How to build standalone static framework from pod?
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Carthage output a nice Tor.framework folder that I could bind to from C#. I've always taken this output to bind calls to the Objective-c and and reference the output Tor executable: https://github.com/chaincase-app/Xamarin.iOS.Tor
On pure_pod, I haven't figured out how to create this output executable. The scripts seem tailored to the _Pods environment and don't appear to build the framework on their own, nor do I see an option to build the framework so in xcode from the _Pods or Example environments. I haven't gotten Example/Tor to build because it says Tor/NSBundle+GeoIP.h file not found even after running pod install
How can we build a static Tor.framework to the latest version? The cocoapods release instructions don't seem to do this.
All the information is in the README.
If you can't handle a dynamic framework, as the default Podspec produces, you might want to try the experimental static library podspec.
If you never used CocoaPods, help yourself to knowledge here: https://cocoapods.org
If this is all unsuitable to you, you're welcome to send pull requests for the old Carthage-based branch: https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/
You should use the new --use-xcframeworks feature of Carthage to get compatible with Apple Silicon.
However, I'm done with Carthage. It's just highly annoying and awfully underdocumented. CocoaPods is not ideal either for a package like Tor.framework, as it forces the consumers to have all the build tools ready themselves, but it causes way less issues and is better documented and supported.
