v10.42.0 Carthage.xcframework was built using old swift

[Ogerets]

How frequently does the bug occur?

Always

Description

v10.42.0 release contains Carthage.xcframework, which was built with 5.7.2 (swiftlang-5.7.2.135.5 clang-1400.0.29.51).
However the previous v10.41.1 was built using Swift 5.8.1

If I try to build it from sources using latest Swift I get CocoaPodsDynamicExample.xcodeproj cannot be opened because it is missing its project.pbxproj file.

Something is wrong with this release

Carthage is such a nightmare. It looks like if there's multiple zips on a github release with xcframework in the name it just downloads a pseudorandom one, so sometimes it coincidentally picks the first one and sometimes it doesn't. Because the correct one is the first one, it usually happens to use that one.

A very bad workaround is to repeat rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.carthage.CarthageKit && carthage update --use-xcframeworks until it works.

@tgoyne Oh, I had the same issue once.
According to Carthage documentation, there is a way to specify binary project specification file with links to proper xcframework archive.
I think this is the proper way to do it, when there's multiple xcframeworks attached to a release.

I will look into the problem tomorrow again. Maybe I will come up with the draft PR with fix
