FRAMEWORK.rst
FRAMEWORK
---------
Build ``SHARED`` or ``STATIC`` library as Framework Bundle on the macOS and iOS.
If such a library target has this property set to ``TRUE`` it will be
built as a framework when built on the macOS and iOS. It will have the
directory structure required for a framework and will be suitable to
be used with the ``-framework`` option. This property is initialized by the
value of the :variable:`CMAKE_FRAMEWORK` variable if it is set when a target is
created.
To customize ``Info.plist`` file in the framework, use
:prop_tgt:`MACOSX_FRAMEWORK_INFO_PLIST` target property.
For macOS see also the :prop_tgt:`FRAMEWORK_VERSION` target property.
Example of creation ``dynamicFramework``:
.. code-block:: cmake
add_library(dynamicFramework SHARED
dynamicFramework.c
dynamicFramework.h
)
set_target_properties(dynamicFramework PROPERTIES
FRAMEWORK TRUE
FRAMEWORK_VERSION C
