How to generate web3swift framework file from source

[soharang]

hello,

I tried to follow the guide to build web3swift by my self with my local source.
But I couldn't get a valid framework file to apply to my project.

Here is my steps.

1. I made a clone the branch named "develop" in my local storage because I need the commit which updates the version of libraries for xcode 12.5(Update Cartfile and Pods dependencies #330).
   It seems that the commit has not been merged into the official branch.

2. I executed following commands in the source location.

   % brew install carthage
   % carthage update --platform iOS --use-xcframeworks
   % ./carthage-build.sh build --platform iOS
   

3. I opened web3swift.xcworkspace and run Build by Cmd+B.

That was all from the guide, "Build from source" and I have no idea how to apply my build output.
So I tried following steps to create web3swift.xcframework.

% xcodebuild archive -scheme "web3swift" -archivePath "build/ios.xcarchive" -sdk iphoneos SKIP_INSTALL=NO BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES 
% xcodebuild archive -scheme "web3swift" -archivePath "build/ios_simulator.xcarchive" -sdk iphonesimulator SKIP_INSTALL=NO BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES 
% xcodebuild -create-xcframework -framework "build/ios.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/web3swift.framework" -framework "build/ios_simulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/web3swift.framework" -output "build/web3swift.xcframework" 

I got a web3swift.xcframework so I put this into my project by adding it in Frameworks and Libraries.
And when I try to import "web3swift" it says "Failed to build module 'web3swift' from its module interface; it may have been damaged or it may have triggered a bug in the Swift compiler when it was produced".

It seems that I did wrong during creating framework output because I cannot import other related libraries too such as BigInt and CryptoSwift.

Can anyone give me a little help to create a right library from source?

Here is my environment.

• Xcode 12.5.1
• Swift 5.4.2
• Latest commit in the branch : a3b2acf
• Carthage 0.38.0
• Brew 3.2.9
• Big Sur 11.4

I solved the problem.
I added --no-skip-current parameter to build command and now I got web3swift.framework.
"% ./carthage-build.sh build --platform iOS --no-skip-current"

So I copied and added Carthage/Build/iOS/*.framework files into my project.

Now I got another problem importing web3swiflt regarding BigInt.BigUInt - 'BigUInt' is not a member type of struct 'BigInt.BigInt' in x86_64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftinterface.

I solved another problem.
I added --use-xcframwork in the command, carthage-build.sh build
% ./carthage-build.sh build --platform iOS --no-skip-current --use-xcframwork
Finally I can import web3swift without any error.
