Building for iOS

[Selby]

We have a Xamarin iOS app, and when we tried to build it with support for Test Studio (according to these instructions: http://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/test-studio-mobile/native-applications/configure-your-app/xamarin) our developer got build errors which has so far prevented us from using automated testing.

Hi Selby,

Thank you for choosing Telerik Test Studio. 

Please let me know the tool you develop the application with and what these build errors are. Could you please provide the logs? Thank you in advance for the cooperation!

Elena,

We develop our app using both Xamarin Studio and Microsoft Visual Studio (as we have developers on both Mac OS and Windows.) Here is a screenshot provided to me by one of our developers which contains the build errors: http://prnt.sc/cq370s

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Selby,

Thanks for getting back to us with further details. It seems that your application references to the PLCrash library which is also in use by mobile testing library itself. This is what is causing the conflicts you get when linking the application for testing. To resolve the encountered issue you have two approaches. One thing to do is to exclude the library from the configured app - it shouldn’t be a problem since it is a test one. The other thing is to set the SmartLink flag to true in LinkWith attribute for the library in question. Please have a look on this forum thread describing a similar conflict issue. The proposed solutions are listed in the second reply in the thread along with the attribute I suggested. 

I hope this information will be helpful to you. Please let me know if you need any further assistance! Thanks!
