Something changed in Gradle 7.6 from 7.5.x. I have this in the podspec file generated by the cocoapods plugin:

spec.pod_target_xcconfig = {
        'KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH' => ':',
        'PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME' => 'whatever',
    }
                
    spec.script_phases = [
        {
            :name => 'Build events',
            :execution_position => :before_compile,
            :shell_path => '/bin/sh',
            :script => <<-SCRIPT
                if [ "YES" = "$OVERRIDE_KOTLIN_BUILD_IDE_SUPPORTED" ]; then
                  echo "Skipping Gradle build task invocation due to OVERRIDE_KOTLIN_BUILD_IDE_SUPPORTED environment variable set to \"YES\""
                  exit 0
                fi
                set -ev
                REPO_ROOT="$PODS_TARGET_SRCROOT"
                "$REPO_ROOT/gradlew" -p "$REPO_ROOT" $KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH:syncFramework \
                    -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.platform=$PLATFORM_NAME \
                    -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.archs="$ARCHS" \
                    -Pkotlin.native.cocoapods.configuration="$CONFIGURATION"
            SCRIPT
        }
    ]

Notice how KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH has value : and the Gradle command ran has parameter $KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH:syncFramework which would be ::syncFramework.
This worked with Gradle 7.5.1 but fails with Gradle 7.6:

Cannot locate tasks that match '::syncFramework'. The path should not include an empty segment (try ':syncFramework' instead).

I suppose they added a check. Can't find it in the changelog. I guess I'll do some kind of sed task running after the podGenIOS task in order to fix the podspec (probably set KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH to empty), but am I right thinking the generated podspec file is kinda broken?

My current workaround:

tasks.create<Exec>("fixGeneratedPodspec") {
    commandLine(
        "sed",
        "-i.backup",
        "s/'KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH' => ':'/'KOTLIN_PROJECT_PATH' => ''/",
        "events.podspec"
    )
    doLast {
        delete("events.podspec.backup")
    }
}

tasks.named("podGenIOS").get().finalizedBy("fixGeneratedPodspec")
