Adding Firebase to Bazel project

[vchernyshov]

Hello, I have a Bazel iOS project and I need to add Firebase dependency.
Firebase provided as a zip with set of Xcode frameworks.
I'm trying to add it like this:
`
apple_static_framework_import(
name = "BoringSSLGRPC",
framework_imports = glob(["BoringSSL-GRPC.xcframework/ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator/BoringSSL-GRPC.framework/**"]),
visibility = [
"//visibility:public",
],
)

apple_static_framework_import(
name = "FirebaseAnalytics",
framework_imports = glob(["FirebaseAnalytics.xcframework/ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator/FirebaseAnalytics.framework/**"]),
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)`

Bazel generates Xcode project but error occurred when I build the project:
/var/tmp/_bazel_vchernyshov/8432bf40a9c3dc219067a8a2fb9ccda3/execroot/__main__/submodules/Pods/BoringSSL-GRPC.xcframework/ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator/BoringSSL-GRPC.framework/Modules/module.modulemap:1:27: Skipping stray token
/var/tmp/_bazel_vchernyshov/8432bf40a9c3dc219067a8a2fb9ccda3/execroot/__main__/submodules/Pods/BoringSSL-GRPC.xcframework/ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator/BoringSSL-GRPC.framework/Modules/module.modulemap:1:28: Expected '{' to start module 'BoringSSL'

Could say what I'm doing wrong?

xcframeworks are currently not supported:

• Roadmap: Distributable Dynamic Framework #355
• Consuming .xcframework #851

@brentleyjones so Bazel can't read such path:
BoringSSL-GRPC.xcframework/ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator/BoringSSL-GRPC.framework/**?

if I put content from ios-arm64_i386_x86_64-simulator/BoringSSL-GRPC.framework/ to folder BoringSSL-GRPC without xcframework could this helps me?

Can you put together a small example repo that reproduces this issue?

This is possible now with the new apple_static_xcframework_import rule.

apple_static_framework_import(
  name = "FirebaseAnalytics",
  xcframework_imports = glob(["FirebaseAnalytics.xcframework/**"]),
  visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
)
