SwiftLint 0.52.4: "The package product SwiftOperators requires minimum platform version 13.0 for the iOS platform, but this target supports 12.0"

New Issue Checklist

• Updated SwiftLint to the latest version
• I searched for existing GitHub issues

Describe the bug

When updating SwiftLint from 0.52.2 to 0.52.4, I get multiple compiler errors, like in the subject

Environment

• SwiftLint version: 0.52.4

• Installation method used: Swift Package

• Are you using nested configurations?
  No

• Which Xcode version are you using (check xcodebuild -version)?
  15.0

• Do you have a sample that shows the issue? Run echo "[string here]" | swiftlint lint --no-cache --use-stdin --enable-all-rules
  to quickly test if your example is really demonstrating the issue. If your example is more
  complex, you can use swiftlint lint --path [file here] --no-cache --enable-all-rules.
  Yes, I have an open-source sample in GitHub

ISSUE:

• I have a small app in GitHub at https://github.com/curia-damiano/SwiftUIDownloader
• This app was using SwiftLint 0.52.2
• I am checking that everything works with Xcode 15.0 and I want to update to the latest SwiftLint
• I get multiple errors like in the subject.
  I have also removed the package (the solution compiles successfully) and re-added it, but still I get the errors.
• I currently have all my targets at iOS 15.0; I've also updated them to 16.0, but the error persists
• From a similar issue in the Apple Forum, it can be that a dependency of SwiftLint targets iOS 12, but I'm skilled enough to troubleshoot it myself
• If needed, I can attach to this issue my small POC project as zip file (I don't want to commit in GitHub if it doesn't compile)

Duplicate of #5208 but I like your title so I've updated mine to look like yours so others can find it easier :-)

Solved with the release of 0.53.0.

I close my own issue.......

[curia-damiano]

Reopening because on a different project I get exactly the same error, even with 0.53.0

v0.53.0 hasn't fixed it over here. Only updated the error to say it requires support for iOS 12 instead of 11. So improved I guess, but definitely NOT fixed.

The package product SwiftOperators requires minimum platform version 13.0 for the iOS platform, but this target supports 12.0

Please read the error messages that Xcode is providing carefully. Your projects are configured in such a way that Xcode is attempting to build SwiftLint for iOS, which will not compile. SwiftLint supports building and running on macOS and Linux only.

This appears to be a common mistake. Please try this suggestion to see if it helps: #3073 (comment)

I confirm that the comment solves my issue. But you can see that many non-expert devs like me face this issue.
Just as suggestion: would you be able to provide a more specific message?
Also, the old version was working when adding the packages to the targets, so, again, many of us hit this issue.

Anyway, thank you for finally solving this issue!
