Archive fails: Issues with prepare_framework.sh

[pulkitsinghal]

Hello,

I was able to framework~ize my project thanks to the instructions in this github project!

I broke up my ElasticSearchClient into:
https://github.com/pulkitsinghal/ESClient
https://github.com/pulkitsinghal/ESClientDemo

iPhone and Simulator builds don't give me any trouble but when I try to archive a project which has been setup according to "Developing the Framework as a Dependent Project" instructions, I run into some issues with the last copy statement of prepare_framework.sh:

Cp: /Users/pulkitsinghal/dev/myapp/DerivedData/MyApp/Build/Intermediates/ArchiveIntermediates/MyApp/BuildProductsPath/Release-iphoneos/ESClient/Headers/: No such file or directory

I don't know why this pops up as a problem for only the Archive process. Can someone help?

I'm not saying that there is something wrong with iOS-Framework, I'm simply asking for some help to do more with it :)

@snej I have hit the same wall ... so did you have to settle for soft linking the framework? Or was there a workaround?

Developing frameworks in this fashion does not allow you to use the Archive utility sadly. You will need to explicitly copy the .framework out of the build directory when you want to distribute it.
