Can't build for watchOS with Carthage

[wrutkowski-blinq]

Summary

I'm trying to fetch and build Apollo using Carthage but it fails on watchOS simulator build.

Version

0.40.0

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Cartfile

github "apollographql/apollo-ios-xcframework"

Cartfile.resolved

github "apollographql/apollo-ios-xcframework" "1.19.0"

Then run

carthage update --use-xcframeworks --platform watchOS

Anything else?

xcrun simctl list:

...
-- watchOS 11.4 --
    Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm) (63CEACE7-3A82-407E-BA8E-482CAEEC3FCE) (Booted)
    Apple Watch Ultra (49mm) (518B0CFC-F6D3-4A45-98C8-8B5DD168B570) (Shutdown)
...

So looks like the simulator with provided UUID is there, but ApolloAPI-xcframework doesn't treat it as a run destination.

I tried using Xcode 16.2 and Xcode 16.3.

Hi @wrutkowski-blinq - I'm able to reproduce the errors you've shown above but I'm not sure how to fix them. I see you created the same issue in the Carthage repo without response. I'll see what we can do to resolve but if this is a Carthage bug I'm not sure how quick that's going to be.

[calvincestari]

I've spent some time trying to work around it but I can't figure it out, I really don't think this is an Apollo iOS issue though.

I'm closing this issue due to inactivity. If this is still unresolved, feel free to provide more information and we can re-open this, or create a new issue.
