Google Cast SDK 2.3.0 for iOS doesn't support

Question

It seems like the 2.3.0 version of the Google Cast SDK for iOS stopped supporting the arm64 architecture (it does support x86_64 though, making it work in the 64-bit simulator)

 λ: cd GoogleCast.framework     
 λ: file GoogleCast     
 GoogleCast: Mach-O universal binary with 5 architectures
 GoogleCast (for architecture cputype (16777228) cpusubtype (0)):   current ar archive
 GoogleCast (for architecture armv7):   current ar archive random library
 GoogleCast (for architecture armv7s):  current ar archive random library
 GoogleCast (for architecture i386):    current ar archive random library
 GoogleCast (for architecture x86_64):  current ar archive random library

Therefore, I get this error when building for a physical device:

ld: archive has no table of contents file '/Users/****/Frameworks/GoogleCast.framework/GoogleCast' for architecture arm64

Answer 1

If you install 2.3.0.1 via CocoaPods, insert the code below in Podfile.

post_install do |installer|
  `ranlib Pods/google-cast-sdk/GoogleCastFramework-2.3.0-Release/GoogleCast.framework/Versions/A/GoogleCast`
end

I raised this issue https://code.google.com/p/google-cast-sdk/issues/detail?id=324&can=1&q=arm64

adding -all_load in Other Linker Flag made it work with arm64 but I still get warnings about a missing dwarf:

"warning: (arm64) /Users/marksp/Documents/src/tvmp-iview-ios/Pods/google-cast-sdk/GoogleCastFramework-2.3.0-Release/GoogleCast.framework/GoogleCast(CastProtos.o) object file doesn't contain DWARF debug information"

Answer 3

If -all_load flag doesn't work for you (because of 3rd party libraries)

You can use ranlib like this :

ranlib GoogleCast.framework/Versions/A/GoogleCast
