Wrong warning is emitted about the dSYMs architectures not matching when using XCFrameworks

• I've read and understood the CONTRIBUTING guidelines and have done my best effort to follow.

Report

What did you do?

• Download the attached sample project and unzip.
• cd into Minimal-CocoaPods.
• run pod install
• Build the Minimal scheme on an iOS 14 simulator.

What did you expect to happen?

There should be no warnings.

What happened instead?

CocoaPods emits warnings about the dSYMs architectures not matching when using XCFrameworks:

warning: [CP] Vendored binary '/Users/radazzouz/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/PSPDFKit.build/DerivedSources/PSPDFKit.framework.ios-arm64.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/PSPDFKit' contains architectures (arm64) none of which match the current build architectures (x86_64).

This is an invalid warning because PSPDFKit.framework.ios-arm64.dSYM's binary is non-fat and it should not contain an x86_64 architecture.

lipo -info ~/Downloads/Minimal-CocoaPods/Pods/PSPDFKit/PSPDFKit.dSYMs/PSPDFKit.framework.ios-arm64.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/PSPDFKit 
Non-fat file: /Users/radazzouz/Downloads/Minimal-CocoaPods/Pods/PSPDFKit/PSPDFKit.dSYMs/PSPDFKit.framework.ios-arm64.dSYM/Contents/Resources/DWARF/PSPDFKit is architecture: arm64

And because, we're building in debug mode (Build for Active Architectures Only is enabled) on a simulator and not on an iOS devices.

Additional Information:

1. The warning is only emitted when building on a Simulator or on Mac Catalyst. When building on an iOS real device, we are not getting the warning.
2. Could be related to Issue with thinning dSYM files #7196, Pod lint fails when containing dynamic-frameworks without simulator architectures #5854, and Be more lenient when stripping frameworks and dSYMs for non fat binaries #7197

Thanks for the great report!

[dnkoutso]

We can fix for 1.10.0

[dnkoutso]

@radazzouz fixed here #10114

I tried in your sample and for DEBUG builds I did not get the warning but for RELEASE I did which I think is correct.

[dnkoutso]

@radazzouz if you want a take a look at the PR let me know if the fix appears correct.

[radazzouz]

Thank you so much for the ping @dnkoutso! 👍 I just commented on the PR with my findings https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/pull/10114/files#r498993350

[dnkoutso]

@radazzouz I know this is a relatively old issue but I tried it again and it seems I got no warning. I am not sure however if its fixed by another PR in cocoapods or because the podspec was updated.

I am for now removing it from 1.11.0

[radazzouz]

Thanks for the followup, @dnkoutso!

I just rested this in this slightly modified version of the sample project above and I can no longer reproduce it.

My guess is that this issue has been fixed by the changes in #10122 and the new XCFramework format that PSPDFKit uses. See https://pspdfkit.com/blog/2021/advances-in-xcframeworks/#cocoapods

awesome. thanks for confirming @radazzouz ! going to close for now we can re-open if something shows up or file a new issue.
