| ## Linker Errors with SPM Dependencies in Xcode on arm64e | ||
|
|
||
| This issue only affects projects that integrate Sentry via Swift Package Manager using the <PlatformLink to="/install/swift-package-manager/">`SentrySPM` (compile from source)</PlatformLink> product and build for arm64e. The pre-built binary products (`Sentry`, `Sentry-Dynamic`) are not affected. |

Bug: The troubleshooting guide for the arm64e linker error incorrectly omits the SentryObjC SPM product as an affected package.
Severity: MEDIUM
Suggested Fix
Update the documentation to clarify that the arm64e linker issue affects all compile-from-source Swift Package Manager products, including both SentrySPM and SentryObjC.
Prompt for AI Agent
Review the code at the location below. A potential bug has been identified by an AI
agent. Verify if this is a real issue. If it is, propose a fix; if not, explain why it's
not valid.
Location: docs/platforms/apple/common/troubleshooting/index.mdx#L225
Potential issue: The troubleshooting guide for an `arm64e` linker error incorrectly
states that the issue only affects projects using the `SentrySPM` product. This is
inaccurate because the `SentryObjC` Swift Package Manager product, which also compiles
from source, is equally affected by the same Xcode linker bug. A developer using
`SentryObjC` who encounters this build error would read the guide and mistakenly
conclude the provided workaround does not apply to them, leaving their build issue
unresolved.
Did we get this right? 👍 / 👎 to inform future reviews.

We need to clarify that this only affects using SPM in Xcode UI, and not xcodebuild nor swift build.
