How does Xcode find implicit target dependencies?

Question

Xcode finds dependencies automatically sometimes. I think is is ok when I am the one who is defining the relationships and when I get lazy ...

But more than often I

Answer 1

Xcode Dependency[About] is a dependency required to build a selected target.

Implicit dependency

• source code aka Non-compiled dependencies. Xcode allows to add a dependency from the whole workspace. A good example is a Project from GitHub or CocoaPods[About] with source code
• closed code aka Precompiled dependencies aka External - external binary, CocoaPods, Carthage with closed code

Implicit dependency is a dependency that is necessary to successfully build a target, but aren’t explicitly defined.

1. No dependency in Build Phases -> Dependencies || Target Dependencies
2. Specified in General -> Framework, Libraries, and Embedded Content||Embedded BinariesorLinked Frameworks and Libraries[Link vs Embed]

To turn on this functionality[No such module]

Edit Scheme -> Build -> Find Implicit Dependencies

[Explicit dependency]
