App crash on loading dependent libraries while making xcframework

Question

I am making a xcframework. In my framework project, I have added cocoa pods like Alamofire, Realm, and more. When I integrate my xcframework in my application, the application crashes showing following error:

dyld: Symbol not found: _$s9Alamofire10HTTPMethodO3getyA2CmFWC
  
Referenced from: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/E81F9FBA-3876-4959-B675-B89A4EC0257A/BykesPod.app/Frameworks/MYFRAMEWORK.framework/MYFRAMEWORK
  
Expected in: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/E81F9FBA-3876-4959-B675-B89A4EC0257A/DEMOAPP.app/Frameworks/Alamofire.framework/Alamofire
 
in /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/E81F9FBA-3876-4959-B675-B89A4EC0257A/DEMOAPP.app/Frameworks/MYFRAMEWORK.framework/MYFRAMEWORK

dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/system/introspection
DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES=/Developer/usr/lib/libBacktraceRecording.dylib:/Developer/usr/lib/libMainThreadChecker.dylib:/Developer/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DTDDISupport.framework/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib

Following is the pod file of my framework project

target 'MYFRAMEWORK' do
    project './MYFRAMEWORK.xcodeproj'
      pod 'Realm'
      pod 'RealmSwift'
      pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.8'
      pod 'MBProgressHUD','1.1.0'
      pod 'SwiftyJSON'
end

I have added following dependencies in my podspec file:

s.dependency "Realm"
s.dependency "RealmSwift"
s.dependency "Alamofire","~> 4.8.2"
s.dependency "MBProgressHUD","~> 1.1.0"
s.dependency "SwiftyJSON"

Following is the pod file of my demo application:

target 'DEMOAPP' do
  # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'PODNAME'
end

Following are the commands from which I am making xcframeworks

xcodebuild archive -workspace MYFRAMEWORK.xcworkspace  -scheme MYFRAMEWORK -sdk iphoneos -archivePath "archives/0/ios_device.xcarchive" BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES SKIP_INSTALL=NO

xcodebuild archive -workspace MYFRAMEWORK.xcworkspace  -scheme MYFRAMEWORK -sdk iphonesimulator -archivePath "archives/0/ios_simulators.xcarchive" BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES SKIP_INSTALL=NO

xcodebuild -create-xcframework -framework archives/0/ios_device.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/MYFRAMEWORK.framework -framework archives/0/ios_simulators.xcarchive/Products/Library/Frameworks/MYFRAMEWORK.framework -output build/MYFRAMEWORK.xcframework

Note: My code xcode version is 12.4

Did you found any solution to this?

Solution to this problem is to enable following option in Target Build setting

Open Target build settings in Xcode
search for Build Libraries for distribution
change it to "Yes".

Note: If you are distributing Project/Library/Framework and it contains/depends on Cocoapods add following script into your destination Project where framework is integrated. This script enables Build Libraries for distribution for all installing Cocoapod dependencies.

post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
    target.build_configurations.each do |config|
        config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES'
        end
    end
end

Currently, the solution I found was to make the "Build Libraries for distribution" flag true in the Pods project of my application. See attached screenshot.
