Journaling Suggestions is not available on iOS Simulator

Hey, when I try to run my project on an iOS Simulator, I get the following message:

JournalingSuggestions is not available when building for iOS Simulator.

and

Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Steps to reproduce this behavior:

  • Create a new Xcode project
  • Add the Journaling Suggestions Capability
  • Add the Journaling Suggestions Framework
  • Under "Target > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries", select “optional“ for JournalingSuggestions.framework
  • Under "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Debug" select „Plus“ and add „iOS or iOS Simulator“ and paste this -Xlinker -weak_framework -Xlinker JournalingSuggestions into the editable field.
  • Do the same for "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Release"

This tread is about the same problem, but is already checked as answered. That's why I'm creating this new tread.

The last two bullet points are results from advice from the other thread.

MacBook Air, M1, 2020, macOS: 14.6.1, Xcode: 16.0

Thanks for your help!

It’s better if you reply as a reply rather than in the comments. That makes it more likely I’ll see your reply. See Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips for this and other titbits.

As to your specific questions, I recommend that you:

  1. Work through the steps in my post from yesterday to see if you can reproduce what I did.

  2. If not, reply back with details about where my steps went wrong for you.

Oh, and it’d be better to reply on that other thread; there’s no point have two threads going for this.

Okay, I'll answer in the other thread!
