Xcode 11: Building a static framework which includes other frameworks/libs into its binary in iOS

问题

I have a framework target in Xcode 11.x to build a Dynamic framework with statically linking some 3rd party libraries using pod file.

platform :ios, '9.0'
#use_frameworks!

target 'Framework' do
pod 'DeviceUtil', '~> 2.0'
end

Now I have a requirement to build a Static framework, and for this I changed the "Mach-O' type to Static Library in 'Framework's' target build settings and able to create Static framework. The generated framework shows all architectures correctly (for architecture i386): current ar archive random library for all architecutres x86_64, armv7 & arm64). But the Static framework does not included 3rd party libraries within the Framework binary.

How to generate a Static framework using Xcode11.x which includes other 3rd party libs in its binary? Also changing "Mach-O" type is good enough to generate a Static framework or is there any other way that I am missing?

I have referred few SO posts and couldn't find an answer. Some of them are old and I feel not relevant as per latest Xcode build settings and some of them does not have an answer. Xcode 9: Linking a static framework against another static framework
