I have created a static xcframework for openssl to use in one of my iOS projects. Have attached the screenshot with structure of xcframework. Can we link this to XCode project using CMake ?  
Is this supported by CMake now ?

I suspect so…but I’m not sure how the imported target should be constructed. Maybe the path to the `.xcframework` is the `LOCATION`?

@kyle.edwards or @brad.king ?
