----------------------------------
Labels: backlog (was: backlog ios-next)
> Cordova generated app broken if the plugin is a dynamic framework that
> depends on Cordova
> -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-13043
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13043
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-create, cordova-ios
> Affects Versions: 4.4.0
> Environment: iOS 10
> Reporter: Bharath Hariharan
> Assignee: Shazron Abdullah
> Labels: backlog
>
> I have a plugin that's directly dependent on Cordova since it contains a
> subclass of CDVViewController and it references other native Cordova classes.
> I'm trying to package this framework as a dynamic framework and bundle it in
> my plugin. The problem with this is that it has to be linked to
> Cordova.framework but the generated app from Cordova CLI links to
> libCordova.a which causes symbol conflicts. The basic problem is that a
> dynamic framework has a defined boundary and is self-sufficient, which
> prevents it from getting symbols from the external libCordova.a. It also
> can't weak-link to a static lib. The fix here would be to do 1 of the
> following:
> 1) In the generated app, make Cordova's dynamic framework target a dependency
> instead of the static target like it is currently. Also, link to
> Cordova.framework instead of libCordova.a.
> 2) Allow a parameter to be set in the plugin, called "dynamic" or something
> to that effect that allows a plugin to specify that it needs Cordova as a
> dynamic framework dependency. Setting this parameter would basically make
> Cordova do (1).
> Since Apple has moved away from static libs and is recommending dynamic
> frameworks, I would recommend approach (1).
