iOS CocoaPod that uses a separately distributed framework

My project involves creating a CocoaPod for public distribution that wraps functionality of a separate framework. The end-user project implements our wrapper and we deal with the complex system underneath. This means that our Pod references that separate framework but the end-user project does not.

I have had trouble working out how to automate the set up of the separate framework from within the podspec file. As it stands now, any time we run pod install we must add the framework to the Pod target for the methods to be correctly referenced. This may become a problem for other clients that use our Pod.

Is there a way to use the podspec settings to add a .framework file to the overall project?

Can you package that framework as a pod and declare it as a dependency for your pod? – Paulw11 Mar 06 '20 at 21:13

Have you looked into declaring your framework as a `vendored_framework`? See http://guides.cocoapods.org/syntax/podspec.html#vendored_frameworks – Gereon Mar 06 '20 at 21:16
@Paulw Hmm, interesting option. I'll look into it. – MechEngineer Mar 06 '20 at 21:16
@Gereon I looked at that option many times but couldn't get it to do what I wanted. I'll try it again. – MechEngineer Mar 06 '20 at 21:17
