Please help. Seeing issues with Hub when integrating

[rpatnayakuni22]

Hello, I'm trying to integrate WhisperKit via https://github.com/argmaxinc/WhisperKit/blob/main/Package.swift but that seems to bring in swift-transformers and Hub. I'm seeing issues as below

Hub.package.swiftinterface:34:32: warning: 'BinaryDistinctCharacter' is not a member type of struct 'Hub.Hub'
23:54:09 32 | public init(_ str: Foundation.NSString)
23:54:09 33 | public init(_ str: Swift.String)
23:54:09 34 | public init(_ character: Hub.BinaryDistinctCharacter)
23:54:09 | `- warning: 'BinaryDistinctCharacter' is not a member type of struct 'Hub.Hub'
23:54:09 35 | public init(_ characters: [Hub.BinaryDistinctCharacter])
23:54:09 36 | public init(stringLiteral value: Swift.String

I'm on xcode 16.4 and using swift 5.10. Please help!! Thanks in advance!

Hello @rpatnayakuni22, the following manifest builds correctly for me:

// swift-tools-version: 5.9
// The swift-tools-version declares the minimum version of Swift required to build this package.

import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "swift-transformers-237",
    platforms: [.macOS(.v13)],
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/argmaxinc/WhisperKit.git", from: "0.13.1"),
    ],
    targets: [
        .executableTarget(
            name: "swift-transformers-237",
            dependencies: ["WhisperKit"],
        ),
    ]
)

Do you have a way to reproduce?

[rpatnayakuni22]

I'm only using it for iOS project and it builds fine locally and archives fine locally. On CI it's failing, though it's same xcode version on CI.

Then maybe it's your CI? What's the actual error it gives? (those above appear to be warnings)

[rpatnayakuni22]

Mainly 2 errors
'BinaryDistinctCharacter' is not a member type of struct 'Hub.Hub'
'BinaryDistinctString' is not a member type of struct 'Hub.Hub'

These were both introduced here: #189

[rpatnayakuni22]

So, if I pin somehow the version to 0.1.20 it may work??

[rpatnayakuni22]

I tried pinning 0.1.20. But did not work as well.

Hi @rpatnayakuni22. I'm sorry that you're having trouble getting this to work. We're having trouble reproducing this problem ourselves. Can you please share more information about your CI workflow and your Xcode project configuration? (For example, the contents of (YourProject).xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/xcshareddata/swiftpm/Package.resolved)

[rpatnayakuni22]

Thanks Matt for your response!!

I was integrating WhisperKit into our library first (which has a podspec) and then consume that podspec and Podfile in the App to build the app. We were on iOS18/swift 5.7/xcode16.4. So, for now, I updated this one library to swift5.10 and use the right Collections and Transformers that support swift5.10.

OurPackage-Resolved.rtf

I had to downgrade and use gem 'cocoapods-spm', '0.1.17' (Latest version seems to be the problem)

Add below in podspec
spec.ios.deployment_target = '18.0'
spec.swift_version = '5.10'

spec.spm_dependency 'WhisperKit/WhisperKit'
spec.spm_dependency 'FluidAudio/FluidAudio'
spec.spm_dependency 'swift-transformers/Transformers'
spec.spm_dependency 'swift-collections/Collections'

Podfile

SPM Dependencies

spm_pkg 'WhisperKit', :url => 'https://github.com/argmaxinc/WhisperKit.git', :branch => 'main'
spm_pkg 'FluidAudio', :url => 'https://github.com/FluidInference/FluidAudio.git', :branch => 'main'
spm_pkg 'swift-transformers', :url => 'https://github.com/huggingface/swift-transformers.git', :tag => '0.1.20', :products => ['Transformers']
spm_pkg 'swift-collections', :url => 'https://github.com/apple/swift-collections.git', :tag => '1.1.4', :products => ['Collections']

On CI the library is created as a fat library and then I'm trying to use that in the App.
This setup seems to work for me for now!! Thanks again!

Thanks for the details @rpatnayakuni22, they could be useful to others that use cocoapods! Closing the issue then.
