Hello, is it possible to have .dSYM for static frameworks? I am asking because when ios app crashes with kotlin native library, stack trace does not have anything useful. I have this from the symbolication documentation, but this only works with dynamic frameworks

targets.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinNativeTarget> {
        binaries.all {
            freeCompilerArgs += "-Xadd-light-debug=enable"
        }
    }

I am using sqldelight library with sqlcipher, and if library is static i do not need to link lsqlcipher manually, otherwise if library is dynamic i need to link with either lsqlite3 or lsqlcipher, but somehow it does not work and compiler complains that it cannot find lsqlcipher . I have added sqlcipher as cocoapod

cocoapods {
        this.ios.deploymentTarget = "13.0"
        // Configure fields required by CocoaPods.
        summary = "Secoris core"
        homepage = "<https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin>"

        // You can change the name of the produced framework.
        // By default, it is the name of the Gradle project.
        frameworkName = binaryBaseName

        pod("SQLCipher", "~> 4.4")
    }

linking is done like this

targets
       .flatMap { it.compilations }
        .filterIsInstance<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinNativeCompilation>()
        .forEach { compilationUnit ->
            compilationUnit.kotlinOptions.freeCompilerArgs += arrayOf("-linker-options", "-lsqlcipher")
       }

but this gives following error ld: library not found for -lsqlcipher . So in conclusion i am able to have encrypted database with sqlcipher if i use static library, with no linking needed, but then there is no .dSYM for crash stack traces, or i can have .dSYM with dynamic framework, but then sqldelight links to lsqlite3 and there is no encryption.

If you don't mind me asking, how did you make your framework static? I'm having the same linking issue with SQLCipher but I couldn't solve it.

@Simonas Brazauskas could you give me a hint?

[Simonas Brazauskas]

targets.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.KotlinNativeTarget> {
    binaries.withType<org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.Framework> {
        isStatic = true
    }
}

@Simonas Brazauskas thank you, I tried that, but unfortunately I keep getting syntax error in "PRAGMA key = ?;" . Did you encounter anything like this?

[Simonas Brazauskas]

sqliter-driver version must be atleast 1.0.3
add this to ios dependencies

implementation("co.touchlab:sqliter-driver:1.0.3") {
                    version {
                        strictly("1.0.3")
                    }
                }

com.squareup.sqldelight:native-driver:1.5.0

depends on sqliter which has a bug

[matej]

@Simonas Brazauskas thanks again, I will give it a shot!

[matej]

@Simonas Brazauskas it works now, thank you very much co.touchlab:sqliter-driver:1.0.3 was the missing piece!

[matej]

Let's see if I can repay the favor 🙂

Have you tried to change your linker settings in Xcode? One issue I had was that other libraries (Firebase) were linking the default sqlite3 before SQLCipher

[matej]

I solved it by adding -framework "SQLCipher" to the project level linker flags, then for my main target's linker flags, I added $(inherited) and removed -framework "SQLCipher" , because the inheritance will already add it in first place.

[matej]

In the Xcode UI, -framework "SQLCipher" should be added as two separate lines, -framework and then "SQLCipher"

thanks, i will try it out 😉
