XCFramework Rework

[amorde]

Closes #9528
Closes #9670
Closes #9525

Requires CocoaPods/cocoapods-integration-specs#280

This PR reworks how xcframework are handled by moving the selection of the correct "slice" to the pod target instead of the aggregate target, similar to what was done in #9547

This also adds support for xcframeworks that wrap static libraries, as described in #9528.

Implementation Details

A new script phase Embed XCFrameworks is added to the Pod Target that contains the vendored xcframework. This script copies the correct slice (either a .framework or static lib + headers) to ${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/[xcframework_name]/. The existing Embed Frameworks script will then import the framework from ${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/[xcframework_name]/ to the target build directory.

${FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS} and/or ${LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS} now include ${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/[xcframework_name]/ if a relevant xcframework exists for a given host target.

${HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS} now includes ${PODS_XCFRAMEWORKS_BUILD_DIR}/[xcframework_name]/Headers if relevant static-library-based xcframeworks exist for a given host target.

@icecrystal23 @radazzouz would love if you could give this a try

[radazzouz]

Thanks for the heads up, @amorde!

I checked out this branch and the required submodule branch and building works on iOS (both simulator and device) and Mac Catalyst. However, the dSYMs are no longer present in the archives. dSYMs work great in 1.9.1 stable.

The BCSymbolMaps are working as expected.

Update: With a corrected Gemfile, this is working for the example project that was failing for me before 👍

@icecrystal23 you need to bump cocoapods-core gem to master as well.

[amorde]

Thank you both for testing this so quickly 🙏 will work on the dSYMs

[amorde]

@radazzouz dSYMs should be fixed!

[radazzouz]

@radazzouz dSYMs should be fixed!

I just pulled and retested and I confirm that dSYMs are not working again for both iOS and Mac Catalyst archives.

[amorde]

I tested with an iOS archive and was able to see dSYMs being included. Do you see a “Copy dSYMs” script build phase on the pod target?

[radazzouz]

Do you see a “Copy dSYMs” script build phase on the pod target?

Yes. This is what I am seeing:

[amorde]

I tried using the sample you provided for #9530 and I'm seeing the dSYMs in the archive

Have you tried the typical clean build / DerivedData / etc.? If so, do you see something like this at the bottom of the Copy dSYMs script?

would love to figure out why this isn't working for you

[radazzouz]

My apologies for the confusion, @amorde!

I mistyped in #9720 (comment) the dSYMs are working fine for me.

[amorde]

Oh great! No problem, thank you both for taking time to test this, much appreciated

Hello, can someone please look at this regression?

Currently experiencing vendored_frameworks + multiple xcframeworks broken. This appeared as a regression in our project after this work got merged in a later CocoaPods version. It looks like after the issue was caught no one has fixed it? I don't know what people are doing to work around it either.
