Carthage with specified version
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hey!
When I write this in my Cartfile:
github "UrbanApps/Armchair" == 0.1.2
I can't deploy my app to a device. It looks like carthage does something "smart" by downloading the .framework-file attached to that tag. The .framework file in this case has been built by an older compiler (probably a previous version of xcode), and hence I can't deploy it :(
So my question is, why is there a .framework file attached to the tag? And could we get rid of it?
See here
Cool! Precompiled frameworks are known to not work though, check this out:
That does look like a problem. I'm not a Carthage user and am not developing much in iOS lately... don't really have time to investigate. Can you elaborate on what exactly needs to be done here to fix it?
I've investigated this and reached this result:
Attaching the .framework-file doesn't fulfil any purpose, since nobody can use it. So if you're spending time attaching this file to every tag you can stop doing that from now on.
You don't have to remove them on old tags though, if a user wants to use tag 0.1.2 for example he/she just has to add --no-use-binaries to the carthage build command. This flag will force Carthage to compile the framework and not use any pre-built frameworks.
I'm closing this issue, but feel free to reach out if anything is unclear.
Keep up the good work. ✨🚀
Thanks for doing the research and posting the solution!
