This usually indicates that project itself failed to compile. Please check the xcodebuild log for more details: /var/folders/4t/fg591t79335363zm3b23z9qr0000gn/T/carthage-xcodebuild.kxbc67.log

Actual outcome
Carthage fails to build the Differ dependency. I've attached the log file. When running the command (xcrun codebuild …) manually, the archive succeeds with this log.

Expected outcome
Carthage should build all dependencies.

I'm using a build script as described here to build static frameworks:

#!/bin/sh -e

xcconfig=$(mktemp /tmp/static.xcconfig.XXXXXX)
trap 'rm -f "$xcconfig"' INT TERM HUP EXIT

echo "LD = $PWD/ld.py" >> $xcconfig
echo "DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf" >> $xcconfig

export XCODE_XCCONFIG_FILE="$xcconfig"

carthage build --platform ios --no-use-binaries

Building static frameworks is experimental at best. Also, as pointed out on the page of ld.py there is no need to override LD anymore.

[tmspzz]

You can build Carthage from this branch #2415 currently under development and try out static framework support.

[floschliep]

@blender Thanks for pointing that out, removing the LD overwrite seems to fix this.

I should also mention that everything worked fine before upgrading to Xcode 9.3, in case anyone else ever runs into this.

[floschliep]

Forget what I said about removing the LD overwrite, as I now discovered this apparently made Carthage build dynamic frameworks.

[floschliep]

@blender I'm now using the branch from #2415 but can't get Carthage to build static frameworks. I tried altering my build script to do the following:

echo "MACH_O_TYPE = staticlib" >> $xcconfig

but with this, Carthage is unable to find the scheme.

[Aranoledur]

What if you change Mach-O Type in xcode project at Carthage/Checkouts/Differ and then run carthage build again?

[floschliep]

That doesn't seem to make a difference, I still get the same error:

Dependency "Differ" has no shared framework schemes for any of the platforms: iOS

If I remove the --platform ios option, the error is:

Dependency "Differ" has no shared framework schemes

[Aranoledur]

Ok, will try to find what is wrong here. Thanks for pointing this out

[Aranoledur]

@floschliep Well, I don't know how to debug custom script, but I was able to build static framework by using carthage from branch Aranoledur:support-building-static-frameworks and changing Mach-O Type in Differ.xcodeproj

[floschliep]

@Aranoledur That's what I did too. I deleted Carthage/Checkouts/Differ, ran carthage bootstrap --platform ios --no-use-binaries --no-build, changed the Mach-O type and then carthage build Differ --platform ios --no-use-binaries --verbose:

*** Skipped building Differ due to the error:
Dependency "Differ" has no shared framework schemes for any of the platforms: iOS

If you believe this to be an error, please file an issue with the maintainers at https://github.com/tonyarnold/Differ/issues/new

[Aranoledur]

I use carthage built by XCode. Do you call make install or use XCode too? They have to be the same, but still

[floschliep]

@Aranoledur I used make install.

[Aranoledur]

commit sha ce73a6e51362ee30a1c785e2bc26dc39c46f1677?

[floschliep]

Yes.

[Aranoledur]

It's a kind of magic 😃 I have bumped carthage version, so pull, make install again and check what version do you use, it should be 0.29.1. Think it can help

[floschliep]

It's version 0.29.0 for me. I even changed the version manually in the Xcode project and ran make install again. Are you also using the support-building-static-frameworks branch from your fork?

[Aranoledur]

Yes, I don't have rights to push to original repo. Commit sha: 661fb613af5778410709f5fab25351ea34d7014e

[tmspzz]

@floschliep on this repo, Carthage/Carthage you can check @Aranoledur PR by:

$ git fetch origin pull/2415/head:pull/2415
$ git checkout pull/2415
$ make install

[floschliep]

@blender That did the trick, thanks! Also my custom script that modifies the config file works now:

#!/bin/sh -e

xcconfig=$(mktemp /tmp/static.xcconfig.XXXXXX)
trap 'rm -f "$xcconfig"' INT TERM HUP EXIT

echo "MACH_O_TYPE = staticlib" >> $xcconfig
echo "DEBUG_INFORMATION_FORMAT = dwarf" >> $xcconfig

export XCODE_XCCONFIG_FILE="$xcconfig"

carthage build --platform ios --no-use-binaries

With this you don't need to manually edit the Xcode projects anymore.

Thanks @Aranoledur for your work 🙌

[tmspzz]

@floschliep @Aranoledur awesome.
