Hi Harold @hthetiot

testing it and having this at compile

What should we do ?

[hthetiot]

It looks to me the hooks was not executed, try removing the plug-in and add again.

Travis has no issue building branch 8.0.0:
https://github.com/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/pull/545

[numerized]

already tried quite a few times this before reporting.
I can put previous versions without any problem.

I tried to update to Swift5 too, just to be sure.
Doesn't help.

I'll try with the demo project you have
I rolled back to cordova9 and same issue, I tried with node12 as well.

I tried with your IOS sample project, from scratch first install I get this:

[hthetiot]

@numerized can you fill a separate issue with information requested.
I'm not able to reproduce any of your issues.
Notice that if you use cordiva-ios 6+ you need to remove WKWebView Plugin cause its builtin now.

[hthetiot]

@numerized As you can see here Travis build without issue, meaning the issue in on your setup nothing else.

[hthetiot]

I tried with your IOS sample project, from scratch first install I get this:

That because you are using cordova-ios 6+
you need to remove to cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine when you use cordova-ios 6+

cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine

I checked in depth and I found that my project was on swift 4.0, switching it to swift 4.2 made it working.

now when it comes to publishing in the appstore we face this bug:

I've obviously updated to latest Xcode version and I usually don't have problems.

I usually follow these steps before publishing to appstores:

node plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/extra/ios_arch.js --extract
node plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/extra/ios_arch.js --device
node plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/extra/ios_arch.js --clean
cordova platform remove ios
cordova platform add ios
file platforms/ios/Bandcast/Plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC

which gives:

platforms/ios/Bandcast/Plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64] [arm64]
platforms/ios/Bandcast/Plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
platforms/ios/Bandcast/Plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC (for architecture arm64):  Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64

cordova build ios --device

I could rollback to 7.0.0 RC2.
Tomorrow I'll check and let you know

[hthetiot]

@numerized please fill separate issue, this is Announcement, not hotline or bug report issue.

Finaly google is your friend:

• https://github.com/react-native-webrtc/react-native-webrtc/issues/141

The documentation is your friend also:

• https://github.com/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/blob/master/docs/Building.md#strip-simulator-archs-usage

platforms/ios/Bandcast/Plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC (for architecture x86_64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library x86_64
platforms/ios/Bandcast/Plugins/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/WebRTC.framework/WebRTC (for architecture arm64): Mach-O 64-bit dynamically linked shared library arm64

You still have x86_64, this should not be the case...

I keep having this issue:

Please create a separate issue this is not the right place, also Continuous integration does not have this issue (https://travis-ci.org/github/cordova-rtc/cordova-plugin-iosrtc/jobs/761038140), make sure to provide all version and exact steps to reproduce and dependency (ionic or capacitor, etc..).

Also we don't use "before_plugin_add" check plugin.xml, and finally, 8.0 is on master now

task/8.0.0 has been merged on master anyway.

I can believe i have to quote your error message to explain to you the issue.

[hthetiot]

If you want to test v8 read the testing, it's on master now and task/8.0.0 has been merged...

[buu700]

8.0.0 is now latest on NPM.

Was it unpublished or something? I still see 6.0.20 as the latest version.
