Build x86_64 version for simulator as part of build in M1 mac about icu4c-iosx HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi,

try 71.1.3

from icu4c-iosx.

Hey @apotocki, thanks for the super quick reply + turnaround. Sorry I think I misled you when I mentioned the M1. The idea is that all architectures should be built in all scenarios, so for example on an M1 machine it should build x86 and arm, but on an x86 machine it should also build arm. The change on 71.1.3 works on an M1 but fails on an x86 (you can see the result here: https://github.com/kerrmarin/nmbr-icu/runs/6904948322?check_suite_focus=true)

from icu4c-iosx.

The project's primary purpose is to build all the binaries that, in principle, may be needed for ios development on the particular development machine. I understand why we can need x86_64 simulator builds on M1 Mac: we may want to run x86_64 Simulator through Rosetta on Mac M1. But the reverse situation is not applicable - It's impossible to run arm64 Simulator on x86_64 Mac. So I think it's useless to build arm64 Simulator binaries if a developer has Intel Mac.

@apotocki fair enough. I appreciate your explanation. However this means that this library cannot be used as a dependency of another podspec, since the spec that depends on this one won't pass validation on an x86 machine. See the link in my previous comment for an example of an x86 machine trying to lint a very simple podspec that has this spec as a dependency.

Your last release unblocked me however so feel free to close this issue.

Thanks again!

Perhaps sometimes it's better to do things for the sake of convenience. Try 71.1.4

from icu4c-iosx.

Thanks @apotocki
