How to write a build script to change framework from "Do not Embed" to "Embed and sign"

[majeed-platogo]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a custom plugin in the plugins plugin.xml, I have the following line

<source-file src="src/ios/bass.xcframework" target-dir="lib" framework="true" />

when the build is completed the app is stuck on the splashscreen.

But, if i navigate projectName -> General -> Frameworks, Library and embedded Content and switch from Do not Embed to Embed and sign the app works.

So, my question is how can I automate this step during my build process so i don't have to manually do it every time

I think you want to use the framework tag instead.

I have an example usage which does exactly what you want in an older plugin that I used to maintain: https://github.com/totalpaveinc/cordova-plugin-libsqlite/blob/main/plugin.xml#L22

It does require improvements added in cordova-ios 7. If I recall correctly, older versions it was impossible to embed AND link at the same time, because linking was always the inverse of embedding. The PR merged for 7.0.0 release effectively adds the link directive allowing you to both embed and link. Therefore for this to work properly you'll also need to be using cordova-ios@^7.
