ld: building for 'iOS-simulator', but linking in object file Tink.framework/Tink[arm64][2](TINKKeysetHandle+Cleartext.o)) built for 'iOS'

[gtokman]

TINKKeysetHandle+Cleartext.o precompiled binary is not built for arm64. This causes integration issues for folks that want to run and test Tink on simulator.

Error:

ld: building for 'iOS-simulator', but linking in object file (Tink.framework/Tink[arm64][2](TINKKeysetHandle+Cleartext.o)) built for 'iOS'

Did you find a solution?

We ended up making a custom build of the xcframework and hosting it in a private podspec.

git clone [email protected]:tink-crypto/tink-objc.git
cd tink-objc
bazel build //Tink:preprocessed_tink_static_xcframework

You might have noticed that the build target you used (//Tink:preprocessed_tink_static_xcframework) did not exist at the time this issue was opened. It was added recently as part of the process of reviving the Obj-C release process.

Out of curiosity, were you able to try to use the //Tink:Tink_static_xcframework target? It goes through a symbol hiding pass to avoid issues where it's linked in binaries which also include OpenSSL.

@chuckx No we have only used the preprocessed_tink_static_xcframework target and had no issues. But we can switch to Tink_static_xcframework if its recommended.
