[FR] PodfileStaticLinkFrameworks both option

[tny-cesilco]

Feature proposal

• EDM4U Component: iOS Resolver

Is it possible to has option to append both use_frameworks! :linkage => :static and use_frameworks! to the podfile?

It seem as though some packages combination should have both line in the podfile (Most might use use_frameworks! static but facebook need normal use_frameworks! to work)

Or it didn't need to?

Hi @tny-cesilco, thanks for filing this feature request.

From my understanding, specifying use_frameworks! means using a dynamic linking, which means linking your frameworks at runtime. While use_frameworks! :linkage => :static means the frameworks are fully compiled in the executable during build.

As far as I know, you can only have use_frameworks! or use_frameworks! :linkage => :static on each Podfile. If you'd like to have a mix of static and dynamic dependencies, you're going to have to do a few tweaks, something similar to this.

We could consider an option which allow users to select if they'd want their dependencies being linked statically or dynamically. However, we are unable to promise any timeline for now, but we'll definitely keep this under our radar.

Pull requests and ideas how this may work are also highly welcomed.

P.S. For folks who find this useful, adding an emoji thumbs up on the original post can help us prioritize this feature.

Thank you very much for your explanation. I think this specific problem then should be solved by facebook themselves
