All shipped frameworks break iOS Simulator builds on Apple Silicon (M1 macs).

Describe the solution you'd like. | 描述你期望的解决方案。

I want to be able to run apps with Bytedance SDKs in iOS simulator on M1 macs. XCFrameworks are required to include the arm64 slice for iOS devices and the macOS simulator for Macs running on Apple silicon.

Additional context | 额外信息

Migration process:

1) Recompile libraries as XCFrameworks with arm64-simulator slice. 2) Remove deprecated EXCLUDED_ARCHS[1] and VALID_ARCHS[2] build configuration overrides from podspecs (remove all uses of spec.pod_target_xcconfig and spec.user_target_xcconfig).

Simplified example of building framework target as XCFramework:

# archive framework for device targets
xcodebuild archive -project 'Project.xcodeproj' -scheme 'FrameworkDemo' -configuration Release -destination 'generic/platform=iOS' -archivePath 'archive/FrameworkDemo-iphoneos.xcarchive' SKIP_INSTALL=NO BUILD_LIBRARIES_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES

# archive framework for simulator targets (code signing not required)
xcodebuild archive -project 'Project.xcodeproj' -scheme 'FrameworkDemo' -configuration Release -destination 'generic/platform=iOS Simulator' -archivePath 'archive/FrameworkDemo-iphonesimulator.xcarchive' SKIP_INSTALL=NO BUILD_LIBRARIES_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY="" CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS="" CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED="NO"

# build XCFramework
xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
-framework archive/FrameworkDemo-iphoneos.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/FrameworkDemo.framework \
-framework archive/FrameworkDemo-iphonesimulator.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/FrameworkDemo.framework \
-output archive/FrameworkDemo.xcframework

  "Only use the EXCLUDED_ARCHS build setting on targets where the final released app is not using the target’s functionality on a specific architecture, such as a Mac app that only supports a legacy feature on Intel-based Mac computers ... Do not use EXCLUDED_ARCHS with pre-compiled libraries that are not updated with support for the iOS, watchOS, or tvOS simulators on Apple silicon."

M1 has been out almost 2 years now, we need XCFramework to support it.

Any update on this? If you don't have an Apple Silicon Mac to compile the .xcframework there are now even cloud services you can use. It just needs compiling as an .xcframework and then we can use it.

[xoridius]

We just dropped the SDK ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This issue also affects the implementation of other frameworks. We hope this issue will be resolved soon.

Please prioritize this issue. The development experience with the bytedance SDK on Apple Silicon Macs is unbearable.

Looks like xcframework including arm64 simulator is finally supported since 5.1.0.6.

Thank you for your feed back. We have supported xcframework including arm64 simulator since 5.1.0.0.
