Thx for the changes, looks a lot better now.

provides=(libobjc2)
conflicts=(libobjc2 libdispatch)

packages always provide themselves and conflicting with themself is weird, what do you aim to achieve with that ?

cmake_gen() {
    if hash ninja 2>/dev/null; then
        echo "Ninja"
    else
        echo "Unix Makefiles"
    fi
}

With cmake the maibtainer should decide whether to use ninja or automake . The cross platform nature of the source and presence of *.in files suggests upstream targets make .

One other thing :

/usr/lib/pkgconfig/libobjc.pc has -lobjc . This may have to be changed to -lobjc2 to prevent link failure in applications.

libobjc2: /usr/lib/libobjc.so exists in filesystem (owned by gcc-libs)

This package doesn't comply with https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CMake_package_guidelines and the conflict with gcc-libs means it can not even be installed on archlinux.

As being able to run on vanilla archlinux is a hard requirement for any aur package, please correct those issues immediately.

I marked this out of date but forgot to mention the eh trampoline patch is no longer needed. Also /usr/lib/libobjc.so conflicts with gcc-libs.
