Missing package product ‘ ’

When cloning a new project and trying to build it, you might encounter the error: "Package.resolved file is corrupted or malformed; fix or delete the file to continue: unknown 'PinsStorage' version '3'" and "Missing package product."

Here's what I tried:

1. Reset Package Caches: From Xcode, go to File → Packages → Reset Package Caches. Unfortunately, this didn't work.
2. Delete DerivedData: I deleted the DerivedData, but the issue persisted.

Here’s the solution that worked for me:

Step 1. Close Your Project: Close the Xcode project.

Step 2. Delete the Package.resolved File:

• Open Finder and locate your project.xcodeproj.
• Right-click on it and select Show Package Contents.
• Navigate to project.xcworkspace → xcshareddata → swiftpm.
• Delete the Package.resolved file and empty the bin.

Step 3. Reopen Your Project: Open the project in Xcode.

Step 4. Build Your Project: The project should build successfully now.

The Package.resolved file is similar to a Podfile.lock in CocoaPods. When you encounter package issues, deleting it and rebuilding the project will generate a new one.
