IOS OnPostProcessBuild Embedding Framework On Unity 5.6.x

Hi,

Currently we're having problem on ios OnPostProcessBuild.
Our third party that we use, recently released an update that use an editor extensions which only supported on Unity 2017.x. and up

There are two lines that are problematic

using UnityEditor.iOS.Xcode.Extensions; // This is not available on 5.6.5



var projPath = Path.Combine(buildPath, "Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj");

var project = new PBXProject();

project.ReadFromString(File.ReadAllText(projPath));

var target = project.TargetGuidByName("Unity-iPhone");

var fileGuid = project.FindFileGuidByProjectPath("Frameworks/Plugins/iOS/SDKX.framework");



project.AddFileToEmbedFrameworks(target, fileGuid); // This is not available on 5.6.5

Both the Xcode.Extensions and AddFileToEmbedFrameworks is not available.
From what I can tell from the code, it is trying to add framework file, say SDKX.framework, into the PBXProject.

Can somebody point out any same code which have the same effect that would work on 5.6.5?

We're still using unity 5.6.5p3 and currently updating Unity to 2017.x is not an option for us.
There are probably things that are going to break (our other third party libs) by updating our Unity, this is a long project that has been developed using 5.6.5 from the beginning, and have been released and maintained on the store.

Thank you very much for the help!

@Frankie-Lee I applied the accepted answer from here https://answers.unity.com/questions...ation-api-t.html?page=1&pageSize=5&sort=votes (mihakinova answer)

If you don't want to use his source, basically you just need to clone https://bitbucket.org/Unity-Technologies/xcodeapi/src/stable/ and add it into your project. Then define the preprocessor UNITY_XCODE_API_BUILD
After this you get those missing editor extension functions and you're good to go

 

Sorry for the silly question, but how to define the preprocessor UNITY_XCODE_API_BUILD?

 

Go to File -> Build Settings -> Other Settings -> Scripting Define Symbols
Put the UNITY_XCODE_API_BUILD preprocessor macro there

 

Thanks ermesb. Anyway, in order to make bitbucket xcodeapi to work, you DON't have to put UNITY_XCODE_API_BUILD preprocessor. This preprocessor is used to force Unity use the embedded Xcode API.
