Blank screen when excluding arm64 from simulator sdk

[steelzeh]

if arm64 is added to Excluded Archives -> Any iOS Simulator SDK, then when trying to show any portal it just shows blank screen.

Can you provide a minimal reproduction? I'm unable to reproduce it myself. Were you able to get the portal to render before adding arm64 to excluded architectures?

I think this only happens on M1 when testing on simulator without Rosetta.

1. Create new project
2. Install Portals via Pod
3. Portals works fine
4. Exclude arm64 from Any iOS Simulator SDK
5. Portals not working.

On Discord Minsky mentioned that this was an issue with Capacitor, and has been fixed in 4.1.0. But seems that Portals uses 3.7.0.

Sounds like the mime-type issue. Unfortunately, Portals isn't quite ready to update to 4.1+ yet and Capacitor hasn't published Cocoapods releases for those versions.

I assume the reason you're needing to exclude arm64 is because of a binary dependency that can't run on an arm64 simulator?

[steelzeh]

Okay yeah makes sense.

Yes one of the libraries that we use is not working compatible for arm64, and may not be sadly.

This issue should be resolved now that version 0.7.0 depends on Capacitor 4.4+
