Firebase-ios-sdk: Add arm64e slice to Firebase Analytics

Created on 17 Oct 2019 · 5Comments · Source: firebase/firebase-ios-sdk

A full year has passed since arm64e was announced. The arm64e support in Xcode 11 is still considered experimental, but Apple advises us to test our apps in advance in order to prepare in for the moment when arm64e becomes a required architecture. App authors still can't do that today if their app depends on Firebase Analytics.

This also applies to all binary-only dependencies that Firebase Analytics itself depends on.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

Xcode version: 11.1
Firebase SDK version: 6.10.0 installed via Cocoapods
Firebase Component: Analytics (Auth, Core, Database, Firestore, Messaging, Storage, etc)
Component version: 6.10.0 (Core), 6.1.3 (Analytics)

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

Steps to reproduce:

When arm64e is enabled as an architecture, Xcode 11.1 fails to link the target app because there is missing arm64e slice in Firebase Analytics (and perhaps some of its dependencies):

Undefined symbols for architecture arm64e:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_FIRAnalytics", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in IosAnalytics.o
     (maybe you meant: _OBJC_CLASS_$_FIRAnalyticsConfiguration)
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64e
