Description
make-fmwk
make-fmwk is a super handy open-source Bash script that helps you compile and package your static library projects into a neat .staticframework for iOS apps. Pretty cool, right?
How to Get Started with make-fmwk
To kick things off, you'll want to run the make-fmwk script from the folder that has your .xcodeproj file. This way, it can whip up a pseudo-bundle that’s ready for deployment in no time!
.staticframework Basics
Now, let’s talk about .staticframeworks. They’re created based on configurations because a universal binary can only hold one binary per platform. All the details about how everything gets compiled are packed inside the framework as a plist manifest file.
Avoiding Resource Conflicts
If you're merging framework resources with others, or even with app resources, make sure to give all your resource files a little prefix using the name of your framework. This will help avoid any naming issues down the line! Alternatively, you can embed them into a bundle.
Where Your Frameworks Live
The generated .staticframework file usually hangs out in a common ~/StaticFrameworks directory that acts like your own personal framework repository. But if you want to store it somewhere else, you can easily change the output folder by using the -o option. Don’t worry; other build products will still be saved in their usual build directory.
