###### CONSISTENCY BETWEEN MACOS AND IOS #####
#
# In order to use the same PodFile with MacOS, we need to unlink the libraries that do not support Catalyst, filter
# files in native targets build phases, filter dependencies and make sure the unsupported frameworks along with their
# their bundle resources are not included in the final archive. For that, we use `platform_filter` to specify 'ios' and
# 'OTHER_LDFLAGS[sdk=iphone*]' to link those libraries for iPhone and iPad. Besides, we modify "*frameworks.sh" and 
# "*resrouces.sh" to skip installation for architecture x86_64.
#
# *Notice*: 'sdk=iphone*' excludes macOS, even though Catalyst is compiled with iOS SDK.
#
# ADDING A NEW LIBRARY
#
# Pass the name of the new library to the script

Hi @henrytkirk, I'm trying to figure out a way to unlink that bundle. The problem is it doesn't appear in GoogleSignIn's Build phase. What you could do is maybe when you're going to upload an IPA to the App Store, have Fastlane (or other tool) or manually delete that bundle from your ipa. So export it and then delete this bundle or do so directly in the project. I'm still seeing what it can be done

Hi @fermoya - yes, I'm doing that manually for now. I'm not blocked from submitting anymore. Thanks for trying to fix this issue and providing this script.

Hi @fermoya, here is my Podfile:

load 'remove_unsupported_libraries.rb'
target 'What2Do When Bored' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  pod 'Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK'
	
end

def unsupported_pods
   ['GoogleAppMeasurement']
end
post_install do |installer|
   configure_support_catalyst installer, unsupported_pods
end

Hi @Phacometer,

Unfortunately, this isn't how the script is thought to work. If a framework isn't compatible with MacOS, you need to "unlink" that framework, not a dependency. Otherwise, it won't compile. So it should be:

def unsupported_pods
   ['Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK']
end

This will configure this framework and its dependencies so that they're not link for macOS.

Anyway, I've installed Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK in a sample project, version is 7.58.0, Xcode 11.3.1 (not updated yet, I'm having some issues) and it compiles so you wouldn't need to add this framework to the unsupported_pods list

Hi @fermoya,

I removed Google Mobile Ads SDK from unsupported_pods and updated the pods with pod install --repo-update. However it is giving me the old error building for Mac Catalyst, but linking in object file built for iOS Simulator. How did you manage to compile the Mobile Ads SDK for Mac Catalyst? Am I not installing the latest version?

Hi @henrytkirk,

Good to hear you're not blocked. If you check your project folder, you should have a file called Pod-MyProjectName-resources.sh. You should have an if condition like this:

if [[ "$CONFIGURATION" == "Release" ]]; then
    install_resource "${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleSignIn/Resources/GoogleSignIn.bundle"
fi

You can swap if with this:

if [[ "$CONFIGURATION" == "Release" ]] && [ "$ARCHS" != "x86_64" ]; then
    install_resource "${PODS_ROOT}/GoogleSignIn/Resources/GoogleSignIn.bundle"
fi

This will install the resource in your bundle only if it's not a macOS architecture. That should do the trick. Notice if you run pod install or pod update, this script will be generated again and you'll have to modify the script again. I'll keep digging to see if I can do this automatically from the script.

Hi @Phacometer,

Sorry, you're right it doesn't compile. All in all, the pod you're installing is Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK which has a dependency, GoogleAppMeasurement that's incompatible with macCatalyst. The script needs to be needed with Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK, not its dependency, as it'll unlink this library for macOS. If you pass GoogleAppMeasurement then it'll successfully unlink this framework for macOS but Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK won't compile.

So, Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK needs GoogleAppMeasurement to compile and the latter doesn't compile for macCatalyst. Therefore, Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK is incompatible with macCatalyst. You'll need to feed the script with Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK and use #if !targetEnvironment(macCatalyst) to not import this framework in your file.

Hi @henrytkirk,

I've updated the script to automatically remove bundle resources that could come with the Pod. I've been trying it with GoogleSignIn and worked for me, not included for macOS but yes for iOS. I hope it works.

Best

@fermoya,
I'm getting an error, did you add an argument to the script? I see "pod_names_to_keep" was added.

[!] An error occurred while processing the post-install hook of the Podfile.
wrong number of arguments (given 2, expected 3)
remove_unsupported_libraries.rb:320:in 'configure_support_catalyst'

The way I'm calling the script in my Podfile is as follows:

load 'remove_unsupported_libraries.rb'
def unsupported_pods
  ['Firebase/Analytics', 'GoogleSignIn']
end

post_install do |installer|
  # Remove unsupported pods.
  configure_support_catalyst installer, unsupported_pods
end

Hi @henrytkirk,

That’s right, I added it 2 weeks ago I think. I noticed that dependencies might be shared between pods and I would be wrongly unlinking them if needed for a cross-platform pod.

So the script needs to know the pods you’re installing that support macOS architectures and the pods that don’t support macOS architectures.

Ok, I guess it's not too bad to manage those lists. My project has a lot of targets and pods.

Thanks!

