Building for 'visionOS-simulator', but linking in object file FIRAAdExposureReporter.o built for 'iOS-simulator'

[abbana]

Description

Hi,

I need to have support for iPhone, iPad and now for visionOS. I use CocoaPods. I have Xcode 15.2

I have applied rivera-ernesto workaround from CocoaPods/CocoaPods#12094 and my Podfile is per below

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '15.0'
use_frameworks!

target 'XYZ' do

pod 'Firebase', '> 10.22.0'
pod 'FirebaseDatabase', '> 10.22.0'
pod 'FirebaseCore', '> 10.22.0'
pod 'FirebaseAuth', '> 10.22.0'
pod 'FirebaseStorage', '> 10.22.0'
pod 'FirebaseAppCheck', '> 10.22.0'

post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|

            # Upgrade the minimum version
            config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'

            # Activate VisionOS support for all Pods
            config.build_settings['SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS'] = 'iphoneos iphonesimulator xros xrsimulator' # Includes VisionOS (xros) and its simulator (xrsimulator)
            config.build_settings['TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY'] = '1,2,7' # Incorporate device family '7' for VisionOS
    end


if target.name == 'Cache'
  target.build_configurations.each do |config|

            level = '-Osize'
            config.build_settings['SWIFT_OPTIMIZATION_LEVEL'] = level
            puts "Set #{target.name} #{config.name} to Optimization Level #{level}"

    end
end

end
end

I do not have a visionpro yet, so I need to use the simulator.

It throws

Building for 'visionOS-simulator', but linking in object file (/Users/aaa/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData15/XYZ-azxtzecwtbuysxhagymjaoytbgqj/Build/Products/Debug-xrsimulator/XCFrameworkIntermediates/FirebaseAnalytics/AdIdSupport/FirebaseAnalytics.framework/FirebaseAnalytics[arm64]3) built for 'iOS-simulator'

I do not use Analytics at all, but I have been told it comes with Core.

How can get this resolved please? Can't integrate the new platform otherwise.

I couldn't figure out how to label this issue, so I've labeled it for a human to triage. Hang tight.

[paulb777]

FirebaseAnalytics does not support visionOS. There is an open feature request at #12230.

Also, while the CocoaPods workaround may work, we've only tested Firebase via Swift Package Manager for visionOS targets.

[paulb777]

Remove pod 'Firebase', '> 10.22.0' from the Podfile to stop pulling in Analytics.

[paulb777]

@abbana Does removing Analytics from the installation address the build issue?

[abbana]

Hi @paulb777 ,

Removing Analytics resolved the issue.

Now we have a bigger issue that blocks us from proceeding.

Any of the below pulls GoogleDataTransport (9.4.1, latest) which won't run in visionOS Simulator "CoreTelephony is not available when building for visionOS Simulator."

FirebaseCrashLytics
FirebaseMessaging
GoogleMLKit

which we all use.

They compile perfectly to iOS simulator, and chances to have a physical visionOS are scarse, so we will be blocked till then. Can we have this fixed or workarounded so we can move forward please?

v9.4.1 (CocoaPods Only)
The v9.4.0 podspec did not include the intended dependency range for nanopb (#12477)

v9.4.0
Add privacy manifest. (#114)

v9.3.0
Added new APIs for attaching product ID data to an event.
Fix 0x8BADF00D crashes and add diagnostics. (#9859)

v9.2.5
Replace 'TARGET_OS_XR' with 'TARGET_OS_VISION' for compatibility with Xcode 15 Beta 5.

v9.2.4 (SwiftPM Only)
Fix build errors on the visionOS platform. (#97)

I tried to open a bug in GoogleDataTransport , but it has redirected us here.

Do I need to fill a new bug for this or is a quick fix?

Thank you.

[paulb777]

@abbana At first glance that looks like a CocoaPods issue: CoreTelephony is specified only for iOS and OSX in the podspec - https://github.com/google/GoogleDataTransport/blob/main/GoogleDataTransport.podspec#L36.

There may be a way to extend your Podfile workaround to address it, or you may be able to remove CoreTelephony from the linker settings manually after pod installation.

[abbana]

Raised CocoaPods/CocoaPods#12316

Let's give this some more time as in short of ideas on how to proceed further.

Thanks.

[abbana]

Ok,

so after hours of work, we still have this issue left unfortunately.
Apple wants us use one unique big app bundle for multiple platforms so we need to go through this pain, so sorry about this.

I have tried multiple thing amongst which the ones you suggested

• There may be a way to extend your Podfile workaround to address it

post_install do |installer|
  installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
  puts "\033[33m  scanning platform #{target.platform_name} , target #{target.name}   \033[0m"
  if target.platform_name == :visionos
    if target.name == "GoogleDataTransport"
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['OTHER_LDFLAGS'] = '$(inherited) -framework "CoreTelephony"'
              puts "\033[33m  found and removed CoreTelephony on visionOS   \033[0m"      

        end
      end
    end
  end
end

Which gives us something around the lines below

  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseCoreInternal-FirebaseCoreInternal_Privacy   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseDatabase   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseDynamicLinks   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseDynamicLinks-FirebaseDynamicLinks_Privacy   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseSharedSwift   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseStorage   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseStorageUI   
  scanning platform ios , target FirebaseUI  

Of course CocoaPods has just one platform and we have set it ios. We can't distinguish at this stage between the two, so nothing we can do here

• or you may be able to remove CoreTelephony from the linker settings manually after pod installation.

In Xcode, under "Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content" all are linked to just Pods_.framework , so we can't workaround anything here it either, am I wrong?

I was not able to find in the podspec s.visionos.frameworks = 'SystemConfiguration', while all the other platforms have it, so maybe it defaults to the platform specified in the podfile if not sepcified in the .podspect?
I am not an expert and need an help in pinpoint this.

It will be worth adding the s.visionos.frameworks value to the .podspec and try with an ios-visionos empty project if that fixes the built issue.

Let me know if anything I can do from my side.

And thank you.

[paulb777]

Here's an example of how to manually edit, both in GoogleDataTransport.debug and GoogleDataTransport.release:

[abbana]

Thank you @paulb777 ,

but I haven't found a way to remove that frame either in Xcode or Podfile as after installation task, simply we were not able to.

Also supposing you can effectively remove it from the framework list that way, which is not, you will remove it from all the build targets.

So the only solution I see is that the maintainer, you, fix the repo so that it won't be included for visionOS and visionOS simulator.

[paulb777]

We haven't yet prioritized CocoaPods support for VisionOS, so we're currently more able to help people using Swift Package Manager for VisionOS builds.

[abbana]

Thank you Paul,

There are some Google Products like MLKit which do not support SPM , see googlesamples/mlkit#180

We use them in Android, iOS, ipadOS, and we should use them on visionOS as well.

Can we have a rough ETA on to when a Firebase project will be able to run for both iOS and visionOS using CocoaPods?

[paulb777]

We don't yet have an ETA for visionOS via CocoaPods, partly because CocoaPods support for visionOS is still TBD.

I don't think there are any Google products that support visionOS that don't also support Swift Package Manager.

[abbana]

Understood, thank you.
