I’m trying to build a mpp project with an iosX64 target but I’m receiving an error like this one:

Bundle at path /Users/myUser/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/DEVICE_NUMBER/data/Library/Caches/com.apple.mobile.installd.staging/temp.UblNHF/extracted/iosApp.app/Frameworks/main.framework did not have a CFBundleIdentifier in its Info.plist

I did a research about this and they say this is related with a cocoapods gem, but I’m not really using something like this, the project, for now, is really simple, just some kind of a hello world.

After a lot of attempts I was able to use iPhone 8 but not iPhone Xr (but even with iPhone 8 it doesn’t work always).

Does someone know why this happens?

PS.: I’m using outputKinds("framework") in my build.gradle.kts

[ilya.matveev]

Am I missing some configuration on my build.gradle.kts?

It doesn't look so. Could you please provide a link to your project? A compilation log would be helpful too. To get it, just run the Gradle build with -i flag.

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

Could you show us the entire Info.plist, please?

[GarouDan]

Hi @ilya.matveev and @Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB], thanks in advance for your time.

I was able to confirm that this is happening after I’ve upgraded my XCode version to the latest one (10.2 (10E125)).

For example, this project of mine was working ok but now it is giving the same error:

https://github.com/Danilo-Araujo-Silva/kotlin-multiplatform-android-ios-example

and as you can see in this issue

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-29804

I’ve shared this repository to show a working solution for the problem that I’ve found.

In the beginning I was thinking the problem was related with the new project that I’m working on, but now it seems to be happening in general.

[GarouDan]

Here is a photo of my Info.plist inside of my main.framework.

My build is passing ok and all steps of the build process is working, it is only failing when I’m trying to reach the simulator

[GarouDan]

The compilation log with the parameter -i is this one:

compilation.log

[GarouDan]

Should I create an issue for this?

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

If only to Apple 🙂 The problem here is that starting from version 10.2 Xcode replaces the Info.plist with a dummy one during the copying/codesigning phases. You can add a proper Info.plist to your Xcode project, and this should solve the problem.

For an example you can take a look at the project generated by the K/N plugin for AppCode.

[GarouDan]

Hum, I see. Can you share with me the link of this plugin?

I took a photo about the Info.plist configuration because the file was in a binary mode, can this affect me somehow?

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

No, binary format is fine. The plugin is available in the repository: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10619-kotlin-native-for-appcode

[GarouDan]

Can I use this plugin with IntelliJ Ultimate? Or it is only compatible with AppCode?

If is not compatible, do you have another repository, maybe something on github, that shows how could I do that?

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

Here is a project that was generated from a template.

AppWithFramework.zip

[GarouDan]

Thanks a lot

I’ll take a look 😃

[GarouDan]

@Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB], this project that you gave is working fine. Thanks 😃

In the other hand, I’m trying to use a Swift project created by AppCode but I’m receiving the following error:

No such module 'KotlinNativeFramework'

Do you have any idea what could cause this?

This error occurs when trying to compile the Swift files

@sunbreak could you provide more details on “New #multiplatform project in IDEA(2019.1)“? It works for me.

[Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB]]

@GarouDan @sunbreak Please make sure that you click on the "Import Gradle Project" notification when opening the project in AppCode.

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

@sunbreak Thank you, confirmed.

[sunbreak]

@svyatoslav.scherbina is there any work around before fix?

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

Yes.
1. Add Info.plist to your app directory with contents like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "<http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd>">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
    <string>$(DEVELOPMENT_LANGUAGE)</string>
    <key>CFBundleExecutable</key>
    <string>$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)</string>
    <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
    <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string>
    <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key>
    <string>6.0</string>
    <key>CFBundleName</key>
    <string>$(PRODUCT_NAME)</string>
    <key>CFBundlePackageType</key>
    <string>FMWK</string>
    <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
    <string>1.0</string>
    <key>CFBundleVersion</key>
    <string>$(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)</string>
</dict>
</plist>

2. Select iosApp on the left pane in Xcode, then select app under “TARGETS”, switch to “Build Settings” tab, look for “Packinging” section under it. Locate “Info.plist file”, it should have empty value. Change it to $(SRCROOT)/../app/Info.plist.

@svyatoslav.scherbina Thanks a lot👍

@Vyacheslav Karpukhin [JB] I retry several times and am unable to reproduce the Kotlin/Native problem. Thank you all the same😀
