Fix for creating a fat framework using lipo in Xcode 10.2

# Step 7. Convenience step to copy the framework to the project's directory
cp -R "${UNIVERSAL_OUTPUTFOLDER}/${PROJECT_NAME}.framework" "${PROJECT_DIR}/../package/"

# Step 8. Convenience step to open the project's directory in Finder
open "${PROJECT_DIR}/../package/"

hi, have you found a way to add the creation of the universal dsym file?

thank you very much!!!!

Hi @Shehyar, thanks for the build script :D

Anyway, i'm encountered some issue which "TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR" always false on my swift framework header as i'm using simulator to runs the app.
So, my workaround was adding "#include <TargetConditionals.h>" in first line of the header.

My workaround :

Step 4. Create new combined simulator and device swift header file

COMBINED_PATH="${BUILD_DIR}/iOS + iOS Simulator/${PROJECT_NAME}-Swift.h"
mkdir -p "${BUILD_DIR}/iOS + iOS Simulator/"
touch "${COMBINED_PATH}"
echo "#include <TargetConditionals.h>" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"
echo "#if TARGET_OS_SIMULATOR" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"
cat "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-iphonesimulator/${PROJECT_NAME}.framework/Headers/${PROJECT_NAME}-Swift.h" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"
echo "#else" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"
echo "//Start of iphoneos" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"
cat "${BUILD_DIR}/${CONFIGURATION}-iphoneos/${PROJECT_NAME}.framework/Headers/${PROJECT_NAME}-Swift.h" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"
echo "#endif" >> "${COMBINED_PATH}"

Lastly, not sure this just happens to me and i hope this can solve for those encounter this issue.

Thanks! It worked for me 👍
