## Description
I have been following the tutorial
https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/blob/master/ios/README.md
To build jitsi meet.

Installed all dependencies and pods etc.

When i run this command
xcodebuild -workspace ios/jitsi-meet.xcworkspace -scheme JitsiMeet -destination='generic/platform=iOS' -configuration Release archive

It says archive succeeded but the framework is not present in ios/sdk folder

The only framework i was able to find was from derived folders but it was empty with no header file in framework

Please note that i have been building this earlier with no issues. I have faced this issue since xcode update to 10.0 while adding support for ios12

## Current behavior

Does not generate jitsimeet.framework
cannot get the framework target to generate a proper archive. Therefore, IOS12 remains unsupported.

Steps to reproduce

Mentioned Under Description.

##Extra

Seems to be bug in Xcode10 , however , i have tried Xcode 10.1 beta and issue is still there. Which means we will not be able to support ios12.

---

tried to do it from xcode9 , however ios12 architecture remains supported. after adding arm64e as arm64 is allready there , still there is error

The generated framework gave error in Xcode.
"Missing Required architecture file arm64 in jitsimeet.framework/jitsimeet
clang : error : linker command failed with exit code 1

---

Didnot changed anything in jitsi react and then tried with original code , was able to find one generated framework in dervied folder which again gave the same error :
"Missing Required architecture file arm64 in jitsimeet.framework/jitsimeet
clang : error : linker command failed with exit code 1

##Suggestion

When i was checking Xcodebuild generated logs , at the end it was
cd ios/sdk
Touch -c /path/to/dervied/folder/containing/jitsi/framework

However while checking locally this /path/to/dervied/folder/containing/jitsi/framework folder was never present. Rechecked , while XcodeBuild was working , this folder was there initially however halfway during build it was deleted , There i think jitsiframework requires some edits and modifications to be made in order to support ios12 and xcode 10+

Hi there,

Writing my current workaround to this solution for Xcode 10.

WORK AROUND No.1 (_Try Work around No.2 before trying this_)
After following the documentation and running command

xcodebuild -workspace ios/jitsi-meet.xcworkspace -scheme JitsiMeet -destination='generic/platform=iOS' -configuration Release archive

When it says archive succeeded.
Go to derived data folder, then open jitsi-meet-xyz folder
follow the path
Build/intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/JitsiMeet/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphonesimulator/JitsiMeet.Framework

Copy this framework to your app.

Open JitsiMeet.Framework

The current binary should work with simulator. However it would give
architecture error for device.

if on device i replaced it with this binary.
JitsiMeetForDevice

And i was able to build it for ios12 on xcode10

EDIT :
* HOWEVER THIS GAVE REACT NATIVE ERRORS & Debug Logs while testing the app & i wasnt comfortable with replacing binary. Therefore, tried the following :
*
_WORK AROUND No.2_
After making changes in react and all testing the app.

RUN : xcodebuild -workspace ios/jitsi-meet.xcworkspace -scheme jitsi-meet -destination='generic/platform=iOS' -configuration Release archive

Please note that i have changed the scheme here. Also in my jitsi-meet.xcworkspace , i changed couple settings. but i am sure it would work properly without any changes in build settings.

When xcodebuild task is complete and archive succeeds.
Follow the path below :
DerivedData/jitsi-meet-...../build/intermediate.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Jitsi-Meet/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/
Find JitsiMeet.framework and right click and "show original" .

Now i imported this framework in my Project and not having any architecture issues as well as react native issues. it is working smoothly for now and all functions are working properly too. Yet, i am still to test it more.

Here is what worked for me, using Xcode:

1) Select the JitsiMeet target
2) Select Generic iOS device
3) Click in the target, edit the scheme and choose the Release build configuration
4) Hit build
5) Goto sdk -> Products -> JitsiMeet.framework, right click: show in Finder

The resulting binary has both arm architectures.

Yup thank you ,
Building framework with jitsi-meet scheme also resolved the issue which had proper binaries.
and the method you have mentioned also does work.

I'm closing this since there is nothing we can act on other than providing workarounds.

The resulting binary has both arm architectures.

Unfortunately not working for me, still "Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64" running on the simulator, xcode 10.1.
