Unable to build IOS project

[yevgenykuz]

Hi,
I'm trying to build the project locally, followed the guide https://www.osmand.net/docs/technical/build-osmand/how-to-compile-the-ios-version , and the workflow (https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd-iOS/blob/master/.github/workflows/xcode-local-build.yml) as well.

When I try to build the project either through Xcode or through the command line (xcodebuild -project OsmAnd_projects.xcodeproj -target OsmAndCore_static_standalone -sdk iphoneos -configuration Release) - there's an issue with z_static:

** BUILD FAILED **


The following build commands failed:
	CompileC /.../osmandapp/baked/fat-ios-clang.xcode/build/z_static.build/Release-iphoneos/Objects-normal/arm64/zutil.o /.../osmandapp/core/externals/zlib/upstream.patched/zutil.c normal arm64 c com.apple.compilers.llvm.clang.1_0.compiler (in target 'z_static' from project 'OsmAnd_projects')
(1 failure)

In Xcode:

Env details:

• MacBook Air M1 (MacOS 15.4.1)
• clang: 17.0.0
• cmake: 4.0.1 (also tried with 3.25.2 - same issue)
• Xcode: 16.3

Any advice?

"-sdk iphoneos" ?

Try to chance build target to "My Mac (Designed for Ipad)"

[yevgenykuz]

-sdk iphoneos comes from the build script:

OsmAnd-iOS/.github/workflows/xcode-local-build.yml

Line 123 in 8d7d81b

run: 'xcodebuild -project OsmAnd_projects.xcodeproj -target ZERO_CHECK -sdk iphoneos -configuration Release'

It is also mentioned in the documentation (https://www.osmand.net/docs/technical/build-osmand/how-to-compile-the-ios-version).

I tried the My Mac target and it seemed to get through my issue, but then I hit the CarPlay entitlement issue — a capability not supported by free Apple Developer accounts which I currently have.

CarPlay was the reason I wanted to tinker with the project, so I'm forced to give up at this point (not planning to pay for a developer account right now...).

Thanks for the help!

On macOS 15.4.1 and Xcode 16.3. I haven’t tested it yet, as I have older updates. CMake 4.0.1 may not work reliably for the project. Make sure you have a compatible version of CMake — run cmake --version to check (I have version 3.23.3). Also, clean the project as described in this section, and be sure to run it in the Debug scheme.
