Experimental support for ios_framework rules * Allows for building and linking to a framework in ios_application * Currently only works for single arch builds * Xcode generation produces correct target type, but is mostly untested The implementation is very similar to that of objc_framework: 1) Build the ios_framework_binary as a dynamic library (-dynamiclib) 2) Symlink the library and public headers to a staging location, inside of "X.framework" bundle. Where X is the name under ios_framework_binary#framework_name 3) Pass the bundle content to ObjcCommon.addFrameworkImports, reusing the core of objc_framework rule implementation. This results in correctly set -F/-framework flags and allows clients to use the framework in a way they would use any SDK/3rd-party framework. It's allowed to import headers via #import <X/X.h> call. 4) Copy the binary and all resources into final application bundle under Frameworks/X.framework 5) Sign the app and nested frameworks -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=100397239

Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
