Xcode 13 - Dependencies.swift - bitcode not enabled for dependency error

[zdnk]

Describe the bug When generating project with SPM dependencies in Dependencies.swift, and using Apollo and opening generated workspace in Xcode 13, the build fails because Apollo is not built with bitcode, I checked the Tuist generated Apollo project build settings and bitcode is enabled.

It works fine in Xcode 12!

Example project: https://github.com/zdnk/tuist-apollo-dependency-example

It only occurs when:

• building with Xcode 13
• building for device or archiving
• the Apollo dependency is linked in framework which is linked in the app

Last tested on Tuist 2.0.2, Xcode 13

UPDATE: seems to happening for any dependency linked to framework which is then linked to app.

To Reproduce Project.swift

import ProjectDescription

let baseSettings = SettingsDictionary()
    .bitcodeEnabled(true)

let project = Project(
    name: "TuistApollo",
    settings: .settings(base: baseSettings),
    targets: [
        // App
        .init(
            name: "App",
            platform: .iOS,
            product: .app,
            productName: "TuistApollo",
            bundleId: "com.TuistApollo.application",
            deploymentTarget: .iOS(targetVersion: "14.0", devices: .iphone),
            infoPlist: .default,
            sources: [
                "Targets/TuistApollo/Sources/*.swift",
            ],
            dependencies: [
                .external(name: "Apollo"),
                .target(name: "API"),
            ]
        ),

        .init(
            name: "API",
            platform: .iOS,
            product: .framework,
            productName: "API",
            bundleId: "com.TuistApollo.api",
            deploymentTarget: .iOS(targetVersion: "14.0", devices: .iphone),
            infoPlist: .default,
            sources: [
                "Targets/TuistAPI/Sources/*.swift",
            ],
            dependencies: [
                .external(name: "Apollo"),
            ]
        ),

    ]
)

Dependencies.swift

import ProjectDescription

let dependencies = Dependencies(
    swiftPackageManager: [
        .remote(url: "https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios.git", requirement: .upToNextMajor(from: "0.43.0")),
    ],
    platforms: [.iOS]
)

Generate the project/workspace:

tuist dependencies fetch

tuist generate

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Tuist: 1.51.1
• OS: macOS Monterey
• Version 12.0 Beta (21A5506j)

[zdnk]

any pointer where/what is the issue?

[zdnk]

same on 2.0.1

[danieleformichelli]

Hey @zdnk 👋 Could you please attach a sample project to reproduce the issue (e.g. as done here)?

[zdnk]

I am unable to reproduce it in clean project :/ No idea what the issue is.

[zdnk]

Figured it out, it only occurs when:

1. bullding for device or archiving
2. the Apollo dependency is linked in framework which is linked in the app

import ProjectDescription

let baseSettings = SettingsDictionary()
    .bitcodeEnabled(true)

let project = Project(
    name: "TuistApollo",
    settings: .settings(base: baseSettings),
    targets: [
        // App
        .init(
            name: "App",
            platform: .iOS,
            product: .app,
            productName: "TuistApollo",
            bundleId: "com.TuistApollo.application",
            deploymentTarget: .iOS(targetVersion: "14.0", devices: .iphone),
            infoPlist: .default,
            sources: [
                "Targets/TuistApollo/Sources/*.swift",
            ],
            dependencies: [
                .external(name: "Apollo"),
                .target(name: "API"),
            ]
        ),

        .init(
            name: "API",
            platform: .iOS,
            product: .framework,
            productName: "API",
            bundleId: "com.TuistApollo.api",
            deploymentTarget: .iOS(targetVersion: "14.0", devices: .iphone),
            infoPlist: .default,
            sources: [
                "Targets/TuistAPI/Sources/*.swift",
            ],
            dependencies: [
                .external(name: "Apollo"),
            ]
        ),

    ]
)

here is the whole example project: https://github.com/zdnk/tuist-apollo-dependency-example

@zdnk could you update the first message with:

• link to sample project
• last Tuist version you have replicated the issue on
• exact steps to reproduce it

[zdnk]

Done, hope thats enough.

[zdnk]

UPDATE: seems to happening for any dependency linked to framework which is then linked to app.

[zdnk]

Any idea what's causing this? I had to revert back to using packages in Project.swift

[danieleformichelli]

I think the problem is the .bitcodeEnabled(true) setting. I think that in order to enable bitcode in your target, all its dependencies needs to have bitcode enabled as well. Not sure if/how tuist is handling it at the moment (regardless of the SPM dependencies integration), maybe @kwridan, @pepibumur, or @fortmarek knows more 🙏

[zdnk]

Well, as I mentioned, I check the projects generated for SPM dependencies and they actually have Bitcode enabled, so I don't know what is the issue.

[marciliojrs]

I'm having the same issue. Everything working when building for simulators but I'm getting the same message for device builds.

[thedavidharris]

Try flipping ENABLE_TESTING_SEARCH_PATHS = YES in any of the xcodeproj files for a converted SPM module to NO as I believe that will fix it.

[marciliojrs]

@thedavidharris there's a way to do that through Dependencies.swift file?

[zdnk]

version 2.1.0 or newer using tuist generate just outputs

Using version 2.1.1 defined at /ios-app/.tuist-version

And thats it, nothing is generated.

Using 2.0.0:

Couldn't find target 'CSQLite' at '/Tuist/Dependencies/SwiftPackageManager/.build/checkouts/GRDB.swift' Consider creating an issue using the following link: https://github.com/tuist/tuist/issues/new/choose

@thedavidharris After moving GRDB back to packages in Project.swift this workaround works with 2.1.1 :) Now does this break anything else, why is it causing this issue and how to fix it?

[wattson12]

Now does this break anything else, why is it causing this issue and how to fix it?

I'm interested if this breaks anything, but I've added a PR which adds this change for all SPM packages to help test https://github.com/tuist/tuist/pull/3653

[zdnk]

after checking with Tuist 2.3.0, the issue when running tuist generate and it does not do anything when GRDB (https://github.com/zdnk/GRDB.swift) is in Dependencies.swift as SPM package is stil there.

[zdnk]

also, Tuist/Dependencies/SwiftPackageManager is empty

[danieleformichelli]

@zdnk this looks like a different error wrt the original one, could you please open a separate issue and provide all the required information? 🙏
