Hi!

We are having the same issue:

ld: in .../AppCenterAnalytics.framework/AppCenterAnalytics(MSACAnalytics.o), building for iOS, but linking in object file (.../AppCenterAnalytics.framework/AppCenterAnalytics(MSACAnalytics.o)) built for Mac Catalyst, for architecture arm64

[Echelpoel]

Reverting back to version 3.1.3 fixes the issue for now.

[gintsmurans]

It does, thanks.

[bmkopp10]

I am also having the same issue, and reverting it also fixes it.

Hi @Echelpoel @gintsmurans @bmkopp10, please try to update your Cocoapods version to 1.10 or above, it should fix the issue.
It was reported in our Apple SDK: https://github.com/microsoft/appcenter-sdk-apple/issues/2251
and turned out to be a bug in the previous Cocoapods versions.

This worked for me.

I'm closing this issue, feel free to reply if you encounter the same problem again and we'll re-open it.

Updated cocoapods but still having the same issue

[Jamminroot]

Hey @andreaagudo3, sorry to hear that, and my apologies for such a delay in response. Would you mind sharing some additional details:
Environment details (rnpod version, xcode version)
Is it an update from previous version, or you just have added the SDK?
Can you share some build logs describing the problem? That'd help us understand what's wrong.
Also, can you check if it is reproduced on an empty project?

[russelarms]

@andreaagudo3 please, run pod repo update and then pod install and try again.

[Jamminroot]

We haven't heard from you for a while, so I'm closing the issue for now, but feel free to reopen would you need further assistance.

[DmitriyKirakosyan]

Hi @LoganBrownStFX

Thank you for getting in touch with us!

What was updated so the issue appeared? AppCenter SDK update, Xcode update, macOS update, react-native update?
Have you tried to update App Center SDK to the latest version (4.2.0)?
Have you tried to reproduce the issue on a new project?

[DmitriyKirakosyan]

We haven’t heard from you in a while so I’m closing this issue but feel free to reopen this issue if you have additional questions.
