I maintained a binary distribution of MMKV by running xcodebuild archive and xcodebuild -create-xcframework

Upstream has confirmed that binary support will not not supported or merged. See #866

But this is an issue out of scope of binary product IMO.

Things used to be fine. But when I bump from 1.3.0 to the latest 1.3.5 version. I noticed the CI is failing.

The CI script I'm using can be found here https://github.com/Kyle-Ye/MMKV/blob/master/iOS/archive_xcframework.sh

Cloning the corresponding version locally, I found that MMKV-Static build fine while MMKV can not build now.

Steps to reproduce

1. git clone https://github.com/Tencent/MMKV.git and switch to version 1.3.5 / master branch
2. Open MMKV.xcworkspace or iOS/MMKV/MMKV.xcodeproj
3. Choose MMKV schema and run build or archive

Workaround I have tried

I tried to replace -scheme MMKV to -scheme 'MMKV Static'

And then build the xcframework with the following command.

xcodebuild \
-create-xcframework \
-archive archives/MMKV-iOS.xcarchive -library libMMKV.a \
-archive archives/MMKV-macOS.xcarchive -library libMMKV.a \
-archive archives/MMKV-iOS-Simulator.xcarchive -library libMMKV.a \
-output archives/MMKV-Static.xcframework

But since there is no .h or modulemap file produced in the xcarchive folder. I can't import anything on the client side.

xcodebuild archive \
-workspace MMKV.xcworkspace \
-scheme 'MMKV Static' \
-configuration Release \
-destination "generic/platform=iOS Simulator" \
-archivePath "archives/MMKV-iOS-Simulator" \
SKIP_INSTALL=NO \
BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES

What's the log of MMKV when that happened?

Your detail logs. As much as possible.
For how to forward MMKV's log, you can checkout the wiki on each platform.

It's fixed in the dev branch. You can cherry-pick into your local clone. 52963d3

Thanks, can we get an expectation timeline for the next release which will contain the fix?

Not in any time soon.

Got it. I'll use a local fork then.
