Combine multiple .frameworks in one "umbrella"

Question

I am currently working on an iOS project with external frameworks.

One of those frameworks contains of 5 .framework files.

Here is an exmaple:

core.framework

versionA.core.framework
versionA.resources.framework

versionB.core.framework
versionB.resources.framework

What I need is one framework e.g. umbrellaA.framework containing this

core.framework

versionA.core.framework
versionA.resources.framework

and one framework e.g. umbrellaB.framework containing versionB

core.framework

versionB.core.framework
versionB.resources.framework

Can I use libtool for this or what do I need to combine multiple .framework files into one ùmbrella`?

Answer 1

Could you use cocoapods and subspecs?

Pod::Spec.new do |s|
    s.name         = "Umbrella"
    ...

    s.default_subspec = 'A'

    s.subspec 'A' do |ss|
        ss.frameworks        = '.......'
    end

    s.subspec 'B' do |ss|
        ss.frameworks        = '.......'
    end
end

If someone wants to use the Umbrella.A framework then they refer to it like this in their Podfile

pod 'Umbrella/A'
