OpenSSL not found in the linked frameworks

[paulosilva8]

I used to have a private repo with openSSL and distribute it using cocoapods. We are moving to SPM, so I found your repo and integrated it successfully thus far. However, one embedded library in our app is also requesting openSSL to build and I am getting the following error:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/openssl.framework/openssl Referenced from: .../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/ffmpeg.framework/ffmpeg Reason: image not found dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

It seems the SPM integration provided with openSSL is a library (not dynamic?) and the framework is either placed in a different folder with SPM or has a different name?

Looks like issue happens because of an older version of ruby gem used by cocoapods, updating the cocoapods does not update some dependencies. So the steps I performed to resolve this are :

1. Uninstall ruby gems sudo gem uninstall --all
2. Remove workspace project, delete Podfile.lock
3. Deleted the pods directory
4. Install cocoapods sudo gem install cocoapods
5. Run pod install

It must be some other problem as this didn't help to fix the issue. Thanks

I had also this issue on another project with SPM. I guess you, @paulosilva8, have a structure like this:

App
---> Embed Custom Framework
--------> Custom Framework embed OpenSSL via SPM

If the assumption is right what I did is:

App
---> Embed Custom Framework **+ OpenSSL via SPM** (*)
--------> Custom Framework embed OpenSSL via SPM (*)

(*)using the same version for the App and the Custom Framework

Why?

• SPM generates a sort of static lib
• OpenSSL is a xcframework So you need to embed the xcframework in the App level.

Maybe @krzyzanowskim an attempt could be

targets: [
        .binaryTarget(
            name: "OpenSSL",
            url: "<OpenSSL-URL>",
            checksum: "<OpenSSL-Checksum>"
        )
    ]

instead of

targets: [
        .binaryTarget(
            name: "OpenSSL",
            path: "Frameworks/OpenSSL.xcframework"
        )
    ]

Have a nice evening!

Problem with this approach is only that the embed framework is managed by another company. I have requested a new binary to point to the correct framework and yes, it should fix the issue

        url: "<OpenSSL-URL>",
       checksum: "<OpenSSL-Checksum>"

Xcode is (was) quite broken when it comes to downloadable SPM artifacts last time I checked
