[devicelab] Mac_arm64 module_test_ios fails with Xcode 26 #175905
Description
Steps to reproduce
- Clone the flutter repo
- Follow the setup instructions for the devicelab tests in https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blob/master/docs/contributing/testing/Running-and-writing-tests.md#running-device-lab-tests-locally
- From the devicelab directory run
../../bin/dart bin/run.dart -t module_test_ioswith Xcode 26
Expected results
The test passes as it does on Xcode 16
Actual results
The test fails with Xcode 26. It appears to be related to some undefined symbols as I see this in the logs right before the test fails
The same test passes as expected on Xcode 16.3. Logs for both versions of xcode are attached below.
