iOS build error: framework not found TNSWidgets NS 7.2 Xcode 12.4 #5498

Description

@felixkrautschuk

Environment
Provide version numbers for the following components (information can be retrieved by running tns info in your project folder or by inspecting the package.json of the project):

  • CLI: 7.2.0
  • Cross-platform modules: 7.2.1
  • Android Runtime: -
  • iOS Runtime: 7.2.0 (also tested 7.0.0)
  • XCode Version: 12.4
  • Plugin(s): -

Describe the bug
When removing the platforms/ios directory and trying to rebuild the app for iOS after that, the app crashes:

ld: framework not found TNSWidgets
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

(see the complete log at the end of this post)

This issue does NOT occur when using @nativescript/core 7.1.4, it happens when using the 7.2.0 or 7.2.1, probably due to this change: NativeScript/NativeScript#9167
Maybe the issue should be moved to the @nativescript/core thread, but as this is about failing build I decided to post this here.

To Reproduce

  • create a new project or use the sample project provided below
  • tns run ios -> build should work fine
  • remove platforms/ios folder
  • tns run ios -> build will fail
  • remove node_modules folder
  • npm install -> tns run ios -> build will succeed again

Expected behavior
The app should build correctly, even after removing the platforms/ios folder. (like ist was working until @nativescript/core 7.1.4).

Sample project
temp.zip
