Use different framework for device and simulator

Question

I am getting two builds of the same codebase delivered as two separate frameworks: one for iOS device and one for simulator

Is there a way to conditionally include one or the other depending on the target of my app?

Answer 1

您可以编写脚本阶段，以使用某些条件（可能是目标体系结构）替换框架文件。

Answer 2

Here is the solution. Assume the frameworks for iOS device and simulator are at folders $device resp. $simulator . The merged framework will go into $merged :

• Copy everything from $simulator into $merged
• Copy everything from $device into $merged (for sure this will overwrite same-named binaries we copied in the step before, but we just want to make sure we have everything else (module mappings etc.); the actual merging of same-named binaries happens in the next step)
• For each binary (main and *.dylib) with name $name that exists both in $simulator and $device , do: lipo -create $device/name $simulator/$name -output $merged/$name

The above can easily be automated with a script.

I verified the approach with a set of frameworks we use with Flutter and it works. The easiest way is to add the $merged folder as a vendored framework into the podspec file
