Build framework with multiple targets

Question

I have a project, that is divided into few targets ( Cocoa Touch Frameworks ). Some of these targets depends on others. I would like to create a single framework from this, that will contain all the targets , so that I can just import this framework into new application, and use all the code inside all of my targets . How can this be achieved? I have read something about Umbrella frameworks , but I couldn't make it work.

This is how the project is divided into targets:

 - Observation
 - BackgroundTask
 - Placement
 - ZIPFoundation
 - NetworkOperation   Dependencies - Observation
 - LocationService    Dependencies - Observation, BackgroundTask, Placement
 - World              Dependencies - Observation, LocationService
 - AugmentedReality   Dependencies - Observation, LocationService
 - FindloAR           Dependencies - AugmentedReality, NetworkOperation, World, Placement, Observation, ZIPFoundation

And from all this I would like to create a single universal framework , named: FindloFramework for iOS

Could someone guide me on how to do this?

Answer 1

This is not currently possible on iOS. Umbrella frameworks are Mac only.

I've had conversations with Apple engineers at WWDC about this, and have submitted a bug. My guess is they're trying to minimize the amount of dynamic linking occurring at runtime.

You need to take all your code and put it into a single framework target.
