Description

There is a requirement to add AdServices.framework but I need to include it as weak to support earlier devices without crashing them.

I added :

weak_sdk_frameworks = [
    "AdServices",
]

But somehow the framework is still not available on the newer devices (14.3+).

I found that your rules do not pass weak_sdk_frameworks into the native objc_library might cause this issue. The code here.

Since I'm still a beginner in Bazel, I would love to hear your thoughts if this is expected or not.
I would love to create the pull request for you if correct.

Thanks!

Research direction

Start at apple/objc_static_framework.bzl lines 229-231 and inspect how weak_sdk_frameworks is passed to the native objc_library. Verify whether AdServices is weakly linked and available on supported newer devices while preserving compatibility with earlier devices; done means the framework setting behaves as requested.
