Description

The generated Project.xcconfig file sets OF_CORE_LIBS without FMOD. However, FMOD is still referenced from OF, like
_FMOD_SYSTEM_CLOSE
In the past, I have set something like OF_NO_FMOD and avoided all of the fmod calls if it is set.

In the Run Script Build Phase FMOD is being copied over
rsync -aved "$OF_PATH/libs/fmod/lib/osx/libfmod.dylib" "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR/$PRODUCT_NAME.app/Contents/Frameworks/";

Could be an opportunity to integrate something like OF_NO_SOUND or the like. This could also be referenced in the Build phase to avoid unnecessarily copying over FMOD.

Research direction

Start with the generated Project.xcconfig and the Run Script Build Phase that copies libfmod.dylib; trace how OF_CORE_LIBS and FMOD references are produced for the OSX application template. Confirm the intended no-sound or no-FMOD behavior with maintainers, then verify that a generated project has no FMOD linking or copying when that option is disabled.
