Description

Hey!

Maybe im just bonkers, but how can i add a depedency in XcodeGen to have it build when the project itself is built?

I have a dependency to an external framework inside an xcodeproj file that needs to be built before it can be linked.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing how XcodeGen represents external framework dependencies and generates the xcodeproj, then trace how build dependencies are emitted. Done means a dependency framework is built before the generated project links it, with coverage for the relevant configuration.
