ios_framework and ios_static_framework do not allow .hpp headers

[silvester747]

In some of our projects we create ios frameworks that expose .hpp headers. However this is currently not allowed in ios_framework and ios_static_framework.

I am proposing to change the hdrs attr for the ios_framework and ios_static_framework rules to also allow .hpp files.

I already have an active fork here: https://github.com/silvester747/rules_apple/tree/allow_hpp but I still need to add/extend the tests.

Sorry for the delay.

As described in this guide, ios_framework is a packaging solution, not a distributable solution, so headers do not make sense in that context.

For ios_static_framework, I believe adding the hpp to the list of possible extensions should do the trick. I'm not aware of any other implicit processing done to hpp files that would affect this solution, but I haven't used hpp files in this context.

Can you try this out?

You can now us ios_dynamic_framework and friends for this, or the suggestion above
