I found a few problems with this issue:

• I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.
• This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

Same issue here!

I think this is related to SE-0226 which is only partially implemented and still has the bug in SR-8658. The easiest fix would be, if you would rename Rachability to something like FBReachability until the linked issue is fixed in a future Swift version. the Reachability library is quite common in many projects, also it's a helper target so I think it should be renamed here rather than on the Reachability library.

I could work around this issue by forking ashleymills/Reachability.swift and renaming the library to Reachability.swift.
You just need to use the master branch of my fork https://github.com/Jeehut/Reachability.swift.git instead.

Same issue here, but I think both libs need to rename as this is a big weakness in Swift.

Thanks for the report. I didn't realize that SPM had this namespace issue and introduced this problem in 7.5.0. I'll work on a fix. In the meantime, sticking to 7.4.0 would be another workaround.

Here's a recommendation to prefix product names: https://forums.swift.org/t/logging-module-name-clash-in-vapor-3/25466/4

We've made a 7.5.1 distribution (only for Swift Package Manager) that addresses this issue with prefixes on the products in the GoogleUtilities package.
