xcode_swift_toolchain requires Xcode and can only run on macOS, but the rule carries no execution-platform constraint. In builds that register non-mac execution platforms first (e.g. Linux remote executors used to cross-compile for Apple platforms), toolchain resolution hands the rule a Linux execution platform, and use_cc_toolchain() then pairs the Xcode Swift toolchain with that platform's C++ toolchain, breaking analysis. Before the migration to use_cc_toolchain(), the constraint was expressed through the rule's default exec group; restore it on the rule itself.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I thought these were enough for this case?
rules_swift/swift/toolchains/BUILD
Lines 89 to 105 in f765fda
seems harmless to me tho
