Installation using Carthage doesn't work.

[laxmorek]

Hi 👋

Short description

I would like to add the MuxStatsSDK to my project using Carthage. I updated my Cartfile following documentation but installation fails when I run the carthage update command.

Env

• Xcode - Version 13.1
• macOS - 12.0.1 (Monterey)
• mux-stats-sdk-avplayer - 2.6.0
• Carthage - 0.38.0
• Carthage command:

  carthage update --platform iOS,tvOS --use-xcframeworks --no-use-binaries --use-netrc --cache-builds --new-resolver

• Cartage output (real paths has been hidden behind [PATH]):

  
  *** Building scheme "MUXSDKStatsTv" in MUXSDKStats.xcodeproj
  Build Failed
  Task failed with exit code 65:
  /usr/bin/xcrun xcodebuild -project [PATH]/Carthage/Checkouts/mux-stats-sdk-avplayer/MUXSDKStats/MUXSDKStats.xcodeproj -scheme MUXSDKStatsTv -configuration Release -derivedDataPath [PATH]/Library/Caches/org.carthage.CarthageKit/DerivedData/13.1_13A1030d/mux-stats-sdk-avplayer/v2.6.0 -sdk appletvos ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO CODE_SIGNING_REQUIRED=NO CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY= CARTHAGE=YES archive VALIDATE_WORKSPACE=NO -archivePath /var/folders/6q/ytvfydhj50d9jnbk76_zcq580000gp/T/mux-stats-sdk-avplayer SKIP_INSTALL=YES GCC_INSTRUMENT_PROGRAM_FLOW_ARCS=NO CLANG_ENABLE_CODE_COVERAGE=NO STRIP_INSTALLED_PRODUCT=NO (launched in [PATH]/Carthage/Checkouts/mux-stats-sdk-avplayer)

This usually indicates that project itself failed to compile. Please check the xcodebuild log for more details: /var/folders/6q/ytvfydhj50d9jnbk76_zcq580000gp/T/carthage-xcodebuild.SZZ0wZ.log

### Expected behavior 

I should be able to install the `MuxStatsSDK` using the `Carthage`.

It still occurs in 2.8.0.

It still occurs in 2.9.0.

Hi @laxmorek! Thanks for reporting this issue and trying out the new release. If you use the binary specification in your Cartfile, does it work for you?

binary "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muxinc/mux-stats-sdk-avplayer/master/MUXSDKStats.json"
binary "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muxinc/stats-sdk-objc/master/MUXCore.json"

Hey @nidhik 👋 thanks for your answer.

If you use the binary specification in your Cartfile, does it work for you?

Yes it works! 🎉

Is it a preferable way to install MUX using Carthage?

• If so we can close this issue. (PS. I would suggest updating docs here)
• If you will be working on github "muxinc/stats-sdk-objc" ~> 3.5.0 approach then lets keep this issue.

@laxmorek great news! Yes, this will be the preferred way to install the Mux SDKs with Carthage going forward. I am working on the documentation updates and will keep this issue open until we have updated our official docs. Thank you!

Closing now that the documentation has been updated with the preferred way to install using Carthage: https://docs.mux.com/guides/data/monitor-avplayer#installing-manually-with-carthage-not-recommended
