As far as I see, this is thrown from the Podfile. Maybe the object version is generated here?

Although CocoaPods/CocoaPods#12671 (comment) describes a possible workaround, shouldn't this be done automatically?

A bit of a background on problems of these kind: CocoaPods/CocoaPods#12671 (comment)

As build last month didnt see that error.
Build Server and developers run "$SRCLOC/Scripts/install_pods.sh" and it works ok

FYI: server builds https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-iOS/actions/runs/12856597652

Thanks for the info—retrying the whole process twice solved the problem!
