Problem with iOS ANE and third party library

Hello everyone, we are trying to generate an ANE that includes a third party library for visualizing pdf documents. The library works fine without ANE integration, and also the ANE itself works without the library.

The problem seems to occur while linking:

Anyone can give any clue of what can be happening or what type of problem could have the third party library that triggers the problem?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards.

I have added

<packagedDependencies>

                              <packagedDependency>libPDFNet.a</packagedDependency>

                    </packagedDependencies>

to the platform.xml file, but now i'm getting this error:

ld: file is universal (3 slices) but does not contain a(n) armv7 slice: ../../temp/ios/libPDFNet.a for architecture armv7

The .a file does have both armv7 and i386 slices, here's the result of doing a file command on it:

file libPDFNet.a

libPDFNet.a: Mach-O universal binary with 3 architectures

libPDFNet.a (for architecture armv7):          current ar archive random library

libPDFNet.a (for architecture i386):          current ar archive random library

libPDFNet.a (for architecture cputype (12) cpusubtype (11)):          current ar archive random library

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I hope that after adding the .a as a packaged Dependency, you have removed the linking step to this from the linker options?

Can you share the entire contents of your platform.xml and the commands you are using to package ANE as well as IPA?

Thanks,

Neha

Hello Neha, and thanks for your answer. That's my plaftorm.xml right now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/3.5">

    <sdkVersion>6.1</sdkVersion>

   

    <linkerOptions>

        <option>-ios_version_min 5.1</option>

        <option>-framework CFNetwork</option>

                    <option>-framework CoreText</option>       

                    <option>-framework QuartzCore</option>   

        <option>-framework Security</option>

                    <option>-framework CoreGraphics</option>   

    </linkerOptions>

   

    <packagedDependencies>

                              <packagedDependency>libPDFNet.a</packagedDependency>

          </packagedDependencies>

</platform>

It looks like "adt -package -target ane..." works fine, but when I try "adt -package -target ipa-debug-interpreter...", it gives me the error. This is the ant script I'm using for this step:

<target name="test-ios-package" description="Create the debug application .ipa package">

                    <copy file="../src/${name}-app.xml" todir="../bin" overwrite="true"/>

                    <java jar="${sdk.home}/lib/adt.jar" failonerror="true" dir="../bin" fork="true">

                              <jvmarg line="-Xms1024m -Xmx4096m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m"/>

                              <arg value="-package"/>

                              <arg value="-Xverbose"/>

                              <arg value="-target"/>

                              <arg value="ipa-debug-interpreter"/>

                              <arg value="-provisioning-profile"/>

                              <arg value="${ios.provisioning.profile}"/>

                              <arg value="-storetype"/>

                              <arg value="pkcs12"/>

                              <arg value="-keystore"/>

                              <arg value="${ios.keystore.file}"/>

                              <arg value="-storepass"/>

                              <arg value="${ios.keystore.password}"/>

                              <arg value="${name}.ipa"/>

                              <arg value="${name}-app.xml"/>

                              <arg value="${name}.swf"/>

                              <arg line="-extdir ../../bin/"/>

                              <arg line="-platformsdk"/>

                              <arg line="${ios.sdk}"/>

 

                    </java>

          </target>

And this is the error log:
