Cordova iOS Build with Salesforce SDK 10.2.0 is failing on Xcode 14

[sinothomasAppno]

Legacy build option was used with 13.4 for build to pass. After updating Xcode from 13.4 to 14.0.1.

This is related to https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-CordovaPlugin/issues/577

cordova build ios is throwing Error:

iOS build only throws this error when SalesforceMobileSDK-CordovaPlugin is added. Without it build is passing.

Are you generating your application with forcehybrid?

[sinothomasAppno]

yes @wmathurin, project was created with forcehybrid.

We found the cause of this error. The cause of this issue is that the generated platforms/ios/podfile is different when given target platform ios vs ios,android during forcehybrid create prompt Enter the target platform(s) separated by commas (ios, android):

when project created with target platform is ios, Podfile contains

# DO NOT MODIFY -- auto-generated by Apache Cordova
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org'
platform :ios, '14.0'

target 'forcehybrid_Local_ios' do
    project 'forcehybrid_Local_ios.xcodeproj'
    pod 'SalesforceHybridSDK', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS-Hybrid'
    pod 'MobileSync', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'SmartStore', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'FMDB/SQLCipher', :tag => '2.7.5', :git => 'https://github.com/ccgus/fmdb'
    pod 'SQLCipher', :tag => 'v4.5.2', :git => 'https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher'
    pod 'SalesforceSDKCore', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'SalesforceAnalytics', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'SalesforceSDKCommon', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'Cordova', :tag => '6.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios'
end

$dynamic_framework = ['SalesforceAnalytics', 'SalesforceSDKCore', 'SalesforceSDKCommon', 'SmartStore', 'FMDB', 'SQLCipher', 'MobileSync']
pre_install do |installer|
  installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
    if $dynamic_framework.include?(pod.name)
      def pod.build_type
        Pod::BuildType.dynamic_framework
      end
    end
  end
end

Where as, when project created with target platform is ios,android, Podfile is different

# DO NOT MODIFY -- auto-generated by Apache Cordova
source 'https://cdn.cocoapods.org'
platform :ios, '14.0'
use_frameworks!
target 'forcehybird_Local_ios_android' do
    project 'forcehybird_Local_ios_android.xcodeproj'
    pod 'SalesforceHybridSDK', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS-Hybrid'
    pod 'MobileSync', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'SmartStore', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'FMDB/SQLCipher', :tag => '2.7.5', :git => 'https://github.com/ccgus/fmdb'
    pod 'SQLCipher', :tag => 'v4.5.2', :git => 'https://github.com/sqlcipher/sqlcipher'
    pod 'SalesforceSDKCore', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'SalesforceAnalytics', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'SalesforceSDKCommon', :tag => 'v10.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS'
    pod 'Cordova', :tag => '6.2.0', :git => 'https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios'
end

After using Podfile generated with target platform is ios. Xcode build is passing, but cordova build ios is falling with error:

The first podfile is the right one. We will investigate why the generated pod file are different. For now could you edit your podfile. Make sure to remove the line

use_frameworks!

And add the following at the end

$dynamic_framework = ['SalesforceAnalytics', 'SalesforceSDKCore', 'SalesforceSDKCommon', 'SmartStore', 'FMDB', 'SQLCipher', 'MobileSync']
pre_install do |installer|
  installer.pod_targets.each do |pod|
    if $dynamic_framework.include?(pod.name)
      def pod.build_type
        Pod::BuildType.dynamic_framework
      end
    end
  end
end

The fix for forcehybrid will be in the next release (see https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-Package/pull/272). The problem is that that when doing platform=ios,android the post-install fixes to the ios project were not happening.

One thing you could do for now is run forcehybrid twice, once for ios and once for android and then merge the two (basically copy platforms/ios under platforms of the other one or vice-versa).
