Bazel 8 crash when building ios_application at the root

[jpsim]

Description of the bug:

When building an iOS app using Bazel 8.0.0 and rules_apple 3.16.0, Bazel crashes with the following output:

$ bazel build //:iOSApp
Analyzing: target //:iOSApp (28 packages loaded, 553 targets configured)
    currently loading: @@rules_python+//python/private

FATAL: bazel crashed due to an internal error. Printing stack trace:

Following the main rules_apple tutorial in doc/tutorials/ios-app.md is enough to reproduce the issue.

I also found that if the ios_application is not at the root then this crash doesn't occur: e.g. //foo:iOSApp

Also using Bazel 7.4.1 works fine. 8.0.0rc1 also crashes in the same way.

Which category does this issue belong to?

No response

What's the simplest, easiest way to reproduce this bug? Please provide a minimal example if possible.

Following the main rules_apple tutorial in doc/tutorials/ios-app.md is enough to reproduce the issue.

Which operating system are you running Bazel on?

macOS 15.1.1 (24B2091)

What is the output of bazel info release?

release 8.0.0

If bazel info release returns development version or (@non-git), tell us how you built Bazel.

What's the output of git remote get-url origin; git rev-parse HEAD ?

No response

If this is a regression, please try to identify the Bazel commit where the bug was introduced with bazelisk --bisect.

cc @pzembrod guess this is a bug in the newly used declare_shareable_artifact bits

[meteorcloudy]

@bazel-io fork 8.0.1

[pzembrod]

Yeah, just looked at #24625 - thanks for your comment there

[pzembrod]

Definitely something we should fix for 8.0.1.

#24698

[iancha1992]

A fix for this issue has been included in Bazel 8.0.1 RC1. Please test out the release candidate and report any issues as soon as possible.
If you're using Bazelisk, you can point to the latest RC by setting USE_BAZEL_VERSION=8.0.1rc1. Thanks!

[jpsim]

Fix works well, thanks!
