Confused about TargetCountProvider about swiftinfo HOT 4 OPEN

Hi there! It picks up the number of modules in your target, so anything where you have to do import .... I think it doesn't recognize static frameworks that are bundled inside your app (frameworks usable without the import keyword -- I forgot the proper name for them). Is this your case? I haven't considered this possibility before.

from swiftinfo.

@joeboyscout04 are you using static frameworks?

@rockbruno I'm also confused by your definition. Our project points out 7 dependencies, but we're easily importing over 40 dependencies (from Pods) as well as many from native libs (e.g. AVFoundation) 🤔

from swiftinfo.

I see. Are these pods dependencies pre-compiled? I think it only catches things that your compile since this provider works by searching for --module-name compilations

from swiftinfo.

They're mostly precompiled, yes! We use https://github.com/leavez/cocoapods-binary, which precompiles all pods upon installing them.

If we exclude all the precompiled ones (which probably include the native ones - right?), I think the count is correct 👍 Sounds like this opens an opportunity for a future improvement (such as counting how how many static libs and/or precompiled libs we're using). Maybe it's worth rephrasing the docs of the current Target Counter while there's no "generic" dependency counter?
