I have a framework target in Xcode 11.x to build a Dynamic framework with statically linking some 3rd party libraries

Code Block using pod file.
platform :ios, '9.0'
#use_frameworks!
target 'Framework' do
pod 'DeviceUtil', '~> 2.0'
end

Now I have a requirement to build a Static framework, and for this I changed the "Mach-O' type to Static Library in 'Framework's' target build settings and able to create Static framework. The generated framework shows all architectures correctly (for architecture i386): (current ar archive random library for all architecutres x8664, armv7 & arm64)._ But the Static framework does not included 3rd party libraries within the Framework binary.

How to generate a Static framework using Xcode11.x which includes other 3rd party libs in its binary? Also changing "Mach-O" type is good enough to generate a Static framework or is there any other way that I am missing?

I am currently having the same requirement as you did one year ago. Have you got any answers to this question? I can't find any useful resources which would explain building a static framework with pod dependencies
