Hey I’m having a weird issue when building iOS regarding Kotlin Coroutines coming from Kotlin stdlib and a ksp task.
I cannot find information out there, it seems to be a very unique error.
Error in 🧵

Does anyone know what would cause a build in Xcode Cloud to fail only there? Building the app and executing archive locally works fine 🤔

Kotlin: 2.1.20
ksp: 2.1.20-2.0.1 (tried minor versions)
I have:
• Kmp nativecoroutines plugin applied
• I don’t have coroutines-core dependency, I tried adding it to see if that solves it but didn’t.

XTypeName looks like it might come from room’s compiler-processing

[robercoding]

You’re right, I’ve checked now and it seems to be a room thing.
I’m using latest room/sqlite versions
room: 2.7.1
sqlite: 2.5.1

Sharing buildscript of how room is applied:

plugins {
    alias(libs.plugins.room)
}

room {
    schemaDirectory("$projectDir/schemas")
}

androidMain.dependencies {
    implementation(libs.room.runtime.android)
}

commonMain.dependencies {
    implementation(libs.room.runtime)
    implementation(libs.sqlite.bundled)
    implementation(libs.sqlite.ktx)
}

dependencies {
    add("kspCommonMainMetadata", libs.room.compiler)
    add("kspAndroid", libs.room.compiler)
    add("kspIosSimulatorArm64", libs.room.compiler)
    add("kspIosX64", libs.room.compiler)
    add("kspIosArm64", libs.room.compiler)
}

I don’t see any strange configuration 🤔

[robercoding]

Added info level to gradle

Probably got a winner, either KMPNativeCoroutines or Room

I still wonder why it only fails in XCode cloud and not locally when doing archive .
It’s quite strange… 🤔

https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/androidx.room/room-compiler/2.7.1
I see room compiler is using 2.0.10-1.0.24 KSP version


TOML: https://github.com/androidx/androidx/blob/androidx-main/gradle/libs.versions.toml#L241
Room compiler ksp api dep: https://github.com/androidx/androidx/blob/androidx-main/room/room-compiler/build.gradle#L66

I’ll wait for a new room version using the kotlin/ksp that I’m using and see if that solves it

Hi,
Did you manage to solve this? I faced today exactly the same issue. Locally it builds fine, but it does fail on our CI setup though.

[whiter13]

Just to let you know and someone else in the future it looks like downgrading KSP to the exact same version as room uses fixed the problem and now the build passes as expected in our case.
