Bug Description

I installed the SwiftLink plugin, and after building (and failing to build), XCode began to crash. Sometimes the crash would happen immediately after opening XCode, and sometimes it would take a minute or two. I do not have a .swiftlint file, so whatever default rules were being applied.

Here are the steps to installation, and configuration, that I used:

1. File > Add Package Dependencies
2. Paste https://github.com/realm/SwiftLint.git into the search box
3. Using the defaults, clicked Add Package
   • Dependency Rule: Up to Next Major Version (0.61.0 < 1.0.0)
   • Add to Project (My Project)
4. Under Choose Package Products for SwiftLint.git, click Add Package
   • SwiftLintFramework/Library left Add to Target blank
   • swiftlint/Executable left Add to Target blank
5. Open my .xcodeproj file, select Build Phases
6. Select my project as the Target
7. Under Run Build Tool Plug-ins click the +
8. Select SwiftLintBuildToolPlugin and clicked Add
9. Built the project and got Build Failed (expected)
10. Went to Warning section of XCode and Trust & Enable All for SwiftLint
11. Built again to get all warnings

The crashes started occurring after I began fixing the warnings based on SwiftLint's recommendations (e.g., not initializing optionals with nil, line length, etc). I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and the issue still occurs.

Environment

• SwiftLint version: 0.61.0
• Xcode version: Xcode 26.0.1 / Build version 17A400
• Installation method used: Add Package Dependencies
• Configuration file: none

Are you using nested configurations? No

If it will help, I have attached the crash log from XCode.

I noticed that I had previously installed swiftlint using Homebrew, and thought maybe that was causing the issue. So I removed the Homebrew installation, but the crashing still occurs.
