📒 Description

We would see this build error only on incremental builds.
From the documentation:

To allow fast and correct incremental builds, every build after the initial build uses information discovered during the prior builds to learn about additional dependencies in your source code, such as included headers or imported modules. This may lead to dependency cycles which are only discovered after the first successful build.

Did some experiments and this combination fixed the issue:

  1. In TogglDesktop target remove from the Build Phases Run Script (Fix dynamic library paths in Frameworks)
  2. Go to TogglDesktopLibrary target -> Build Phases
  3. Move "Copy File" section up so it is now above "Compile Sources"

🕶️ Types of changes

Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)

👫 Relationships

Closes #4067

🔎 Review hints

To reproduce the compile error you would do next:

  1. Clean project
  2. Build
  3. Change something in the library (e.g. add whitespace line to toggl_api.cc)
  4. Build
  5. Build again

At step 5 you'll get compile error: Cycle in dependencies between targets 'TogglDesktop' and 'TogglDesktopLibrary'.

After applying changes from PR this error should go away.

TODO

  • Test if GitHub Actions still work
  • Tested with release builds
  • Test and apply if needed to TogglDesktop-AppStore target

Even though your solution works well during the debugging session, but the absence of the Run Script (Fix dynamic library paths in Frameworks) would cause more serious problems on the production build.

If you try to archive the build and open it. The app will get crashed immediately.

Problem

  1. Linked paths of the Poco Libs and OpenSSL are invalid
$  otool -L /Users/nghiatran/Desktop/TogglDesktop/TogglDesktop.app/Contents/Frameworks/TogglDesktopLibrary.dylib

=> Poco libraries locates at usr/local/lib, which is incorrect.
=> It should be point to the libraryes in the Framework folder.
Such as

otool -L /Applications/TogglDesktop.app/Contents/Frameworks/TogglDesktopLibrary.dylib
/Applications/TogglDesktop.app/Contents/Frameworks/TogglDesktopLibrary.dylib:
	@loader_path/TogglDesktopLibrary.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)

	@loader_path/libPocoNet.60.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)

Thus, removing the script is not a good idea. I suggest keeping the file and maybe find alternative solution

On the other hand, we should apply the fix on "TogglDesktop-AppStore" target too 👍

@AndrewVebster Maybe, the migration to Framework could fix this problem. Ticket: https://github.com/toggl-open-source/toggldesktop/issues/4152
