I'm trying to publish two frameworks I wrote in Swift on GitHub.

https://github.com/nickasd/BoardGameKit

https://github.com/nickasd/BoardGameKitHost

I want to add the first framework as a dependency to one of my Xcode projects. I click on the + button in the Package Dependencies tab, select BoardGameKit and click Add Package. A sheet opens and after a couple seconds, while the sheet is still open, Xcode crashes.

When I try the same steps with the second framework, Xcode survives and finally shows me a confirmation sheet, and clicking on Add Package works as expected.

Both repositories look exactly the same to me, except for their name of course. I even force pushed the default, empty Swift package created in Xcode with the Framework template to both repositories, and still only the first one makes Xcode crash, even after deleting all DerivedData folders and restarting Xcode.

What could be the issue?

I created FB22832333.

Thanks. If in the meantime you should happen to know why Xcode crashes, e.g. because of some configuration of the repository, please let me know, so that I can see if I can find a workaround and go on with publishing it without having to wait for the next Xcode update.
