Create XCFramework for arm simulator

[jizoquval]

Hi guys, your plugin is awesome! But I stuck with one problem. Here is my configuration :

multiplatformSwiftPackage {
    packageName("XXX")
    swiftToolsVersion("5.3")
    targetPlatforms {
        iOS { v("13") }
    }
}

createSwiftPackage task generates Swift package with two targets ios-arm64 and ios-x86_64-simulator, this works great on Intel Mac simulators and iPhones, but this not works on Apple silicone arm simulator.

So is it possible to generate target for Arm simulator ?

Having the same issue, but it's not related to this plugin. Apple Silicon support is on the Kotlin Roadmap. For details, see these tickets: KT-43667 and KT-45302

Seems like Kotlin supports Apple Silicon beginning with version 1.5.30:

Can anyone confirm if it works? 😃

@bogdan-razvan Not works. As I understand kotlin team added a new targets macosArm64, iosSimulatorArm64, watchosSimulatorArm64, tvosSimulatorArm64 so need to add it into the plugin. @ge-org Do you have any near plans for support it? Or you will wait pull requests from community?

[jizoquval]

Anyway I submitted new pull request with new targets support.

Is this planned to be merged ? I need to run on arm simulator.

I'm looking for the same. Any chance PR to be merged in order to support M1 chip? @ge-org, thank you!

Heyo, also waiting on this merge, thanks @jizoquval!

I'm also very interested in this. Do you think it will happen or is it time to look for alternatives?

Hey guys, did anyone find a solution for this without this plugin?

There is a workaround for me.
In build.gradle.kts
plugins {
...
id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.native.cocoapods") version "1.7.10"
...
}
...
kotlin {
// HERE IS THE KEY PART. You can add whatever platform you want to package in the xcframework.
iosX64()
iosArm64()
iosSimulatorArm64()
...
cocoapods {
summary = "..."
homepage = "https://gitlab.com/...."
version = "x.x.x"
ios.deploymentTarget = "15"
framework {
baseName = "awesome name"
}
}
...
}

Yeah just that cocoapods plugin. If you already know how to use it. That's awesome.

Once the plugin is set up right. Run gradle command in cocoapods/podPublishDebugXCFramework. You can also choose the release one.

You'll get the framework at project_folder/build/cocoapods/publish/debug/awesome_name.xcframework

Replace awesome_name.xcframework in the folder where multiplatform-swift-package created.

Make sure the names created by both are the same. Otherwise just change the name in Package.swift will also be ok.
