Greetings,
I have a project that references several XCFrameworks that I don't want to store in my repo along with the project due to their size.
So I've set it up with a local copy and make it compile without errors.
And now I'm trying to remove the local copies of the frameworks and fetch them from a remote server at the build time.
But I'm getting errors that frameworks are not available.
This approach worked previously with the regular frameworks
Does anyone know if it's possible to fetch XCFramework dependencies as a dependency target/build phase in the Xcode project?
It would be safer to run this as a pre-build script so the files are copied locally before the build begins to reduce any problems with network connectivity fluctuating mid-build or a race between targets in a parallel build. You can automate this in Xcode by using a feature of the scheme called a build pre-action. When you go to edit your scheme, open the disclosure triangle on the Build action, and you'll see 3 options, Pre-actions, Build, and Post-actions. You can add a shell script to the pre-action that does the copy.
