# This script allows to convert an iOS framework binary to XCFramework.
# It might be useful to resolve the "Building for iOS Simulator, but the linked
# and embedded framework was built for iOS + iOS Simulator" error in Xcode 12.3.
# The script can accept working directory as a first argument.
# If no arguments passed, script looks for frameworks in the current directory.
