@nativescript/ios >= 7.0.1: Undefined symbols for architecture i386

Reproduce la compilación del simulador usando App_Resources/iOS/Podfile con la dependencia de Mapbox-iOS-SDK o Braintree, comparando @nativescript/ios 7.0.0 con 7.0.1–7.1.0. Empiece con la salida de compilación de platforms/ios y las entradas internas de metadata-generator para i386 y x86_64; se considera completado cuando la aplicación configurada se compila y se ejecuta en el simulador de iOS sin los errores del enlazador de arquitectura.

My config

• NativeScript CLI 7.1.2 (also tried previous versions)
• @nativescript/ios 7.1.0 (problem exists since 7.0.1, 7.0.0 is working)
• xcode 12.2 (also tried 12.1 and 12.3 but same issue)

The problem
When creating a new NativeScript app and adding the following to App_Resources/iOS/Podfile:

platform :ios, '9.0'
pod 'Mapbox-iOS-SDK', '~> 6.3.0'

or

pod 'Braintree', '4.36.1'

I have trouble to build the app and run the app on iOS in some situations.

• Using @nativescript/ios 7.0.0**

  • app is building and running on simulator and device

• Using @nativescript/ios 7.0.1 - 7.1.0

  • app is running on physical device
  • app is NOT running on simulator
  • tns run ios --release is failing with the same error message as trying to run it on device:

Unable to apply changes on device: D4022399-722F-4DC5-92B0-6001474E4A7B. Error is: Command xcodebuild failed with exit code 65.

So I guess the important part is:

The newly created NativeScript app using @nativescript/ios 7.1.0 and the Mapbox-iOS-SDK Podfile can be found here:
testapp.zip

There is already a discussion on Github for the nativescript mapbox plugin here: https://github.com/nativescript-community/ui-mapbox/issues/3#issuecomment-732140591 . Yes, it might be related to the Mapbox-iOS-SDK somehow, as this problem does not exist for all Pods, for example pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK', '7.67.0' is working fine with the latest ios v8 runtime.

BUT the error message above sounds like a NativeScript issue, and when I create a new native Xcode iOS App Project and add the Mapbox Pod there, xcode is building and running the project in Simulator as expected.
The native xcode project can be found here:
iosmapboxapp.zip
(Run pod install first, when you want to try it out).

It would be nice if we could use the latest ios runtime and also all ios pods without having problems to build the ios app.
Thanks in advance!
