iOS应用真机构建正常但模拟器启动崩溃，提示找不到'Main'故事板的问题求助

大家好，我遇到了一个棘手的问题，想请教下社区的各位：

我一直在用真机开发我的iOS应用，过去几个星期里做了几百次构建，一切都正常。但现在我需要测试一个需要模拟定位的功能，真机没法实现这个操作，所以不得不尝试在模拟器上构建运行。结果刚启动App（不管是手动启动还是Xcode自动启动）就直接崩溃了，崩溃日志如下：

从日志能看出来，App在找一个叫'Main'的故事板，但我从项目创建第一天开始就完全用代码编写所有UI，根本没添加过任何故事板文件。

我已经做了这些排查步骤：

• 检查Launch Screen的设置，确认里面没有引用故事板（本来就是空的）
• 全局搜索Info.plist，确认没有任何'Main'或者Storyboard相关的配置项
• 检查项目的Deployment Target，确认设置的是iPhone（不是通用或其他）

现在我怀疑会不会是某个第三方依赖在内部引用了故事板？如果真的是这个原因，我该怎么排查出是哪个依赖导致的呢？麻烦各位给点思路，谢谢了！
