Building on Xcode 12

[mattyg]

I saw that voxeet-uxkit-ios was just updated 1.3.6 to support building with Carthage on Xcode 12. I forked this plugin to use the updated voxeet-uxkit-ios, but I'm still unable to build it.

After adding the plugin to cordova, and it failing, I run the following (where carthage.sh is the script noted in this comment

$ carthage.sh update --platform ios --project-directory /path/to/app/plugins/cordova-plugin-voxeet/src/ios

@VTCoco could you please upgrade voxeet-uxkit-cordova project for compatibility with XCode 12 ?

[VTCoco]

Hello @mattyg, you were on a good track but you forgot to also bump the VoxeetSDK version.
I will publish a new update that bump those frameworks and @youssmak you will need to create a carthage.sh script like the one mentions above (Carthage/Carthage#3019 (comment)) because Carthage doesn't officially supports Xcode 12.

My carthage.sh script looks like:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage/issues/3019

# carthage.sh
# Usage example: ./carthage.sh build --platform iOS

set -euo pipefail

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

# For Xcode 12 make sure EXCLUDED_ARCHS is set to arm architectures otherwise
# the build will fail on lipo due to duplicate architectures.
echo 'EXCLUDED_ARCHS__EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX_simulator__NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT_x86_64__XCODE_1200 = arm64 arm64e armv7 armv7s armv6 armv8' >> $xcconfig
echo 'EXCLUDED_ARCHS = $(inherited) $(EXCLUDED_ARCHS__EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX_$(EFFECTIVE_PLATFORM_SUFFIX)__NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT_$(NATIVE_ARCH_64_BIT)__XCODE_$(XCODE_VERSION_MAJOR))' >> $xcconfig

export XCODE_XCCONFIG_FILE="$xcconfig"
carthage "$@"

[mattyg]

Thanks @VTCoco, but the build is still failing with the same error on 1.3.33. Have you been able to successfully install the plugin in an example cordova app?

[VTCoco]

With these steps I got my sample running:

#  Clean voxeet plugin
cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-voxeet

# Add voxeet plugin from npm
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-voxeet

The last step should fail because it can't use carthage with Xcode 12 on SDWebImageMapKit or VoxeetUXKit:

...
Error: Command failed: carthage update --platform ios --project-directory /Users/clarr/Projects/test/cordova/hello2/plugins/cordova-plugin-voxeet/src/ios
Build Failed
	Task failed with exit code 1:
...

Then launch the local carthage script:

./carthage.sh update --platform ios --project-directory /Users/username/Projects/cordova/plugins/cordova-plugin-voxeet/src/ios

@VTCoco Huh, I'm not sure what's different about my system. I tried on Xcode 12.0.1 and downgraded to 12.0 and am still getting the same result.

I'm following the same steps, and the ./carthage.sh command output still ends with:

*** Building scheme "VoxeetUXKit" in VoxeetUXKit.xcodeproj

And the xcodebuild log still ends with:

How is that suppose to run in a CI? The plugin script is still failing

[VTCoco]

Waiting for an official solution from Carthage maybe the current "best" way is to modify cordova script to use the custom carthage.sh (#30 (comment))?

[Tallyb]

I think this is a valid solution. Add the carthage.sh to the repo and call it.
Or maybe you can just add a xxconfig.tmp and use it for configuration.

[mattyg]

@Tallyb Is it actually building for you with the carthage.sh script?

[Tallyb]

@mattyg - with some tweaks. Unfortunately, it does not seem to work properly.
@VTCoco - I think embedding properly built frameworks in the repo, is the one solution that can save all this trouble. We have been spending days over this.

[mattyg]

It's building and working properly now with the new release 1.3.35 running the 3.x sdk.

Thanks so much for your help!

[Tallyb]

Well - you would except upgrading the sdk to a major version would at least be a minor version for this plugin, no?

[VTCoco]

Hello, yes we published the v1.3.35 with your advices to integrate the Carthage script into the Cordova build, thank you for your help.

[Tallyb]

@VTCoco - I think it will work best if you simply embed the built framework in the code and not rely on local carthage. That can surely remove many problems of the build, and any new sdk requires a new release whatsoever.

[VTCoco]

Do you want our .framework directly been published into github? (this is a bad idea)

However if you want to get our .framework from somewhere else than Carthage (which doesn't officially support Xcode 12 for now as a reminder...) you can grab them from our S3 links available here: https://github.com/voxeet/voxeet-sdk-ios/blob/master/VoxeetSDK.json

[Tallyb]

well, wikitude cordova plugins, for instance, place the FW inside the repo. Anyway, having those links is useful. thank you.
