I understand that it isn’t supported, but as long as it works in practice, and 
Apple continues not to provide any better approach, I’ll keep using it. 

By “better” I mean “easier to configure, with fewer moving parts”. Your 
suggestion about FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS is a good one, and better than the mess 
I was dealing with for dynamic frameworks, but I still don’t relish having to 
explain this to developers. I know from experience that the more steps there 
are to using our library in an app, the more developers will get it wrong and 
come to us for help (or worse, just give up.) Ideally it should just be 
“download the framework and drag it into your Xcode project,” and for our 
cobbled-together fat static framework it’s pretty close to that easy.
