Hey! I am trying to use clustering in my GoogleMap...

# ios

[Enol Simón]

Hey! I am trying to use clustering in my GoogleMaps screen and for that I need to install Google-Maps-iOS-Utils . I am using CocoaPods to be able to use the code in my Kotlin files. For GoogleMaps it works fine, but when I try to add the Google-Maps-iOS-Utils pod, I am getting errors. (I continue in thread)

[Enol Simón]

1) The first problem is the version, the latest version (v6.0.0) requires GoogleMaps 9.0, and for some reason, my project can only install the version 8.0.0, if I try to install the GoogleMaps pod with higher version (8.3.0, 8.3.1, 8.4.0, 9.0.0, 9.1.0 and 9.1.1 ) I get this error when I try to build in XCode:

Showing All Errors Only
Failed to load XCFramework at '/Users/user/myproject/iosApp/Pods/GoogleMaps/Base/Frameworks/GoogleMapsBase.xcframework': 'HeadersPath' is not supported for a 'framework' in library 'ios-arm64'.

2) As I have to stay in the version 8.0.0 , the latest version compatible of Google-Maps-iOS-Utils is v5.0.0. So I add in my `Podfile`:

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
platform :ios, '16.0'

target 'iosApp' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks! :linkage => :static

  # Pods for iosApp
  pod 'shared', :path => '../shared'
  pod 'GoogleMaps', '8.0.0'
  pod 'Google-Maps-iOS-Utils', '5.0.0'
end

And in my build.gradle

cocoapods {
        summary = "Some description for the Shared Module"
        homepage = "Link to the Shared Module homepage"
        version = "1.0"
        ios.deploymentTarget = "16.0"
        podfile = project.file("../iosApp/Podfile")
        framework {
            baseName = "shared"
            isStatic = true
        }
        pod("GoogleMaps") {
            extraOpts += listOf("-compiler-option", "-fmodules")
        }
        pod("Google-Maps-iOS-Utils") {
            extraOpts += listOf("-compiler-option", "-fmodules")
        }
    }

I get the following errors when syncing the project (attached images). And when running in Xcode, everything looks to work fine until it gets the step:

Did somebody of you guys faced this issue or understands what is going on? Just as information I am using Macbook Pro M3 (i mention it beause of the arm-64 thing. Kotlin 2.0.21-RC

Thanks in advance!

Which cocoapods version do you use?
you shouldn’t include the pods inside gradle and the podfile, only the gradle is enough

[François]

you can specify the version of the pods in the gradle

[Enol Simón]

I am using 1.15.2 of cocoa pods, before i was defining the version also in the gradle, I removed it to use the Podfile, all the totorials I saw where using the Podfile too, so I can remove it and it is supposed to work?

[François]

There is a bug
I got the error :
:shared:appleMain: cinterop file: /.../shared/build/classes/kotlin/iosSimulatorArm64/main/cinterop/shared-cinterop-Google_Maps_iOS_Utils.klib does not exist

But the name of shared-cinterop-Google_Maps_iOS_Utils.klib doesn’t exist. The generated is shared-cinterop-GoogleMaps.klib, so It can’t work!

[François]

I guess, the - in the pod name is an issue here 😄

[Enol Simón]

I don't know why, I was thinking about this and I had the feeling that it was something related with the name and this damned symbol, I don't even understand why to cal it like that instead of GoogleMapsUtils or similar

[Enol Simón]

But it is as it is https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-ios-utils

[François]

I’m looking for a solution 🙂

[François]

Cocoapods and xcode16 are currently not best friend.
I can’t just do a pod init with xcode 16...
Cocoapods is really in maintenance mode and fixing issues are really slow...

[Enol Simón]

This is what it generates to me

[Enol Simón]

And the error in Xcode: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: /var/folders/qn/1f2__ymn7rx9382fc4hcxqth0000gn/T/15385898055862265727.m:1:9: fatal error: module 'Google_Maps_iOS_Utils' not found

[Enol Simón]

It really looks it can be because the difference between Google_Maps_iOS_Utils and Google-Maps-iOS-Utils

[François]

@Enol Simón found it!

pod("Google-Maps-iOS-Utils") {
    version = "~> 6.0.0"
    extraOpts += listOf("-compiler-option", "-fmodules")
    moduleName = "GoogleMapsUtils"
}

[François]

The pod name “Google-Maps-iOS-Utils” doesn’t match with the moduleName “GoogleMapsUtils”.
Cinterop can’t work like that. No ***** error about it on the output.

[François]

Then, don’t add this library inside your Podfile, the gradle is enough. You can call the libs from the swift code if you want.

[Enol Simón]

Man I don't know where you leave, but i will take a plane and invite you to a beer wherever it is. Thank you very much for your help, I would never do it by myself. @François

[Jim Juma]

Hello @François, @Enol Simón, been stuck on this for days. would you happen to have the map setup on some public project I can look at?

[Enol Simón]

I'm sorry but my repository is private, however you can write me a PM, or write your specific problem in this thread, I can try to help you
