Static Library Targets Do Not Support Resources

[iteracticman]

What problem or need do you have?

When trying to use a Target with type .staticLibrary that contains resources tuist generate fails with error message "Target ... cannot contain resources. static library targets do not support resource". At least when used in Projects where both disableSynthesizedResourceAccessors and disableBundleAccessors are set to true.

This probably makes sense, but the there should be hint in the error message that this would be possible is those settings were changed.

Note: Maybe the same/similar issue for .staticFramework targets.

This is a good point. For whoever takes this, is a matter of improving the error message to indicate that by disabling the synthesizing features, you are also preventing libraries from having resources through an auto-generated bundle
