Hi @RichAppz, thank you for writing in about this issue. Could you please help us understand a little bit more about your use case? What kind of extension are you building?

[davidme-stripe]

@RichAppz Should be fixed in master: Can you try pointing your Podfile to the master branch? For example:

target 'MyAppExtension' do
  platform :ios, '13.0'
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'StripeApplePay', git: 'https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ios.git', branch: 'master'
  pod 'StripeCore', git: 'https://github.com/stripe/stripe-ios.git', branch: 'master'
end

I have the same problem, and it still doesn't work. (23.16.0)

It still doesn't work for me with xcode 15 and 23.18.2...
But is for STPRedirectContext
Someone have any solution ?

[davidme-stripe]

Thanks for the info! Can you share what you're trying to do in the App Extension? STPRedirectContext won't work in an App Extension, as it needs to be able to launch app-to-app redirects, which are not available in App Extensions.

I only have Stripe in my pods un use in 1 class in the main app. But this app contains a submodule, a watch app extension and a Today widget extension. Those extensions does not import Stripe.

And when i try to build my app i got this

[davidme-stripe]

@pascalguizard Can you check your Podfile to confirm that the Stripe pods are not being included in your watch app or Today widget targets? There may also be an https://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podfile.html#inherit_bang entry in one of those targets causing it to build Stripe for application extensions.

If not, it's possible that you're encountering this issue: CocoaPods/CocoaPods#12093

Let me know if that's the case, and we'll keep looking for a solution. Thanks!
