With the release of Xcode 26, Apple has removed Rosetta support for the iOS 26 simulator. This causes builds to fail on Apple Silicon Macs if any plugin excludes the arm64 simulator architecture.

This change introduces an early check during the pod install step to detect and abort the build if it finds a plugin configured to exclude the arm64 simulator architecture (via EXCLUDED_ARCHS or VALID_ARCHS).

Testing

  • Verified that the build is unsuccessful when arm64 is excluded.
  • If a plugin excludes arm64, an error is raised showing the plugin that caused it

Fixes #176188

Code Review

This pull request updates the iOS build process to support Xcode 26 simulators on Apple Silicon by removing the automatic exclusion of the arm64 architecture. Instead, it introduces new checks in podhelper.rb to detect if a dependency excludes arm64 and fails the build early. My review includes suggestions to improve the robustness of this new check to prevent potential false positives and to enhance the maintainability of the associated test.

What's the benefit of formatting and splitting the group? Isn't it enough to just check if it contains arm64?

that would be a false positive for strings like 'arm64e'
