Filip Maj commented on CB-2718:
-------------------------------
CB-2717 is resolved but I'm not sure it changes this issue.
What do you guys think? It's been a while and I think the dust has settled
enough now, [~anis].
> .a files cannot be installed properly, it needs to be in "Build Phases/Link
> Binary with Libraries"

> Key: CB-2718
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2718
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: iOS, Plugman
> Affects Versions: Master
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Assignee: Anis Kadri

> plugin.xml:

> As you can see, the .a file is installed as a *source-file*, which is needed
> for the file to be copied into the *Plugins* folder. The file is also added
> to the *Build Phases/Compile Sources* phase when it shouldn't be - but this
> is harmless.
> The .a file needs to be installed into the *Build Phases/Link Binary with
> Libraries*, if not there is a linker error. To do this, you could specify the
> file as a *framework* tag, setting the *src* attribute. However, no matter
> what you do, you can't get the right path since the framework item is set to
> "Relative to Group" in Xcode, and this is set to the root of the project
> folder.
> So if the project folder is "/Users/Desktop/FooProject", that is the root of
> the *Frameworks* group as well. The *Plugins* folder would be in
> "/Users/Desktop/FooProject/FooProject/Plugins", and there is no way to know
> this ahead of time (note the extra FooProject), if not, I could set the
> framework *src* attribute to "FooProject/Plugins/blah" (but this is not
> ideal, and is confusing)

> Not sure how to fix this but some suggestions:
> 1. plugman appends the "FooProject/Plugins" part to the src (only for a user
> lib), so this configuration could work:
> {code}
> <source-file src="TestFlight1.1/libTestFlight.a"
> target-dir="TestFlightPlugin/TestFlight1.1" />
> <framework src="TestFlightPlugin/TestFlight1.1/libTestFlight.a" />
> {code}
> This would work a bit better if CB-2717 was implemented.
> 2. Or better yet, have a *framework=[boolean]* attribute on a *source-file*
> element:
> {code}
> <source-file src="TestFlight1.1/libTestFlight.a"
> target-dir="TestFlightPlugin/TestFlight1.1" framework="true"/>
> {code}
