`apple_framework_packing` with `link_dynamic=true` will cause error about rules_ios

[mattrobmattrob]

I don't see any reference to platform_types in the rules_ios codebase. Can you give more of the error message or a reproduction in rules_ios for us to debug, @wendyliga?

+1 couldn't find any reference to platform_types in rules_ios nor in rules_apple or the Bazel command line 🤔, a repro would be great!

[wendyliga]

@mattrobmattrob @thiagohmcruz sure, i have created a simple project here and run bazel build //src/Bar to reproduce the issue.

fyi: I could find any test case for this specific configuration; the one available is for static packing.

this is the full log and the stack trace

Why are you using apple_framework_packaging directly instead of this?

load("@build_bazel_rules_ios//rules:framework.bzl", "apple_framework")

apple_framework(
    name = "Bar",
    srcs = glob(['**/*.swift']),
    bundle_id = "com.example.bar",
    infoplists = ["Info.plist"],
    link_dynamic = True,
    platforms = {"ios": "12.0"},
    visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)

And, similarly, you should be using the rules_ios.ios_application macro if you want to support packaging in rules_ios things:

load("@build_bazel_rules_ios//rules:app.bzl", "ios_application")

[mattrobmattrob]

Additionally, it seems like you're mixing a lot of rules_apple/rules_swift native stuff with rules_ios things. Why are you doing that vs. just using entirely rules_ios? For example, you can swap the RxRelay definition over to something like this:

rules_ios/tests/ios/xcframeworks/Basic/BasicXCFramework/BUILD.bazel

@mattrobmattrob my usecase is to generate a precompiled framework, you should use apple_framework_packing right?
regarding the mixing of the rules, I think the target //src/Bar is quite isolated. the repo is exist before, i just reuse it for showing this case.
