Description
For years there has been an issue where library products with .dynamic
types have caused linking problems when building unit test targets in Xcode.
Apple documentation recommends always not defining the library type so that it is always automatic.
A library’s product can be either statically or dynamically linked. It’s recommended that you don’t explicitly declare the type of library, so Swift Package Manager can choose between static or dynamic linking based on the preference of the package’s consumer.
This issue is apparent if using Xcode 15.4 or earlier. It seems that the Xcode 16.0 or 16.1 has fixed these issues. Although when using Xcode 16 there is still an extra step involved of adding a library explicitly to the app target. If a change is made to remove the .dynamic
type from a library product than that extra step is unnecessary.
