Starscream: Minimum iOS version needs to increase

[ddaddy]

This library fails to build for device (It builds for simulator fine) in Xcode 13 (BETA 1&2).
The error is:

Failed to build module 'Network'; this SDK is not supported by the compiler (the SDK is built with 'Apple Swift version 5.5 (swiftlang-1300.0.20.4 clang-1300.0.21.1)', while this compiler is 'Apple Swift version 5.5 (swiftlang-1300.0.20.104 clang-1300.0.21.1)'). Please select a toolchain which matches the SDK.

This error goes away when you set the minimum iOS version to 11.0

@daltoniam @ddaddy I have created a PR and submitted it as well. Here is the link -> https://github.com/daltoniam/Starscream/pull/897

Meanwhile if anyone wants to use the library until the PR is accepted, you can do it by following the below given instructions.

Cocoapods -

pod 'Starscream', '~> 4.0.0', :git => 'https://github.com/rizwan95/Starscream.git'
SPM -

dependencies: [
    .Package(url: "https://github.com/rizwan95/Starscream.git", majorVersion: 4)
]

I don't understand the link between the error message and the minimum iOS version. Can someone explain to me?
Isn't that just an Xcode bug?

[ddaddy]

Yes it could be an Xcode bug, and I have filed a bug report with Apple (FB9296596)
If it gets fixed, great. If not, then the minimum iOS version will need to be increased.

According to Apple, it is not a bug, but it is a feature. Check this link https://github.com/SwiftKickMobile/SwiftMessages/issues/471#issuecomment-879971936 for more information about the issue.

Although it's a _feature_ to not allow the availability check, I'd say it's a bug that they have an availability check in the Network framework.

My bug report suggested this might be fixed in Beta 5, but it's not 🙄

Yes, I try but it's not, Do you have any idea to fix it?
I really want to use Xcode 13 because it's a faster, swift 5.5 async-await feature. but I can't build and I hope we can fix it soon.

[ddaddy]

Use a minimum iOS version of 11.0, or don't use Xcode 13 beta's.

This seems to be fixed in Xcode 13 Release Candidate :)

😂😂 I can't believe it!

[ddaddy]

Yeh, they did tell me it was fixed in iOS 15 beta 6, but we never got a new Xcode after beta 5 to test it.
