@t0mmar I just updated the tunnel, library and VPN repositories.

@t0mmar take a look at this commit on the tunnel project

pia-foss/tunnel-apple@8bc012a

you should do the same in your custom implementation or use tunnel_by_git('8bc012a') and library_by_git('78663b6')

Same issue faced by me @DonsWayo , any solutions ?

Hello guys,

Sorry for the late reply!

The problem is compiling the openssl framework with the current version of Xcode and support old iOS SDK at the same time. (you need the iOS9 or iOS10 SDK installed in the computer).

If you change your min version to iOS 11 in the Podfile the problem will be fixed. If you want to keep iOS9 or iOS10, you must follow these steps:

Download Xcode 7 from Apple
Install Xcode 7 in Applications/xcode7
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/xcode7/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Clean all the pod cache from the computer
pod install ... etc
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
I hope this can help you guys!

Regards,
Jose.

I have a fork with a CI build that used to work with the above xcode-select -switch technique, but it started failing with the same error now - something changed:

Installing OpenSSL-Apple (1.1.0h)

Updating Podfile iOS to 11 works for 'pod install', but the project target 'PIA VPN' fails to build even after setting project iOS deployment target to ios11:

@ueshiba Same error after changing the Pod targer version to IOS 11.0

It looks like open SSL is not available in the repository anymore ?

[ueshiba]

Hi guys, the author of the OpenSSL-Apple project has set the min version to iOS11.

As a quick fix, we need to change the min version to iOS 11 and make this change in the Podfile:

pod 'OpenSSL-Apple', '~> 1.1.0j.2'

[t0mmar]

I don't see an explicit reference to OpenSSL-Apple in this project. Is this change needed in the tunnel-apple project instead perhaps? Will someone from the PIA team update it?

[ueshiba]

Hi @t0mmar

Yes, you need to change the tunnel-apple project.

I pushed the changes to a release branch (https://github.com/pia-foss/tunnel-apple/tree/release/2.0.2). You can use the commit hash d4b062d.

Anyway you will need to update the min iOS version and set iOS11 in the this project and in the library if you are using it.

Regards,
Jose.

[t0mmar]

Hmm, still not having much luck building the workspace itself :(

[ueshiba]

Did you pod cache clean 'OpenSSL-Apple' --all before run the pod install again?

[t0mmar]

Thanks for the tip @ueshiba! I've tried that, cleared all the pods even, but I'm still getting the same set of errors.

[ueshiba]

Hello @t0mmar

Can you update the PIATunnel commit to 8bc012a?

Thanks

[t0mmar]

@ueshiba - I still get a few errors, but much less and different. It sounds like they're related to the library. Is there a new library commit hash that I should be using as well?

[ueshiba]

@t0mmar Yes, the errors are now related with the PIALibrary (because you don't have the latest). The latest commit is f88e06c but this project is not going to compile because the PIAX code is not public yet...

I hope to release the latest code very soon in the three projects, give me a couple of days.

Regards,
Jose

[t0mmar]

@ueshiba - what's the status of these updates? still in progress?

[ueshiba]

I am still waiting to receive the approval to push the code and update the develop and master repo. Hopefully maybe today or tomorrow.

[t0mmar]

Thanks @ueshiba !

Just to verify, because I don't see any new commits to pia-foss/vpn-ios, the latest master should now work? With the following versions in the Podspec?

    library_by_git('12d542c')
    tunnel_by_git('4eff5ca')

[ueshiba]

closing this issue because the problem is solved.
