Xcode 10b5 - duplicate symbol linker error, can't compile with Crashlytics

Question

I'm trying to compile my project, which has both Firebase, Crashlytics/Fabric, and a bunch of other stuff, with Xcode 10 beta 5. It fails during linking with these errors:

What's the trick to get Google Fabric / Crashlytics working with Xcode 10?

Edit: Thanks to all who have commented so far. What i've tried so far:

tried reinstalling the pods / clearing pod caches
tried cleaning build folder, then restarting xcode
tried playing with -ObjC linker flag. It does indeed look like this flag has something to do with the issue, but unfortunately I need this flag active as I use objective-c frameworks that have static categories on classes

Did the project work in previous versions of Xcode? Or is it just since 10b5 that it’s failing? — Fogmeister, Jul 30 '18 at 22:10
@Fogmeister Tried cleaning build folder, reinstalling pods after killing pod repo caches, restarting xcode. Worked fine on xcode 9. This is my first attempt to move this project to xcode 10. — xaphod, Jul 30 '18 at 22:12
i'm getting "ld: 163 duplicate symbols for architecture arm64" — Andrew K, Jul 31 '18 at 02:32
My project can build and run on simulator but fail on archiving. — tpeodndyy, Jul 31 '18 at 07:06
I have the same problem with Xcode 10 beta5. It worked without issues on beta4. So far I can only say that there is a problem with using "-ObjC" or "-force_load" flags in linker. I can also confirm that it only fails to build for real devices and works without issues for Simulators. Apple will need to fix this. — Mikrohard, Jul 31 '18 at 07:39
I have the same issue but also on Xcode beta 4. Removing the `-ObjC` linker flag seems to help but then the app crashes on `+[CLSFileManager defaultCenter]: unrecognized selector sent to class` — Jan, Jul 31 '18 at 09:08
Im having the same issues. Ive tried adding the $(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(INFOPLIST_PATH) to the run script but that didn't work. — mKane, Jul 31 '18 at 12:37
Tried all the suggestions above and none of them worked, I reverted back to xcode10b4 and problem solved..;) — Nilesh, Jul 31 '18 at 16:24
Found Xcode 10b4 download link here for anyone who needs to revert: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10335747/how-to-download-xcode-dmg-or-xip-file — gohnjanotis, Jul 31 '18 at 18:12

Got a response from Apple staff. See Eskimo's response here. https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/106694 — xaphod, Aug 06 '18 at 18:20
@ACVM: Actually the download link (3 comments above) works fine still. — Vladimir Grigorov, Aug 08 '18 at 09:05
