clang++ exited with code 1 when compiling for ios-simulator on arm64

[albyrock87]

Platform + Version iOS ARM64 Simulator (Mac M1...M3)

SDK Version 3.0.0.7965

Framework MAUI .NET 8

Describe the bug This is the same issue AppCenter library has: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-dotnet/issues/1755

When targeting iOS Simulator on MacBook M1 (arm64) there's no way to compile the project with Pendo included as package reference.

To Reproduce Using a MacBook M1..3 Create a MAUI project Embed Pendo as described in docs Compile targeting iOS Simulator.

Expected behavior Project builds.

@albyrock87 Ran into this same issue. Are you trying to compile with Rider? As a workaround, I can build/deploy to the iOS simulator with VS for Mac with the .NET 8 preview feature turned on.

This is not an issue with the pendo-maui package itself but rather the SDK build/deployment tooling.

[albyrock87]

Yes, I'm using Rider.. so do you think that this issue should be opened on JetBrains issue tracker?

This issue was initially opened in MAUI repo and they said it was AppCenter fault and not a MAUI SDK issue.

I think there's a lot of confusion around this.

[velocitysystems]

@albyrock87 I believe this is due to incomplete support for .NET 8 tooling in Rider. You may wish to raise this issue or add it to the already open ticket(s) with Jetbrains. However, I can confirm this is not an issue with MAUI, App Center or Pendo. It is a deployment issue with Rider.

[albyrock87]

Alright, I will proceed that way for now, thanks.

[albyrock87]

@velocitysystems I'll reopen the issue because this is not a problem with Rider: I can reproduce it using a standalone terminal

@albyrock87 We dont support .net8 yet, can u try to build with .net7 and see if u have the same error?

[albyrock87]

@MikePendo same error, with different text

I've tried using the sample Calculator project from here and adding a global.json + the <PackageReference Include="pendo-maui" Version="3.0.0.7965" />

{
  "sdk": {
    "version": "7.0.100",
    "rollForward": "latestFeature"
  }
}

dotnet --version
7.0.401

I think that this comment and this other comment explain what's happening.

[MikePendo]

@albyrock87 we have opened internal issue on our end: APP-93615 and we will look in to this issue soon

[MikePendo]

@albyrock87 I have looked at the run time environments here:rid-catalog and I didnt find yours iossimulator-arm64. The one that I did find is ios-arm64. (I saw yours in GitHub issues but not in the official docs). Maybe its only for devices and not for simulators but I believe it should also work in M1 (I might be wrong here) I have download the project and tried to build with that run time and it worked for me . I changed the project a little project snippets To allow only iOS with .net7 and run the following: dotnet build Calculator -r ios-arm64 Can it try on your side?

[albyrock87]

@MikePendo I will try, but as far as I know, this is the PR introducing that RID, and it appears to me it targets .NET6 release especially considering it's from March 2021. https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/49305

Apparently the documentation you linked is not up to date.

[albyrock87]

Actually look in this section: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog#known-rids

The following list shows a small subset of the most common RIDs used for each OS. For the latest and complete version, see the PortableRuntimeIdentifierGraph.json in the dotnet/sdk repository.

https://github.com/dotnet/sdk/blob/main/src/Layout/redist/PortableRuntimeIdentifierGraph.json

[MikePendo]

@albyrock87 Unfortunately my knowledge related to Xamarin/Maui is limited. I have opened an issue here: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/19406 Lets see what they can say, we will also discuss it internally

[velocitysystems]

@albyrock87 Rider 2023.3.1 has been released and references a fix for a related issue. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-76794/Cannot-deploy-MAUI-project-to-physical-iOS-device-because-of-RuntimeIdentifier

[cleardemon]

Would be nice to have a fix for this, especially since more will be updating to .NET 8 over time!

It seems having Pendo compile their DLL to use a proper .xcframework package that outputs for each architecture and configuration appropriately is the way to go (as discussed in the issue raised in the MAUI repo). There are various links on the Internet about moving from .framework to .xcframework: strava, fusion, apple.

Currently, the only workaround I can find for Pendo is to use Visual Studio for Mac (with .NET 8 support enabled in Preview Features), and forcing it to use iossimulator-x64 in the app csproj. Or, simply, removing Pendo entirely from the build. Neither of these workarounds are ideal.

In response to other comments above, Rider now works fine with .NET 8 since their recent update.

Also to reiterate, I am not observing this issue on actual iOS devices, it is purely an iOS Simulator issue. Developer quality of life is as important as end-users (we are end-users too! 😄)

[MikePendo]

@cleardemon We are working on it. @udilevin any progress about it?

[udilevin]

XCFramework support in MAUI will be part of our next release.

[albyrock87]

Thank you @udilevin , very much appreciated!

[MikePendo]

@albyrock87 @cleardemon @velocitysystems The issue should be resolved for MAUI I will close the issue, feel free to ping us

[shlomipendo]

FYI, The relevant version for this fix is 3.1.0

[albyrock87]

Thank you very much!
