[FR] iOS Resolver support for mixing cocoapods static and dynamic linking

[sp-miguel-ibero]

Feature proposal

• EDM4U Component: iOS Resolver

Have you thought about adding support for the cocoapods-pod-linkage plugin? As explained in this post cocoapods only allows to specify one type of linking for all the pods. This is specially a problem when having multiple targets like it is the case with the Unity Xcode project after they changed to use a UnityFramework library. We have this problem when integrating different Ironsource adapters where some of them should use static and some of them should use dynamic linking.

This issue does not seem to follow the issue template. Make sure you provide all the required information.

In general we recommend statically linking firebase libraries.
Can you tell us a bit more about your expected podfile? Is there a factor that causes you to want to dynamically link firebase libraries, or is this a case of wanting to statically link firebase libraries while dynamically linking some other libraries?

Also, depending on the use-case, as a temporary workaround it might be possible to let EDM4U generate podfiles, then disable EDM4U and manually edit the podfiles to the desired state.

Hi indeed this might be a good feature, our project is mixing these two cases and it might be helpful to have individual linkage specifications for each pod(after all linkage is sth related to pod instead of project i guess? Not quite an expert on this XD)
