Description
I have a number of projects in my workspace, with Carthage dependencies being imported for each of them. Some projects depend on other projects. At the moment I have to add in the implicit project dependency, and then all of its Carthage dependencies as well, otherwise I get a "couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources" error.
I assume there's no current way to do this? As in, auto-add those Carthage dependencies of the dependency as well, just by adding the project.
My idea was to have a new dependency: xcodegen where you link a target of another xcodegen project file, and xcodegen takes the dependencies (Carthage, implicit frameworks etc) and adds them in.
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how XcodeGen handles Carthage dependencies and implicit project dependencies; done would mean adding a project automatically includes its dependency's transitive dependencies without manual entries.
