Mac Catalyst support

[vox-humana]

A feature request for adding Catalyst support. Currently XCFrameworks in Pulse distribution contain only iOS and simulator frameworks.

It needs an extra build for -destination 'platform=macOS,arch=x86_64,variant=Mac Catalyst' according to this beautiful guide https://pspdfkit.com/blog/2020/supporting-xcframeworks/

Got it, thanks for the details. I'll push a version with Catalyst support soon. And the initial macOS version.

I'm using swift-create-xcframework to create xcframeworks, apparently there is some issue with catalyst https://github.com/unsignedapps/swift-create-xcframework/issues/27. I don't know yet if it's the issue on my side or in the script. I can build the package for Catalyst from Xcode just fine.

Thanks for such an instant reply and for the bug reference 👀

0.9.5 shipped without Catalyst. It's getting a bit late, I'll see what I can do some time this week.

In the meantime, Pulse macOS Alpha is out. It's attached to https://github.com/kean/PulseUI/releases/tag/0.9.5.

Hi, thanks for the work; really excited to be using it!

Trying to install for a multi-platform SwiftUI project.

Get this on building:

While building for macOS, no library for this platform was found in  
'/Users/carlton/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../SourcePackages/artifacts/Pulse/PulseCore.xcframework'.

While building for macOS, no library for this platform was found in 
'/Users/carlton/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/.../SourcePackages/artifacts/Pulse/PulseUI.xcframework'.

Can I confirm whether this is expected limitation at this point?

Package version is 0.9.8.
(I was going to create a new issue, because not Catalyst, but presumably they're solved together? 🤔)

Thanks!

Thank you, and thanks for sponsoring!

Yes, this is an expected limitation. Pulse is currently available in a form of a Swift package for iOS apps and a separate macOS app.

I'll prioritize adding support for other platforms and will try to get a new build ready by the end of the day.

Hey @kean.

Thanks for the quick reply, and no stress. 🙂 it would be nice to have the macOS build but whatever time line that comes on is fine. (It's the weekend!)

Thanks. C.

The new release with macOS and Mac Catalyst support is up https://github.com/kean/PulseUI/releases/tag/0.9.9. I also opened a fix for swift-create-xcframework.

Right, that's when I work on my personal projects 👀

Super. Good work. Thanks for the release @kean 👍
