Hi Brad, A use case for example is when an InDesign plugin should be developed. The InDesign plugin on Mac OS is a framework with the file extension ".InDesignPlugin".
It works if the "Xcode" generator is used and the target property "XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_WRAPPER_EXTENSION" is set to "InDesignPlugin". But it doesn't work if the "Unix Makefiles" generator is used.
