Building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS in xcode

Question

System specification: Mac-in-cloud (v 12.3.1) 8 GB. XCODE 13.4

Few months ago we had created a project in xcode on mac-in-cloud. It was working fine and we pushed it on git then rented another mac-in-cloud to test even then project was working fine.

Now a bug come in our app so we rented another mac-in-cloud, pulled code and try to run it but getting this error:

Building for iOS Simulator, but linking in object file built for iOS, file '/Users/user220716/Desktop/Project/[project_name]/platforms/ios/Pods/GoogleMaps/Maps/Frameworks/GoogleMaps.framework/GoogleMaps' for architecture arm64

I tried many solutions of similar questions even some same questions like this and this. But problem didn't solved.

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The second link in your question should be the same problem you have. The solution is basically add arm64 to Excluded Architecture.

Not sure why Xcode allows editing this line as a string, you should not do that, double tap to get a pop-up. – Palmetto

it's worked for me – Drapery

Answer 2

This is an old question, but I ran into it while migrating from an intel based Mac to an M2 based Mac.

While there are many questions with a similar issue, for example this one, most of those seem to be related to intel based Macs running on Xcode versions supporting Apple Silicon.

This particular question mentions GoogleMaps which is the same library I had an issue with. During my research I found this issue opened on GoogleMaps that explains the issue along with some possible solutions, which for me would have required a manual installation of the library.

I was able to resolve my issue by simply changing my Podfile to use version 8 of GoogleMaps.

pod 'GoogleMaps', '~>8.0'

It not work for me – Howzell

phuocantd try second as i describe in 2nd image its work for me – Barrie

I add installer.pods_project.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings["EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]"] = "arm64" end in Podfile and it work for me – Howzell

It worked for me but what is the explanation? I mean, iOS on iPhone and the simulator on M1 Mac run on the same architecture (arm64), right? Why should I exclude arm64 for the simulator build? Is XCode on M1 Mac running simulators using x64 arch? 🤔 – Trask

Answer 4

I made Build Active Architectures from YES to NO in the build settings for the project and then Xcode 15 asked me if I want to run with Rosetta simulators, I said "hell yea!". Then the build failed. But I switched Build Active Architectures back to YES and running it still with Rosetta worked. The issue I have is GoogleWebRTC not building in non Rosetta simulators in Xcode 15.
