I was hoping to download the built ipa for my ipad to install using troll store

[Infiniteking21]

I saw that there was no ipa so i tried to get informed on how to build it myself, I have no experience there and i run linux with no mac, i had to figure out how to setup a vm with sonoma on it, i got xcode and tried to just open the project file from the zip and hit build but i get hit with tons of errors a lot fo which relating to it trying to point to directories that dont exist anymore in the project. I was wondering if someone could just help me out with the ipa instead, I would really appreciate it, thanks!

@Infiniteking21 It may be really challenging to build the entire thing by yourself on your own Mac, so I recommend you not bother with it anymore because it would take you a lot of time and confusion.
For the IPA, I am currently swamped and busy as my plate is full. I will get around to providing the IPA very soon. I will also try to make the app obtainable via third-party stores like AltStore etc.

Thank you for the reply your work on this app is great, I tested it on an android device already so ill be looking forward to that ios version. I appreciate it thanks.

I downloaded your project and attempted to run it on my device, but I get an error about Pods.
I installed Pods but upon running pod install, I am told to run:
./gradlew :shared:generateDummyFramework

Upon running:
../gradlew :shared:generateDummyFramework
(with 2 dots at the start, as gradlew is the the previous directory)

I get, Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain

I try to fix this by running:
gradle wrapper

But that I get

Project directory '/Users/ace/Documents/syncplay-mobile-0.14.0/iosApp' is not part of the build defined by settings file '/Users/ace/Documents/syncplay-mobile-0.14.0/settings.gradle.kts'. If this is an unrelated build, it must have its own settings file.

Any help on this please?

@Amadace Building a KMP project can be a real pain in the ass as I'd expect it to throw a million errors my way on a fresh environment. I suggest grabbing the code again from the release assets of 0.14.0. Don't open it or do any building yet, follow this:

1- I am running a macOS (which is necessary for building for iOS) Ventura, Android Studio Koala | 2024.1.1 Beta 2 and Xcode 15.2 (with a simulator runtime for iOS 17.2) (I believe the only thing necessary in this case is having both Android Studio and Xcode, versions shouldn't matter much but it's always advisable to grab the latest versions).
2- I have cocoapods installed via Homebrew: brew install cocoapods
3- I make sure Android Studio has this plugin installed: KMM plugin
4- I have [kdoctor](https://github.com/Kotlin/kdoctor) installed via Homebrew (this tool allows you to check whether your environment is ready for KMP builds). You can run the command kdoctor which should tell you whether something is missing.
5- For the missing Gradle wrapper, I have it compressed for you and attached to this. Simply unzip it at the root directory so that the gradle folder sits beside other folders like androidApp, iosApp etc.
6- Now open the project in Android Studio and if it starts to sync the project automatically, stop it. Go to shared/build.gradle.kts and comment the lines that specify the two pods (one for VLC and one for SPLPing, you should fine these two lines within the cocoapods { } lambda).
7- Sync the project now. It will download all the necessary libraries. Once finished, you can uncomment the two pod lines again.
8- Now open the xcworkspace project in Xcode, build it.
9- At this point, everything should be built correctly and the app should be able to run on your device with no issues.

gradle.zip

It is very likely that you'd encounter other errors along the way when building it so I suggest to wait for the app store release sometimes this June.

The ipa package is now attached with the 0.14.0 release. I am not sure if I have generated the ipa correctly but hopefully it works. Feel free to share the results here!
