Building for iOS framework does not generate the podspec file

[long1eu]

Building the iOS framework does not generate the podspec file.
'{...}/build/ios/pkg/{dynamic|static}/Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec'

The command I used is make iframework BUILDTYPE=Debug

We removed the generated local podspec in #15027 as part of improving validation and streamlining the build process. Can you say more about how you used this file?

I agree with your decision, but the readme is not updated.

My issue is about a having symbols when a crash occurs. I only get libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error

Ah, thanks for pointing that out — we’ll update the docs soon.

To use a local build via CocoaPods, one way would be to edit platform/ios/Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec and change this:

mapbox-gl-native/platform/ios/Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec

Lines 17 to 20 in 8e1bd18

	m.source = {
	:http => "https://mapbox.s3.amazonaws.com/mapbox-gl-native/ios/builds/mapbox-ios-sdk-#{m.version.to_s}-dynamic.zip",
	:flatten => true
	}

... to this:

  m.source = {
    :path => "../../build/ios/pkg/dynamic/",
    :flatten => true
  }

And then point your Podfile to that podspec.

Another way would be to overwrite the CocoaPods-downloaded version with the custom-built Mapbox.framework and .dsym.

Thanks!
One think that I found is that I don't have any .dsym files when I run
make iframework BUILDTYPE=Debug SYMBOLS=true

[friedbunny]

One think that I found is that I don't have any .dsym files [for debug builds]

That’s expected, as the binaries in debug builds should keep all of their symbols (and other unoptimized ephemera) that would otherwise be stripped out into a dSYM for a size- and/or performance-optimized release build.

I think we can close this
