xcframework project/code results with errors

[Atamanam]

Overview

I am integrating a .xcframework with Xamarin iOS project & did not find much of documentation, Upon opening a question in a Microsoft Q&A I was referred to #10046 where I found a sample xcframework with tests projects is also available https://github.com/spouliot/xcframework

Steps to Reproduce

1. Downloaded this code : https://github.com/spouliot/xcframework
2. Build for an iOS Simulator

Expected Behavior

Successfully build the App

Actual Behavior

Building the App results a error
/Library/Frameworks/Mono.framework/External/xbuild/Xamarin/iOS/Xamarin.Shared.targets(3,3): Error: ../../Universal.xcframework has an incorrect or unknown format and cannot be processed.

Example Project (If Possible)

#10046

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you please attach a sample project. I was able to successfully build it with the following steps:

• git clone git@github.com:spouliot/xcframework.git
• cd xcframework
• open Universal/Universal.xcodeproj
• Changed bundle id and team to match my local certs
• make
• Create new binding project
• Copy Universal.xcframework to the new binding project
• Add to native references
• Select in native references -> Properties
• Set it as a Framework
  
• Build

Build succeeded.
    0 Warning(s)
