How to build a release version of an iOS framework in Xcode?

Question

Let\'s say I do the following:

1. Open Xcode 7
2. File | New | Project | Cocoa Touch Framework
3. Create \"TestFramework\" with the Swift language

Answer 1

When you add the framework to your other Xcode project then you have to add "$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" to Build Settings -> Framework Search Paths. This will create Debug when you run project (with Debug) and will create Release version when you archive project. The archive doesn't will create Release version under Products dir but will create Release in "Intermediates.noindex" folder.
