After updating to Xcode 14.3, I am encountering a build error while attempting to build my app. Specifically, the error message states that "'init' has been explicitly marked available here."

That looks pretty serious! Build errors are always a high priority. Thanks for reporting.

I'm just updating my dev environments to Xcode 14.3 now and will take a look

[mikehardy]

Wow, that took forever! Xcode updates are a bear. Also a requirement, though, so it's done now.

It's a silly coding error on my part. Those three news that are causing problems should all be allocs

Patch + release landing in a moment, if you're following along you'll see the PR linked here on the issue, and in that PR if you need a patch immediately vs updating the packages, our CI generates a set of patch-package compatible patches you may apply.
