Technical Note TN2435

Embedding Frameworks In An App

<https://developer.apple.com/library/content/technotes/tn2435/_index.html>

I believe your issue will be addressed by upgrading to Xcode 8. You may need to setup the link dependancies again as per the Tech Note, but after doing so, what you describe should work. If it doesn’t, please file a bug report, and let me know the number.

iOS, Xcode 7.3.1

I have a workspace that references two projects
Within project 1, it builds a framework.
Within project 2, it builds 5 static libs, and a target app that links to these libs.

Project 2's target is dependent upon created in framework in project 1.

Project 2's target is linked to the framework from project 1 in the Build Phases of project 2's target app

These two projects are within the same workspace.

How in hell do i add the framework from project 1 as a dependency to the target iOS app of project 2?

NOTHING works. Trying to click + in the Build Phases, Add Dependencies section of project 2's target app refuses to see the framework.
Dragging the framework from the projects output into the Dependencies section will not work. Xcode refuses to accept the framework as a dependency, no matter what I do.

I can't tell you frustrating this is. Why is this not allowed?
