GCDWebServer will not work on Xcode 13

[harleyjcooper]

Currently, when using GCDWebServer on Xcode 12, it produces a warning of the format The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 14.0.99.

This means that it will be incompatible with Xcode 13, when it comes out.

As a result, the ios deployment version should eventually get bumped to 9.0.

I pushed #529 to fix the issue

Any news when the PR might get merged?

If you use Cocoapos, you can fix this by following https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/9884#issuecomment-696222756

@swisspol any chance this could get merged sometime soon? 🙏🏽

@mstralka instead of explicitly setting a deployment target, you can instead delete them from the pods, causing them to inherit the top-level deployment target.

example:

platform :ios, '13.0'

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'GCDWebServer'
  
  # thanks to https://stackoverflow.com/a/64048124
  post_install do |installer|
    installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
      target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings.delete 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'
      end
    end
  end
end
