Use `-skipMacroValidation` for xcodebuild command when using an external package that includes macros

Question

My GitHub CI was failing with a xcodebuild when I included a swift package that contains some macros. The build with xcodebuild was simply telling me xcodebuild: error: Failed writing xctestrun file: The folder .xctestrun doesn’t exist. and failed. The package resolving worked but the build failed. Locally it is working properly.

After a very long journey I finally found out:

xcodebuild needs the parameter -skipMacroValidation to work properly.

Obviously locally it was working because I initially enabled the package when adding it to the dependencies.

Another possibility is to update defaults on the CI machine before build:

defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode IDESkipMacroFingerprintValidation -bool YES
