Problems using lib in simulator

[rafagan]

The library is presenting the following issue when build for iOS simulator:

In <...>/Pods/YYImage/Vendor/WebP.framework/WebP(libwebpencode_la-config.o), building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS, for architecture arm64

Any help?

Hi there, we're having the same issue, with manual installation as we manage dependencies through Carthage:

[omitted]/Vendor/WebP.framework/WebP(libwebpencode_la-config.o), building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS, for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

This apparently only happens when building in Release configuration for a simulator destination. It does not happen in the remaining three cases (Debug for simulator and bot Release/Debug for device).

Did you have any luck in solving the issue?
Thanks

No, I don't. For now I'm using only real devices. I think this library wasn't configured for x86_64 architectures

Thanks for reply. In the meantime we found the issue. There are a couple of workarounds (not definitive solutions, I mean). You can find more details in a (quite dense) Stack Overflow page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63607158/xcode-12-building-for-ios-simulator-but-linking-in-an-object-file-built-for-io/

I'd suggest to especially read the current second answer for an understanding of the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63607158/xcode-12-building-for-ios-simulator-but-linking-in-an-object-file-built-for-io/64139830#64139830

The two workarounds are the one related to ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH and the one related to EXCLUDED_ARCHS.

@rafagan you might want to consider closing the issue, if that's the case. Regards
