We use a local swift package in 6 of our app extensions. The product from the local package that we link to each app extension is a dynamic framework. And while the dynamic framework is copied into the final app bundle once, the resource bundles of each target that comprise the dynamic framework is copied into each app extension. I'd much rather have the bundles be copied into the dynamic framework once to prevent app bloat.
Here is a visualization of the issue:
.
└── MyApp.ipa/
├── MyApp (executable)
├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
├── Frameworks/
│ └── MyDynamicFramework.framework/
│ ├── TargetA
│ ├── TargetB
│ └── TargetC
└── PlugIns/
├── Widgets.appex/
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
│ └── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
├── Intents.appex/
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
│ └── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
├── IntentsUI.appex/
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
│ └── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
├── NotificationContent.appex/
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
│ └── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
├── RichPushContent.appex/
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
│ ├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
│ └── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
└── NotificationService.appex/
├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetA.bundle
├── MyDynamicFramework_TargetB.bundle
└── MyDynamicFramework_TargetC.bundle
Notice that the resource bundles of Target A, B, and C are copied multiple times causing an unhealthy app size.
I'd either like the resource bundles to be copied into MyDynamicFramework
or copied once into the app bundle and let the app extensions reference them.
Given the SPM + Xcode linking is a black box for the most part, how would I accomplish this?
