xcframeworks | integrating xcframeworks and their co-op | iOS library

I was trying to generate the XCFramework with Kotlin 1.5.31 containing the targets for iOSArm64 and iOSX64 . With the below build.gradle.kt , it generates a FatFrameworks . I’m failing to generate XCFrameworks .

I just moved my Xcode project to use Carthage instead of CocoaPods as my dependency manager, so I am trying to update my GitHub Actions CI workflow to download the dependency binaries.

However, after running carthage bootstrap --platform iOS --use-xcframeworks in my workflow, it eventually gives the output and error:

I have a project which needs to use Libcrypto - and I have two versions of Libcrypto (libcrypto.a (from OpenSSL 1.1.1) built for ARM64) and (lcrypto.a (from OpenSSL 1.0.2) for Intel). Leaving aside the issues of whether it's good practice or not to have two different versions, I can say that if I include libcrypto.a then I can build and run on M1 and it works fine on M1. If I include lcrypto.a then I can build and run on Intel and it works fine on Intel. What I can't do is include them both (linker error - The linked library 'lcrypto.a' is missing one or more architectures required by this target: arm64.) - and if I can't include them both then I can't build a fat binary, and my app is less than entirely useful!

My question is How can I include both in my project - or where can I get (and how can I include) a fat version of Libcrypto? I've looked at this https://github.com/balthisar/openssl-xcframeworks/releases and this https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/670631 but I'm none the wiser. I think I built a Fat Binary - but the Fat Binary I thought that I built doesn't work for either architecture!

I am having an issue with GitHub Actions. When I call productsign the job just hangs. When searching the internet it seems that the job tries to ask the user for a password but I do not get any errors or feedback from the logs. The job just hangs for ever. When run on my own computer everything works as expected and the .pkg is signed.

My step in the workflow is as follows

I am trying to create a workflow_dispatch pipeline on Github actions and I want some jobs to be executed under certain circumstances but I am unable to achieve it.

Here is my full yaml file:

Consider OpenSSL, the project itself has two products: libssl.a and libcrypto.a. For the sake of simplicity, let's use the precompiled libraries stored in this repository and consider just iphonesimulator platform.

When looking at the repository, each platform, e.g. iphonesimulator or iphoneos will have a set of static libraries for all of the architectures needed.

My goal is to create an XCFramework that bundles those two static libraries, so that it would be convenient to use with Swift Package Manager as a single package.

I definitely can create an XCFramework supporting multiple platforms: iOS Simulator (i386, x86_64, arm64), iOS (arm64, arm7...) from static libraries with the following command:

I'm using Carthage for setting up my project's RxSwift dependency. And recently, I tried to use XCFrameworks instead with the command carthage update --platform ios --use-xcframeworks. I've set up all that is needed to be set (eg. changing the .frameworks to .xcframeworks in the Link Binary With Libraries in the targets' Build Phase, etc). It worked and I can run or test in the simulator, until today that is. When I was trying to do the tests this morning, all of a sudden it failed (although it worked fine before) with the error No such module 'RxBlocking'. I've double-checked it and the xcframework has already been built in the Carthage/Build folder, and the xcframework has already been added to the test target's settings.

I've tried all of these but it all failed:

1. Setting the $(PROJECT_DIR)/Carthage/Build to the Framework Search Paths for the target
2. Deleting DerivedData/ and/or Carthage/ folders
3. Resetting the Mac

Can anybody help me to fix this? BTW, I'm on XCode 12.4 and Swift 5. Thanks.

I want to have some XCFrameworks into an umbrella framework or umbrella xcframework using Xcode 12.4 for iOS. I tried all the approaches mentioned in these threads. However, I am not able to get it working for any of the swift classes in my client app.

Note that this works seamlessly with ObjC classes.

Umbrella framework

XCFramework with static frameworks sub dependencies

Approach 1 - Create .framework

When I build a .framework by adding sub xcframeworks to copy framework build phase, I see that xcframework subprojects are extracted to static libraries ".a" files. I import this .framework in my application which is ObjC + Swift, I get "No such modules" error for all the subprojects in all the swift classes which imports the umbrella framework

Approach 2 - Create .xcframework

When I create a .xcframework with all xcframework sub projects, I get No such module 'XXXX' error in x86_64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftinterface when I use the umbrella framework in the client app

Note that I am linking and embedding the umbrella / xcframework in client app.

Another Thought

Also, when I create a sample app with Xcode 12.4 and import the same umbrella framework/.xcframework, everything works fine. Is this something to do with the client app .xcodeproj created in older versions of XCode ?

I need to install with carthage the package https://github.com/socketio/socket.io-client-swift with a Xcode 12 project.
