Hi, I have a multi-module application where

:core

behaves like an umbrella, And I would like to create a separate module just with analytics. But While I run gradle task

assembleXCFramework

I’m receiving this error:

output:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
 "_OBJC_CLASS_$_FIRCrashlytics", referenced from:
   objc-class-ref in result.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64

Also extra information is printed into the console with this information:

> Task :core:linkDebugFrameworkIosArm64
w: Following libraries are specified to be exported with -Xexport-library, but not included to the build:
/Users/ynsok/AndroidStudioProjects/kmm-project/monitoring/build/libs/iosArm64/main/monitoring-cinterop-FirebaseCrashlytics.klib

Here is partial setup

build.gradle.kts

for

:monitoring

module

val xcf = XCFramework()
    listOf(
        iosX64(),
        iosArm64(),
        iosSimulatorArm64()
    ).forEach {
        it.binaries.framework {
            baseName = Module.Monitoring.simpleName
            xcf.add(this)
        }
    }

    cocoapods {
        summary = "This module contains implementation of analytics and crashlytics"
        name = Module.Monitoring.simpleName
        ios.deploymentTarget = application.IOSConfig.deployment_target
        version = application.IOSConfig.cocoapods_version
        homepage = application.IOSConfig.cocoapods_homepage
        license = application.IOSConfig.cocoapods_license

        framework {
            baseName = Module.Monitoring.simpleName
            embedBitcode = org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.mpp.BitcodeEmbeddingMode.DISABLE
        }
        pod("FirebaseCrashlytics")
        podfile = project.file("../iosApp/Podfile")
    }

Here is partial setup

build.gradle.kts

for

:core

module

val xcf = XCFramework()
listOf(
    iosX64(),
    iosArm64(),
    iosSimulatorArm64()

    it.binaries.framework {
        baseName = Module.Core.simpleName
        export(project(Module.Monitoring.dependencyName))
        xcf.add(this)
    }
}

cocoapods {
    summary = "The module contains core business logic for Pismo application"
    name = Module.Core.simpleName
    ios.deploymentTarget = application.IOSConfig.deployment_target
    version = application.IOSConfig.cocoapods_version
    homepage = application.IOSConfig.cocoapods_homepage
    license = application.IOSConfig.cocoapods_license

    framework {
        baseName = Module.Core.simpleName
        isStatic = false

        export(project(Module.Monitoring.dependencyName))
    }
    podfile = project.file("../iosApp/Podfile")
}

Any Idea what is wrong with this configuration ?

You need to provide a binary with symbols from

FirebaseCrashlytics

pod when linking the XCFramework. The simplest way to do it is to add this pod also to the

core

module’s

cocoapods

block. This adds a small overhead with unnecessary cinterop-generation but there will be new api that eliminates it in 1.8.20 (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-41830) Or you can build a static framework from

core

module. You still will need to provide that binary when linking it into a final app though.

hey @a-dd I tried the above, getting the following errors and outputs. can you please help?

e: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/ld invocation reported errors

You must rebuild it with bitcode enabled (Xcode setting ENABLE_BITCODE), obtain an updated library from the vendor, or disable bitcode for this target. file

It looks like you’re using Xcode 13 or below. You can upgrade to 14 or manually enable bitcode for the framework

I'm using Xcode 14.2
