We're having issues with building a shared framework:
Both watchos-armv7k and watchos-arm64_32 represent two equivalent library definitions.
We're building the framework like this:

xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
-framework ios/build/xcode-frameworks/iosArm64/SharedCode.framework \
-framework ios/build/xcode-frameworks/iosX64/SharedCode.framework \
-framework ios/build/xcode-frameworks/watchosArm64/SharedCode.framework \
-framework ios/build/xcode-frameworks/watchosX86/SharedCode.framework \
-framework ios/build/xcode-frameworks/watchosArm32/SharedCode.framework \
-output "$XCFRAMEWORK_DESTINATION_DIR"/SharedCode.xcframework

Did someone manage to get arm32 and arm64 working together for kotlin native on ios / watchos?

@Paul Woitaschek Can you try making a XCFramework with this project? https://github.com/ge-org/multiplatform-swiftpackage

[Kai Limadjaja]

@louiscad what Platforms are you targeting with the ``watchOS { v("xxx") }`` shortcut in your configuration DSL?

[louiscad]

@Kai Limadjaja I didn't use it for a watchOS project yet, but it worked nice for iOS x64 + iOS arm64

[Kai Limadjaja]

It looks promising. Could you point me to the file in the project where the actual build is assembled from the DSL config?

[Paul Woitaschek]

Thats the same:
Both watchos-arm64_32 and watchos-armv7k represent two equivalent library definitions.

@sergey.bogolepov
You wrote something about changing it in the ide, but it doesn’t build in the first place

[sergey.bogolepov]

IDK, your error is different from the one from the issue. What are your Xcode and kotlin version?

[Paul Woitaschek]

It's kotlin 1.4.20 and Xcode 12.2

[Paul Woitaschek]

@sergey.bogolepov
I created a quick demo:
https://github.com/PaulWoitaschek/mpp-ios-android/commit/0a1fc0fee388dae9deeaf285834d5566621918c9

[Paul Woitaschek]

Just run ./bug.sh

[Paul Woitaschek]

Then you’ll get the error as above:
Both watchos-arm64_32 and watchos-armv7k represent two equivalent library definitions.

[sergey.bogolepov]

Thanks, I'll see what I can do!

[sergey.bogolepov]

It looks like a bug in xcodebuild -create-xcframework.
What worked for me is creation of a fat framework from watchosArm32 and watchosArm64 and then adding it to xcframework instead of separate ones.
Yeah, it is opposite to xcframework's motivation (moving away from fat frameworks), but there is neither documentation nor official answers on Apple developer forum, so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Paul Woitaschek]

Hm it's not showing up on a arm32 watch :(

[Paul Woitaschek]

We tested it on a watch series 3

[Paul Woitaschek]

@sergey.bogolepov do you have any link for an upstream bug? Due to this we have hit the 75mb limit

[louiscad]

What limit are you referring to?

[Paul Woitaschek]

Watch apps can't be larger than 75mb

[louiscad]

Per architecture?

[louiscad]

Or did you actual get some rejection from the App Store?

[Paul Woitaschek]

The latter

[Paul Woitaschek]

ITMS-90389: Size Limit Exceeded - The size of watch application '/Payload/YAZIO.app/Watch/watchOS.app' (75MB) has exceeded the 75MB size limit.

I don't fully understand the iOS structure, and if this is really caused by fat frameworks

[louiscad]

Built in release mode?

[Paul Woitaschek]

Yep

[sergey.bogolepov]

do you have any link for an upstream bug?

Unfortunately, no.
