# Bug Report
## Problem
In cordova-ios v5.1.1, the below snippet can be used in `plugin.xml` to
embed, in the generated Xcode project of the final app, a reference to an
external Xcode project used by the plugin adding a list of its targets as
dependencies for the final app:
```xml
<plugin ...
<platform name="ios">
<!-- Create a reference to "MySubLib.xcodeproj" in the generated app
project -->
<framework src="_build/MySubLib.xcodeproj" custom="true"
type="projectReference" />
<!-- Add the needed dependencies to the final app target -->
<framework src="libMySubLib.a" />
```
"`_build/MySubLib.xcodeproj`" is inside the plugin source directory
(specifically generated by a CMake-project, but this is not relevant).
The above is broken in cordova-ios v6.1.1.
### What is expected to happen?
The above snippet should work the same as before in cordova-ios v6.1.1.
### What does actually happen?
The project file (`project.pbxproj`) generated with v6.1.1 doesn't include
all the correct information from the embedded project (it did it with v5.1.1).
In the generated Xcode project are inserted both the reference to the external
project and the list of dependencies, but not including all the embedded
information from the external project the used UUIDs of the targets are
missing/wrong, resulting in the final dependencies invalid.
If you take a snapshot of the generated `project.pbxproj` during each steps
of its generation, and at the end you open it with Xcode, you can notice that
Xcode "fixes" the project file adding all the missing references (but it's
unable to fix the dependencies, as their UUIDs are missing/wrong). The result
is a broken project that can't be built, neither with `cordova build ios` nor
from Xcode.
Taking the same snapshots with cordova-ios v5.1.1, shows that the project
was correctly generated in the first step. Resulting in a valid and buildable
project.
