Description

We have very big projects with multiple subprojects, so when we generate App project which depends on subprojects does not generate app project correctly and result in compiler error, below is the project structure

AppProject
- Subproject 1
- Subproject 2
- Subproject 3

where some of subproject depends on other subproject

Subproject1
- Subproject3

With above structure not sure how to write project.spec to satisfy above case, any advices please?

I have tried with implicit framework dependencies on main app, but subproject does not link any of it dependencies hence compilation error

Research direction

Start by reproducing the AppProject, Subproject 1, Subproject 2, and Subproject 3 structure from the issue using a project.spec. Check how implicit framework dependencies are handled when generating the App project and its subprojects; done means the generated project links the subproject dependencies and compiles without errors.
