I'm using Alamofire in a Swift project, and part of their manual installation instructions are to add Alamofire under Embedded Binaries in the General tab for my application target.
What are Embedded Binaries?

Embedding. Embed. It adds a copy of the framework into your final bundle. After that Dynamic linker :dyld at load or run time tries to find the embedded framework using @rpath [About] If it is not found the error will occur [dyld:Librarynotloaded] Embed is a mirror of Build Phases -> Embed Frameworks .
A framework is a hierarchical directory that encapsulates a dynamic library, header files, and resources, such as storyboards, image files, and localized strings, into a single package. Apps using frameworks need to embed the framework in the app's bundle.
Embedding a Framework in iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS Apps Open the app’s Xcode project or workspace. Go to the app target’s General configuration page. Add the framework target to the Embedded Binaries section by clicking the Add icon, highlighted in Figure 5. Select your framework from the list of binaries that can be embedded.
To enable 64-bit in your project, we recommend using the default Xcode build setting of “Standard architectures” to build a single binary with both 32-bit and 64-bit code. ERROR ITMS-90203: Invalid architecture: Apps that include an app extension and framework must support arm64.
Apps using an Xcode workspace that depend on a framework in a different Xcode project should configure the app project using these instructions: Open the Xcode workspace. Add each Xcode project to the workspace with File > Add Files to "Workspace Name." Follow the steps in Embedding a Framework. Apps with Dependencies Between Frameworks
The framework target can be added to the same project as the app target, or it can be added to a separate Xcode project. Create a new Xcode target and select the framework template appropriate for your app's target platform. Add all of the framework source files to the new target's Compile Sources build phase.
Embedded binaries are binary files that are copied to your application bundle when you build the project. Use embedded binaries when your application relies on third-party frameworks so people can use your application without needing those frameworks installed on their machine. Embedded binaries keep users from having to manually install third-party frameworks. Your application uses the framework you embedded.
In your Alamofire example your application relies on Alamofire. If you didn't embed the Alamofire framework, nobody would be able to use your application unless they installed Alamofire manually. By embedding Alamofire with your application everyone can run your application.
