[Question] How to add .framework to asset correctly

[rainyl]

I am building the native C wrappers of OpenCV using conan and CMake, referring to native_assets_toolchain_c, I can compile it successfully and get opencv_dart.framework for ios, the compiled framework looks like:

opencv_dart.framework
|-- Info.plist
`-- opencv_dart

1 directory, 2 files

But I don't know how to correctly add it to assets to consume in Flutter, I added the opencv_dart(i.e., the dylib, you can find more details here: https://github.com/rainyl/opencv_dart/blob/d5eea8976cfd645b8dba5e8fe17dcfad95b8b1e9/hook/native_toolchain_conan.dart#L162C5-L204C37) to asset as normal NativeCodeAsset, it worked on a simulator, I am not a experienced IOS developer but it seems with out info.plist, It can't be correctly upload to APP Store, rainyl/opencv_dart#11

So, would you mind explain more about how to add the framework to asset of buildOutput correctly? Thanks a lot!

@rainyl nice to meet you!

Flutter itself packages things in a framework with a plist.
The build.dart outputs a dylib (per architecture), and the iOS/MacOS build bundle these dylibs (each for every target architecture) in a framework with the correct plist.

If you're interested in the implementation:

• Native assets: package in framework on iOS and MacOS flutter/flutter#140907

It is not supported to provide a framework from build.dart.

I believe the automatic packaging into framworks by the implementation in Flutter is sufficient to publish to the store. See discussions on:

• Framework support? #159
• Native assets: package in framework on iOS and MacOS flutter/flutter#140907

If this doesn't work for your use case, please let us know.

Thanks! Native Assets is really useful to distribute native codes, waiting for it's graduation and thanks for your efforts!
