Thanks for reporting! We looked into this but haven't been able to reproduce yet on a new clone of the repo.

I tried to debug it previously and found that it was related to ArgumentParser which is used as a dependency in the project. Today, when I reopened the project, found null instead of the ArgumentParser

Is your problem resolved? I have the same problem and have not resolved yet

We just switched to building entirely with SPM so there aren't any project files and no need to pod install, so if you pull the latest main the step that caused this issue is no longer relevant
