Catalyst for ios platform ?

Hi Has anyone tried building an ios project using ‘Catalyst’ for macOS Catalina ?

If I try enabling that build, I get:

CDVURLProtocol.m:20:9: AssetsLibrary is deprecated and is not available when building for Mac Catalyst. Consider migrating to Photos instead, or use #if !TARGET_OS_MACCATALYST to conditionally import this framework, first importing TargetConditionals.h if necessary.

Seems like the AssetsLibrary has been deprecated, and has been fixed in ionic, are you guys planning on removing it too ? https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/pull/1825

Going forward, should Catalyst be used or the ‘osx’ platform ?

Thanks

So just tested Catalyst for on a new ‘hello’ cordova project, using ios@6.1.0 Project builds (and runs on iOS), but after enabling Catalyst I get this codesign error: unsealed contents present in the bundle root Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code Has someone gotten a Catalyst ios build to work ? Update: just saw the post from dpogue above, unfortunately I can’t get around the codesign issue, can you share some more detail where you copied the config.xml and www directory ? (not familiar with codesign)

CodeSign error means your app isn’t signed properly, you need to select a development team in the target root node. The build fails for another reason

I unfortunately have this same error. Cannot find a way around it. The app is set to automatically sign and a team is selected from both dropdowns.

Hy guys

With just a few changes, it is possible to generate a simple cordova app supporting catalyst without changing ios behavior In the script copy-www-build-step.sh, change the variable DST_DIR based on build platform

DST_DIR="$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$FULL_PRODUCT_NAME"
if [[ "$PLATFORM" == "macosx" ]]; then
  //In case build ios directories exists
  rm -rf "$DST_DIR_WWW"
  rm -f  "$DST_DIR/config.xml"

  DST_DIR="$BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR/$FULL_PRODUCT_NAME/Contents/Resources"
fi

Once it works, I think we’d want to encourage using Catalyst for macOS to avoid needing to maintain a similar-but-separate cordova-osx platform.

See also https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/551.

We’d definitely like to address this, but it’s not clear if that code is actually being used (it probably is, by someone, somewhere) and whether removing it (like Ionic did) is the right step.
