In my app target Foo, I have a dependency on package Bar. Bar itself have a dependency on another package Other.

In my test target FooTests, I have a dependency on package BarTestsHelpers. BarTestsHelpers depends on Bar.

When compiling test target FooTests, I get the following unexpected warning in Xcode 26 only:

'Bar' is missing a dependency on 'Other' because dependency scan of Swift module 'Bar' discovered a dependency on 'Other'

I can see this is being discussed here as well without a solution.

I filled a feedback with a sample project here: FB20602885

It seems that we can remove the warning by explicitly adding the dependency Other on BarTestHelpers. But this shouldn't be needed as BarTestHelpers doesn't use nor know about Other, it only needs it as part of its dependency on Bar.

This is actually untrue. Project wasn't properly cleaned when doing that test.
