Linker Issues

Created a new project and imported a Swift Package that essentially is the gateway to an entire existing app. Getting the following build errors: does this point at a Dependency incorrectly setup?

The symbols are derived from swift-dependencies-additions which I have not explicitly added as a dependency

Did you add this dependency to your Package.swift? Can you post that file? (Note that adding the dependency via Xcode's "Package Dependencies" will not work).

Okay, some progress here but only through the CLI. Ha. I've managed to get gradle -p ../Android launchDebug to work through the CLI but when I try to run the app in Xcode I get the same errors

Taking a look at the errors in the log, you have a couple that will need special handing to build on Android:

/Users/rehat/Developer/Repositories/mutant/.build/checkouts/Vortex/Sources/Vortex/Resources/DefaultSymbols.swift:11:63: error: type 'Bundle' has no member 'module'
 9 | /// Set up static variables for  images(symbols) in the asset catalog contained within the Resources folder
10 | extension Image {
11 |     public static let circle = Image("circle", bundle: Bundle.module)
   |                                                               `- error: type 'Bundle' has no member 'module'
12 |     public static let confetti = Image("confetti", bundle: Bundle.module)
13 |     public static let sparkle = Image("sparkle", bundle: Bundle.module)

This package would need to import SkipFuse to be able to use Skip's handing of Bundle.module.

and:

[51/364] Compiling Vortex VortexView.swift
/Users/rehat/Developer/Repositories/mutant/.build/checkouts/Vortex/Sources/Vortex/Views/VortexView.swift:45:50: error: cannot infer contextual base in reference to member 'plusLighter'
 43 |             Group {
 44 |                 Image.circle
 45 |                     .frame(width: 16).blendMode(.plusLighter).tag("circle")
    |                                                  `- error: cannot infer contextual base in reference to member 'plusLighter'

I think SkipUI doesn't yet support .blendMode. You might be able to elide that modifier within an #if !os(Android) block.

More generally, though, I think you should approach the project in smaller pieces: see which packages can compile individually with skip android build and fix them individually before you try to bring them all into your app project at once.

I guess I'm curious as to why the following builds just as expected but not through Xcode? Is there something wrong with the build phase?

Also, I found this breakdown interesting

The above gist is after removing the dependency on Vortex

3. Swift pre‐build command error: wrong package-path
   You see:

the package at '/Users/rehat/Users/rehat/…/halfway-cocoa/Root' cannot be accessed
Notice the doubled /Users/rehat/Users/rehat: your Swift build invocation is using the wrong working directory. That swift‐build is coming from the Skip plugin’s pre-build hook:

running pre-build command: swift build --triple … --package-path /Users/rehat/Developer/Repositories/mutant

But your actual Cocoa package sits in mutant/halfway-cocoa/Root.
Fix: In your Skip Gradle plugin config (often in skip.properties or build.gradle(.kts)), set the correct packagePath. For example:

skip.swift.packagePath=../halfway-cocoa/Root
