Dynamic library dependecy of a dynamic library is not embedded when building in Xcode, causing "image not found" errors

Development Package Manager
#1

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is a bug, a known limitation or a user error on my part, but this is reproducing in Xcode 11 and Xcode 12 betas.

I have package A, which is a dynamic framework, and package B, which is dependent on package A.
When building for simulator in Xcode, the app deceptively launches with debugger attached. However running the app produces the following error:

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @rpath/A.framework/A
Referenced from: /.../Example.app/Example
Reason: image not found

Looking at the produced app bundle, indeed there is a Frameworks/B.framework, but no Frameworks/B.framework/Frameworks/A.framework, causing the issue.

Any assistance?
Thanks

This does sound like a bug to me.

Hello,

Where and how should I report this?
I worked around this by creating a static target as well, and using that, but it's less than optimal for my needs.

Thank you

If you're seeing an issue in Xcode, I would always report through http://feedbackassistant.apple.com
