Distributing Binary Frameworks in Swift

Xcode releases 8.0 and 8.1 betas all contained the following in the release notes:


Distributing binary Swift frameworks remains unsupported in Xcode 8. (25680392)


The Xcode 8.1 GA release notes and Xcode 8.2 beta release notes no longer include this statement. Does this mean that the distribution of iOS frameworks for consumption by 8.1 or later Xcodes is supported or is this just a release note omisssion/mistake that this statement was removed?

No.

Having a stable ABI is a goạl for Swift 4 Stage 1 but that won’t necessarily get you what you want. Consider the swiftmodule stability section of this post.
