Is it possible to create xcframework from Xcode IDE ?

Hi,


As per documentation, we can create xcframework in 2 steps :

1: Creating archive for different platforms (example 1 for iphoneos and 1 for macosx)

2: Create xcframework using the command line option - xcodebuild -create-xcframework.


Is it possible to create xcframework from Xcode IDE similar to creating ".framework" from Xcode IDE ?


I couldn't find any utility from Xcode IDE to build xcframeworks.



Thanks and Regards,

Himanshu

This isn't possible with Xcode 11. Please file an enhancement request.

What we ended up with, run a small custom script as a pre-compile build step for each target that depends on the xcframework. The naïve approach is to check that the directory exists. It could be improved by triggering a build of the default target of the project that produces the xcframework, and proceeding to the script if that build is not nop.

Not exactly what you ask I know, but here is another alternative on the command-line, maybe you can add to your CI line even (didn't try that). It's a Command Line Tool to create XCFrameworks:
