Description

I have a project where we want to add linked or embedded binaries always also to the Target Dependencies of the target to make them declared as specific as possible. On the scheme level we have find/build explicit dependencies turned off.

However, most of the time targets are only added to "linked" or "embedded" dependencies. Is there a way to force targets to always be added to the "target dependencies"?

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the configuration with “find/build explicit dependencies” disabled and linked or embedded binaries, then compare the generated target dependencies. Done means determining whether XcodeGen can force those targets into Target Dependencies and documenting or implementing the supported behavior.
