Build ios-test-application fails with error: Showing All Messages Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:

Hey I'm trying to run the demo ios-test-application using xCode 9.4.1 but I'm getting the following error:

Looking at the sh script I found that the target for iPhone Simulator is named ios_x64, with task compileDebugIos_x64KotlinNative. Are both the same architecture and this is only a issue with naming?

It is also failing when trying to run it on a physical device"

Looks like an issue with ktor-http-client. @e5l could you please take a look?

Hi, @vicmns. It looks like you try to use x64 framework on the real device.

There are two frameworks in your build directory: arm64, x64. For the simulator consider using the x64 framework, and arm64 for the real device.

[vicmns]

Hey @e5l oh my you were right... I don't remember when I changed the gradle file outPutKind to Framework...

Thanks for the note.

A quick question... in the case that a framework it's built. How can I managed the created frameworks so I can use them without worrying about the device architecture?

I have a project where I create the framework for both platforms. But even when I import them to the xCode project, the compiler is still showing linking errors...

As I know there is no out of the box solution. But you could try to merge frameworks into universal framework. Maybe something like that could help: https://medium.com/swiftindia/build-a-custom-universal-framework-on-ios-swift-549c084de7c8

[e5l]

Consider avoid including both frameworks into the single target. I'd prefer to create 2 run configurations: for simulator and for a device.

[vicmns]

Ok so for the sake of simplicity, I just imported the x64 framework to the project. Xcode can find the code reference so auto complete it's working.

But again when I try to compile the app on the simulator I'm getting the same error...

This is how it looks in my project:

Just as note: this doesn't happen with the arm64 framework if I run it on a real device. The only thing that I had to do it was to disable Bitcode to the app config...

[e5l]

Could you show your build.gradle dependencies sections?

[vicmns]

Ok, I'm finally able to build the project on iOS. In the end I created a new iOS project and copy correctly the framework. I made a lot of changes so maybe I broke something in the way...

Thanks for the help!
