[Xcode 12][SwiftPM] App fails to build when linking to AppsFlyer 6.1.0 or fails to Export for AppsFlyer 6.1.2

[Panajev]

Report

SDK Version

6.1.0 - 6.1.2 (former fails to codesign, latter fails to export)

What did you do?

Replaced the AppsFlyer CocoaPod pod with the SPM version

What did you expect to happen?

Application to compile successfully

What happened instead?

App fails to build when linking to AppsFlyer 6.1.0 code signing is invoked for it and fails

Please provide any other relevant information.

Hello, we understand the SPM version suggested for AppsFlyer is 6.0.8, but does it mean that it is SPM supported from that version onwards or just 6.0.8 and not 6.1.0? Can documentation be improved to reflect this?

Hello, it's been 2 months since the problem was discovered, is there any progress? Apps with AppsFlyer installed via SPM still cannot be uploaded to the AppStore

Hi! I managed to release my app yesterday with Appsflyer added as spm. See my comment above, try doing the same steps?

Understand there might be a workaround, but we would really love a package who works out of the box, without fiddling with scripts or else; I guess it's fair?

Sure! I myself would be very glad to get rid of those scripts. But for now it seems to be the only way to proceed with the SPM approach.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll try tomorrow)

Export only works for me when I add this as a post-action build phase. (see above)

rm -rf "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app/Frameworks/AppsFlyerLib.framework"
rm -rf "${TARGET_BUILD_DIR}/${PRODUCT_NAME}.app/PlugIns/AppsFlyerLib.framework"

According to https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/6472#issuecomment-772589092 the static framework issue has been fixed with Xcode 12.5.

I have been receiving the error:

This just happen on Release and on iOS Simulator.

Solving the problem (before Xcode 12.5):

• add build phase run script (after embedding and so on):

echo "Removing static frameworks from ${TARGET_NAME}.app"
find "${BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR}/${TARGET_NAME}.app/" -name '*.framework' -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' fm; do
    name=$(basename "${fm}" .framework)
    target="${fm}/${name}"
    echo "Checking: ${fm}"
    if file "${target}" | grep -q "current ar archive"; then
        rm -rf "${fm}"
        echo "Removed static framework: ${fm}"
    fi
done

P.S. This script remove all static libs for output app frameworks
