Description

Our React Native app fails to build when use_frameworks! :linkage => :static is set in the Podfile. This issue started occurring after upgrading to Realm JS v12.12.0. Given that this configuration was working in previous versions, we expected it to continue working after a minor version upgrade.

I believe the issue was introduced by #6791.

This issue is critical for our project as we rely on react-native-firebase, which requires the use_frameworks! :linkage => :static configuration.

Reproduction Steps

I have created a minimal reproducible example to demonstrate the issue. The repository is available here, and it includes detailed instructions on how to reproduce the build failure.

Note: The example uses Expo with expo-build-properties to set use_frameworks!, but the issue persists regardless of this context.
