Archive Validation Error: The bundle at AWSMobileClient.framework contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'.

[cornr]

Describe the bug
After updating from 2.6.18 to 2.7.3 we get following error when deploying to the app store.

Invalid Bundle. The bundle at 'My.app/Frameworks/AWSMobileClient.framework' contains disallowed file 'Frameworks'.

To Reproduce

1. Use Carthage Setup as described in https://aws-amplify.github.io/docs/ios/manualsetup#carthage-setup (with carthage command: carthage update --platform ios --cache-builds --no-use-binaries)
2. Upload to AppStore

Which AWS service(s) are affected?
AWSiOSSDKv2 2.7.x

Expected behavior
No Error from Appstore 😀
"AWSMobileClient.framework should not contain Frameworks directory."?

Additional context
I think this error results in embedding Swift Frameworks into AWSMobileClient.framework (since Swift code was introduced in 2.7). I wonder if this is necessary. Or do we have a project configuration error?

It looks like we are setting the ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES flag in the AWSMobileClient project. I'm testing to make sure our samples work as expected when we unset that, but I think that will be the fix.

I've been experiencing the same issue. Setting ALWAYS_EMBED_SWIFT_STANDARD_LIBRARIES to false in the AWSMobileClient project allowed me to upload my binary to the App Store, and works as expected.

Thanks for confirming @gokeji

We are working on a fix and it will be fixed in a future release.
