Since around 8 days agos all of our jobs fail with the following error:  
▸ Running script ‘[CP] Copy XCFrameworks’

❌ error: Sandbox: rsync.samba(12267) deny(1) file-write-create /Users/distiller/project/App1/build/DerivedData/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/XCFrameworkIntermediates/GoogleAnalytics/GoogleAnalytics.framework/Headers (in target ‘GoogleAnalytics’ from project ‘Pods’)

I tried to rerun jobs that passed 10 days ago and they also fail with the same error.

Did anyone else have the same error and managed to resolve this issue?

Build iOS app for simulators - unit tests.  
Xcode 15.2 (also tried Xcode 15.4)  
cocoa pods 1.14.3  
fastlane (latest)

If I manually run this build phase using SSH connection to the circle ci build machine it pass:

The issue was found to be in the latest version of Fastlane.  
I downgraded Fastlane to a known to work version (2.222.0) and the issue resolved.
