Including CoreML in a Swift project for a watch app fails to compile.
Unsure if this is a Swift compilation issue or related to the frameworks or Xcode.
Any assistance would be great.

Steps to Repro:

  1. Create a new Watch App project using Xcode 12 beta 1 (12A6159)
  2. In the ExtensionDelegate add import CoreML
  3. Add let _ = MLPredictionOptions() in applicationDidFinishLaunching()

Getting this error:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_OBJC_CLASS_$_MLPredictionOptions", referenced from:
      objc-class-ref in ExtensionDelegate.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

When trying to add CoreML directly to the project Frameworks I get this error:

ld: framework not found CoreML
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

There must be something wrong with the build settings (or the wrong SDK is getting used)... It's looking for x86_64 while building for a watch which seems very off; I think all the watches use arm architectures.

Also, this should be in the 'Using Swift' category, not Development/Compiler. Development is for people contributing to the toolchain and core libraries, and Development/Compiler is for contributing to the compiler.

This is likely for the watchOS simulator, which is x86_64.

@BobbyRohweder You may need to manually link the CoreML framework on watchOS, as that system seems to have issues with automatic linking sometimes.

@Jon_Shier what's the best way to link CoreML manually?

I've added it to my "Link Binary with Libraries" build step and I still get ld: framework not found CoreML when linking x86_64. I can see -framework CoreML in the link command.

Other Linker Flags is what I meant, where you can manually add -framework CoreML, but if that's already there then it won't help.

@Jon_Shier is correct. This turned out to be a bug in the framework SDK - it should be addressed in a coming beta release of Xcode. Unfortunately, there is no workaround.
