ValidateAppShortcutStringsMetadata error in sample project

I'm trying to run sample Trails app from the documentation, unaltered.

When I do the build, I get a

Command ValidateAppShortcutStringsMetadata failed with a nonzero exit code

error. How do I debug this?

I'm trying this on Xcode 16.4.

I can't reproduce this — I downloaded that sample project, twiddled the code signing settings only, and then built for iOS, iOS simulator, watchOS, watchOS simulator, visionOS, and the visionOS simulator, all with Xcode 16.4. None of them produced this build error.

Can you file a bug report with your exact copy of the sample code project and the complete build report so we have more info about the error?

To get the build report:

  1. Choose View > Navigators > Reports.
  2. Select the report associated with your app’s build in the navigator.
  3. Using the filter bar at the top of the build report, select the filter buttons for All and All Messages.
  4. Click Export in the filter bar to save the detailed build report.

Once you have that filed, please post the FB number here so I can locate your report.
