SDK compiled with xcode 9 does not work fine in xcode 8

Question

I've an SDK that I built with Xcode-9-Beta. However, I'm trying to use this framework in a project that's running Xcode 8.3.3. However, I get a build error which says, ld framework not found "FileProvider" for architecture x86_64

Now, this FileProvider has been introduced in iOS-11 and I'm not using it anywhere in the SDK code. What could be the possible error. Please comment if you need further data around this.

Answer 1

FileProvide framework is only available in Xcode 9.

You need to download and install Xcode 9 manually and copy the FileProvider framework from Xcode 9 to the same directory of Xcode 8 if you want to continue working on Xcode 8 environment.

1. Download the Xcode9 release version here.
2. Go to

   /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/
