how to find sdk and xcode version number from .framework or .a file

Question

I have a .framework file and .a taken from two different projects. i want to find out the version number of the sdk used and also xcode version from the .a and .framework files.

is there a way to figure that out ?

Answer 1

For a .framework file , you can get Xcode version

plutil -p YOUR-FRAMWORK-PATH-NAME.framework/Info.plist | grep DTXcodeBuild

you will get the output something like:

"DTXcodeBuild" => "9C40b"

9C40b stands for Xcode9.2
