[BUG] Unable to publish Xamarin iOS app to App Store with SkiaSharp with 2.88.4 or 2.88.5

[eddieyanez]

Description

The error I get when uploading the app to the Apple App Store is:

[Application Loader Error Output]: Asset validation failed Unsupported Architectures. The executable for AppNameXX.iOS.app/Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework contains unsupported architectures '[arm64e]'.

All works fine on version 2.88.3

Code

The best way to share code for larger projects is a link to a GitHub repository: https://github.com/user/repo/tree/bug-123

But, you can also share a short block of code here:

// some C# code here

You can also share some XAML:

<!-- xaml code here -->

Expected Behavior

No issues reported when uploading to the Apple App Store.

Actual Behavior

[Application Loader Error Output]: Asset validation failed Unsupported Architectures. The executable for AppNameXX.iOS.app/Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework contains unsupported architectures '[arm64e]'.

@rolfbjarne I have added the M1 simulator bits to the fat framework, but it appears that xamarin.ios is not stripping out the simulator arch?

Do I need a special something or is this a bug somewhere?

[rolfbjarne]

@mattleibow you can't have a single .framework for both arm64 simulator and arm64 device. You need to use an .xcframework in that case (which contains two different .framework directories, one for the simulator and one for device).

[mattleibow]

@rolfbjarne i looked again and I am not doing that... I have 2 frameworks, one for sim and one for device.

I have arm64 and arm64e in the device.

iphonesimulator: x86_64 + arm64
iphoneos: arm64 + arm64e

Is this correct, and do I still need to use an xcframework? I am a tiny bit hesitant as I will have to change the build a bit.

[rolfbjarne]

@mattleibow no, you can just drop arm64e, Apple doesn't allow submissions with that architecture, it's of no use right now.

[mattleibow]

Thanks!

I fixed this and will try push a preview with the fix soon.

[zleao]

Any idea when this will be published (even as a preview)?

[mattleibow]

Literally waiting on CI to finish the build and push :) Hopefully very soon. You can test right now using the preview feed:

• https://aka.ms/skiasharp-eap/index.json
• 2.88.6-preview.0.5

If it works for you I can push out today. I am fairly confident, but you should be able to test that.

Are you abl to test and confirm easily, or does it require a full review by Apple?

Its working now, thank you!

I also had the same problem with v2.88.5. Strangely enough, when trying to upload from VS I was still getting an error. But the same archive I managed to upload with Transporter

[jimbowyer]

Thanks - this just unblocked us on iOS app store verification. v 2.88.5 was failing verification inside Xamarin Forms project with 'libSkiaSharp.framework contains unsupported architectures '[arm64e]''. Prerelease 2.88.6-preview.1.2 gets us past that and to a delivered app in submission review :)

[follesoe]

Excellent, thanks for the swift fix! Ran into the same issue, verifying using 2.88.6-preview.1.2 now.

[eddieyanez]

Hi, I'm sorry I never saw this update. My email notifications were off, and so were on Github. Thanks for addressing the issue. I'll update to the latest version.

[mattleibow]

There should be a new stable version filled with fixes! Enjoy!
