Target of same name as package without having a product fails

[pswaminathan]

Example: Firebase

• Package name: Firebase
• Target name: Firebase

Firebase is not a product within the Firebase package. However, _gather_deps_for_target looks for the target name (Firebase) in pkg_descs_dict, finds it, and treats it as a product target (link)

@pswaminathan were you able to find a solution to resolve this issue and use Firebase in SPM rules?

[johndpope]

Would it be trivial to fork firebase - hack the package.swift file - and get this to work? I've wasted days on this.

Or could we hijack the script for firebase?

            # Look for the product in a package with the same name.
            ref_pkg_desc = pkg_descs_dict.get(by_name)
            if ref_pkg_desc != None:
                product_refs.append(refs.create(ref_types.product, ref_pkg_desc["name"], by_name))
                continue

if ref_pkg_desc == "firebase" then ....

I hacked this - https://github.com/wweevv-johndpope/firebase-ios-sdk.git

spm_repositories(
    name = "swift_pkgs",
    dependencies = [
        spm_pkg(
            "https://github.com/wweevv-johndpope/firebase-ios-sdk.git",
            from_version = "8.10.0",
            products = ["FirebaseAnalytics"],
        ),
    ],
)

swift_library(
    name = "main",
    module_name = "main",
    srcs = glob([
        "Sources/**/*.swift",
    ]),
    copts = [
        "-warnings-as-errors",
    ],
    deps = [
    "@swift_pkgs//FirebaseAnalytics:FirebaseAnalytics"
   ] 

changing Firebase -> FirebaseAnalytics

let package = Package(
  name: "FirebaseAnalytics",
  platforms: [.iOS(.v11), .macOS(.v10_12), .tvOS(.v12), .watchOS(.v7)],
  products: [
    .library(
      name: "FirebaseAnalytics",

this matches the product name FirebaseAnalytics - but doesn't help.

It looks like a modulemap in one of the transitive deps has some unexpected syntax. rules_spm uses a modulemap parser implemented in Starlark. Let me see if I can sort this out.

this just caught my eye https://medium.com/baracoda-engineering/build-an-ios-framework-for-distribution-with-bazel-838ace7444c8

by @Bodnar-Dan

not sure if this could be cause of headaches above.... https://github.com/Bodnar-Dan/bazel-poc/blob/master/ios/patch_ios_framework.sh

[johndpope]

finally found a working approach to using bazel and firebase

@vikage got it working successfully - here https://thanhvu.dev/2022/04/16/migrating-ios-project-to-bazel-part-6-tich-hop-firebase-crashlytics/

demo app https://github.com/vikage/DemoBazel/blob/firebase/Thirdparty/Firebase/BUILD

going to abandon the spm / xcframework approach for now.
