[Question] Cannot export IPA when using FirebaseX with fastlane

[michae-chu]

Current behavior:
I have created a new Ionic 7 cordova project with FirebaseX and I will use fastlane to export the IPA to certain directory. After I have updated to XCode 16.1, the export does not work anymore. It worked when the XCode was 15.x.
I have also created another new Ionic 7 project without using FirebaseX and the fastlane can export the IPA correctly.

Expected behavior:
The IPA can be exported to the correct directory

Steps to reproduce:
ionic init --cordova
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex
npm install @awesome-cordova-plugins/firebase-x
ionic cordova platform add ios
ionic cordova prepare ios

Install fastlane with brew (https://docs.fastlane.tools/getting-started/ios/setup/)
Use command "fastlane gym init" in "platform/ios" folder. A Gymfile is created in "platform/ios/fastlane". You can change the output path to whatever you want
Use command "fastlane gym" in "platform/ios" folder to trigger the build process
No IPA is found in the output path

Console output

No error during the build. Just a warning

Run script build phase 'Crashlytics' will be run during every build because it does not specify any outputs. To address this warning, either add output dependencies to the script phase, or configure it to run in every build by unchecking "Based on dependency analysis" in the script phase

Other information:
The archived build can be found in XCode -> Window -> Organizer. I am wondering why the fastlane cannot export the IPA to other directory after FirebaseX is added to the project.
