xcode-script-cross_platform_framework

A script for creating a cross-platfrom framework for xcode 8.

Instructions

A. Include the script into my framework target

1. Click on the project file

2. Select your framework target into target column

3. Go to Build Phases

4. Click on '+' icon and select "New run script phase"

   a new entry called 'Run Script' will appear:

5. Copy and paste the script into the 'Run Script' box and replace <Put_your_target_name_here> with $(TARGET_NAME)

6. Compile this target

B. Include the script into an Aggregate

Suppose that 'nonscript_framework' already exists (and it hasn't the script define previously)

1. Click on the project file

2. Create the aggregate clicking into '+' of Project and Targets column

3. In the new window select 'cross-platform' and the 'Aggregate'

4. Choose a name for your aggregate and click on "Finish"

5. Go to Build Phases in your aggregate

6. In "Target Dependencies" select '+' and add the base framework

7. Click on '+' icon and select "New run script phase"

8. Copy and paste the script into the 'Run Script' box and replace <Put_your_target_name_here> with your framework name, in our example 'nonscript_framework'

9. Compile this target

Notes:

• English commented script here
• Spanish commented script here
• Make sure the selected 'shell' is /bin/sh in your Run Script
• If you want a Debug framework -> compile with an iphonesimulator into scheme (or any debug scheme)
• If you want a Release framework -> archive target or select any release scheme
• You could find an example here. The xcode example include how to add Objective-C and Swift files into the framework.
• Remember you could replace the <Put_your_target_name_here> alias with $(TARGET_NAME) when no using aggregates. Example:

TARGET="${TARGET_NAME}"

• You can check the architectures with:

lipo -info <framework_name>.framework/<framework_name>
