1.10.0.beta.2 - XCFrameworks + static libs error

What did you do?

We are migrating some code to static libraries using xcframeworks and we want to distribute it via Cocoapods.
In the demo there is a StaticLib folder with an xcframework that has only one class and its podspec, also there is an Example project with its Podfile.

I added the xcframework to the vendored_frameworks and after running pod install I noticed that it is setup in the Library Search Paths

But if I try to compile it gives me a No such module 'StaticLib' error, I found out that Xcode can't find the StaticLib.swiftmodule so I modified the SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS using the s.user_target_xcconfig in the StaticLib.podspec

  s.user_target_xcconfig = {
          'SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS' => '"${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/'+"#{s.name}"+'"'
    }

I read this PR #9720 but it only says that the ${HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS} adds the static library headers but mine is not Obj-C, its pure Swift.

Also its good to say that I built the xcframework using the xcodebuild command:

xcodebuild -create-xcframework \
  -library "./simulator/libStaticLib.a" \
  -library "./device/libStaticLib.a" \
  -output StaticLib.xcframework

I would like to ask if I am doing something wrong or its missing something at Cocoapods code to include the SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS part, I could leave it like that and it works but maybe its not the correct way.

Also I noticed another issue, when I try to run the project in a device it gives me this error:

warning: [CP] Unable to find matching .xcframework slice in '/Users/omarzl/Documents/CocoaPodsSupport/Example/Pods/../../StaticLib/StaticLib.xcframework StaticLib library ios-arm64 ios-x86_64-simulator' for the current build architectures (arm64).

The xcframework has a correct slice for arm64 but the StaticLib-xcframeworks.sh script can't find it.

I changed line 50 from:

local target_arch_regex="[_\-]${target_arch}[\/_\-]"

to:

local target_arch_regex="[_\-]*${target_arch}[\/_\-]*"

And it compiles, copies the slice to the XCFrameworkIntermediates folder and it runs correctly, maybe the regex should be modified?

@omarzl thanks for the great report.

A PR landed for 1.10.0.rc.1 https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/pull/10027/files that changes the regex, does that fix the issue? Can you try it?

[omarzl]

@dnkoutso Thank you for the response, I just tested it and its working fine!

Regarding the SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS configuration, do you know if I am missing something?

[dnkoutso]

Sorry I am not sure what to recommend for SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS.

This issue will be auto-closed because there hasn't been any activity for a few months. Feel free to open a new one if you still experience this problem 👍

[igor-makarov]

Just ran into this today, probably have a fix. FYI @dnkoutso

[LowAmmo]

Checking with those that might know more about what is causing the problem, if there is a good chance this will fix the issue called out in #10204 ?

@igor-makarov Hi,After I saw this problem, I tried it. If I use a swift dynamic xcframework, there will still be problems. I noticed that the SWIFT_INCLUDE_PATHS in the Pods-xxx-config.xcconfig file uses "${PODS_CONFIGURATION_BUILD_DIR}/libname", which is correct It should be to use "${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/libname", I modified the demo of the author of this issue:CocoaPodsSupport 2.zip