@henrytkirk, let me know if you find any issue. So the last additions are:

• Matching supported and unsupported to determine the dependencies to remove
• Modifying "-resources.sh" and "-frameworks.sh" to skip installation for architecture x86_64

@fermoya,

So far so good - except this CocoaPod fails, and I can't figure out how to resolve:

Firebase Analytics:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs/blob/master/Specs/e/2/1/FirebaseAnalytics/6.5.0/FirebaseAnalytics.podspec.json

ld: in /Users/.../Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework/FIRAnalyticsConnector(FIRAnalyticsConnector_c162b9f6e9dd193ef13757b8d7ebe6f7.o), building for Mac Catalyst, but linking in object file built for iOS Simulator, file '/Users/.../Pods/FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework/FIRAnalyticsConnector' for architecture x86_64

Ideas? This used to work before, not sure if it's a change in Firebase or the script.

I wonder if it's this umbrella header:
https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/blob/master/CoreOnly/Sources/Firebase.h

I'll try manually adding the ones I need.

Hi @henrytkirk,

How are you using Firebase pods? I'm using them too and I'm not having that problem. Notice Firebase/Analytics contains pods that aren't compiled for macOS.

@fermoya,

Firebase Analytics isn't supported in Catalyst. I'm also using Auth, Core, Remote Config, etc. It was working fine about two-three weeks ago. Which ones are you using? What does your pod file look like?

def cross_platform_libraries
  [
    'Firebase/Auth',
   'Firebase/Database',
    'Firebase/RemoteConfig'
 ]
end

def ios_only_libraries
  [
    'Firebase/Analytics'
 ]
end

@fermoya,

Still can't get this to work correctly. Keeps failing on FirebaseAnalytics/Frameworks/FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework.

Here is are my supported/unsupported pods so far:

def supported_pods
  ['AFNetworking', 'FBSDKCoreKit', 'Firebase/Auth', 'GTMAppAuth', 'Colours', 'Firebase/RemoteConfig', 'Bolts', 'FBSDKLoginKit']
end
def unsupported_pods
  ['Firebase/Messaging', 'Firebase/Crashlytics', 'Firebase/Analytics', 'GoogleSignIn']
end

Any ideas? Could the script be missing something?

Hi @henrytkirk, can you look up "FIRAnalyticsConnector.framework" in your project and verify is always under "OTHER_LDFLAGS[sdk=iphone*]"?

@fermoya, sorry I'm not familiar with how to identify that. Can you provide some steps?

@fermoya, if you're speaking about the pod .xcconfig, here's the FirebaseAnalytics one:

CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR = ${PODS_CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/FirebaseAnalytics-iOS13.4

Hi @henrytkirk,

I meant you should see something like this:

I just created a new project, I'm installing the libraries you mentioned and it building fine, I'm sharing the Podfile below. Notice I'm explicitly using a version for Firebase pods, 6.23.0. This is because Cocoapods was for some reason installing Firebase.h 3.6.0 for me, which is wrong. If you try using 6.24.0 or 6.25.0 you'll find the error:

[!] CocoaPods could not find compatible versions for pod "GoogleAppMeasurement":
  In Podfile:
    Firebase/Analytics (= 6.24.0) was resolved to 6.24.0, which depends on
      Firebase/Core (= 6.24.0) was resolved to 6.24.0, which depends on
        FirebaseAnalytics (= 6.5.0) was resolved to 6.5.0, which depends on
          GoogleAppMeasurement (= 6.5.0)

I guess they'll be looking into this now. The PodFile is this:

load 'remove_ios_only_frameworks.rb'

def supported_pods
  [
  'AFNetworking',
  'FBSDKCoreKit',
  'Firebase/Auth',
  'GTMAppAuth',
  'Colours',
  'Firebase/RemoteConfig',
  'Bolts',
  'FBSDKLoginKit'
  ]
end

def unsupported_pods
  [
  'Firebase/Messaging',
  'Firebase/Crashlytics',
  'Firebase/Analytics',
  'GoogleSignIn'
  ]
end

target 'CollectionViewLayoutExample' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!

  # Pods for CollectionViewLayoutExample

  pod 'AFNetworking'
  pod 'FBSDKCoreKit'
  pod 'GTMAppAuth'
  pod 'Colours'
  pod 'Bolts'
  pod 'FBSDKLoginKit'
  pod 'Firebase/Messaging', '6.23.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Crashlytics', '6.23.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Analytics', '6.23.0'
  pod 'Firebase/RemoteConfig', '6.23.0'
  pod 'Firebase/Auth', '6.23.0'
  pod 'GoogleSignIn'

end

post_install do |installer|
  configure_support_catalyst installer, supported_pods, unsupported_pods
end

@fermoya,

None of my Cocoapods xcconfig files have "OTHER_LDFLAGS[sdk=iphone*]". How is that set?

@henrytkirk, you need to go to your project folder and run pod install from the terminal so that configure_support_catalyst is called from your Podfile.

Yes, that's how I've been doing it.

@henrytkirk, do you maybe want to schedule a Skype call? Reach me out at fmdr.ct@gmail.com

@fermoya have you used this with the unsupported pod AppCenter/Distribute?

@Brett-Best, no I haven't. When you do pod AppCenter/Distribute it seems that the pod target installed is called AppCenter and not AppCenterDistribute as the script expects. So instead, you should add AppCenter to the unsupported list.

Please, refer to CatalystPodSupport in the future

I don't understand, I'm trying to add a simple pod:
pod 'Firebase/Analytics'
and it doesn't work, does anyone have a simple, the most simple Podfile configuration to include this so it doesn't crash with macOS?

please help
