Linker error with c file and .h header file

I have an Xcode project where I am using C to handle a low level task so I created the C file and the bridging header. However, I am getting a linker error when I try to build my project: "Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)"

Here is my .c file :

#include <stdio.h>
#include <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>


typedef struct {
    uint32_t datasize;
    uint32_t datatype;
    uint8_t data[32];
    
} SMCVal_t;


io_connect_t conn;

kern_return_t openSMC(void) {
    
    kern_return_t result;
    kern_return_t service;
    io_iterator_t iterator;
    
    service = IOServiceGetMatchingServices(kIOMainPortDefault, IOServiceMatching("AppleSMC"), &iterator);
    if(service == 0) {
        printf("error: could not match dictionary");
        return 0;
    }
    result = IOServiceOpen(service, mach_task_self(), 0, &conn);
    IOObjectRelease(service);
    return 0;
}

    
kern_return_t closeSMC(void) {
    return IOServiceClose(conn);
}

double getTemperature(char *key);
    
kern_return_t readSMC(char *key, SMCVal_t *val) {

    kern_return_t result;
    uint32_t keyCode = *(uint32_t *)key;
    
    SMCVal_t inputStruct;
    SMCVal_t outputStruct;
    
    inputStruct.datasize = sizeof(SMCVal_t);
    inputStruct.datatype = 'I' << 24;            //a left shift operation. turning the I into an int by shifting the ASCII value 24 bits to the left
    
    inputStruct.data[0] = keyCode;
    result = IOConnectCallStructMethod(conn, 5, &inputStruct, sizeof(SMCVal_t), &outputStruct, (size_t*)&inputStruct.datasize);
    
    if (result == kIOReturnSuccess) {
        if (val -> datasize > 0) {
            if (val -> datatype == ('f' << 24 | 'l' << 16 | 't' << 8 )) {
                float temp = *(float *)val -> data;
                return temp;
            }
        }
    }
    return 0.0;
    
}

    
int main(void) {
    
    kern_return_t result;
    
    result = openSMC();
    
    if(result == kIOReturnSuccess) {
        double temp = getTemperature("TC0P");
        printf("temp: %.2f\n", temp);
        
        result = closeSMC();
    }
    return 0;
}

and below here is my corresponding header file:

#ifndef getsmc_h
#define getsmc_h
#include <stdio.h>
#include <IOKit/IOKitLib.h>

typedef struct {
    
    uint32_t datasize;
    uint32_t datatype;
    uint32_t data[32];
    
} SMCVal_t;

kern_return_t openSMC(void);
kern_return_t closeSMC(void);
kern_return_t readSMC(char *key, SMCVal_t *val);

double getTemperature(char *key);

#endif /* getsmc_h */

Your C file has only the declaration line

double getTemperature(char *key);

Later, this function is accessed in your main function in the line

            double temp = getTemperature("TC0P");

Since there's no getTemperature function for the linker to link to, this would cause a linker error to occur.

On a side note, your C file doesn't include your header file, so it doesn't have any effect on the compilation and linking.
