Hi.
For static libraries, I found that the .a files are added as `Other Linker Flags` instead of adding them to `Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content` in `General` tab of Xcode projects if I use `target_link_libraries()`.
Is there a way to add static libraries to `Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content`? This is default way to link static libraries for adding .a files to the Xcode Project.
For dynamic libraries, I can use `set_property` and `XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS` to embeded the dynamic frameworks. And I can use the `XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY` to sign the embedded frameworks. But it will apply to all the embedded frameworks.
Is there a way to control each framework sign or not? It can be controlled each framework sign or not by using `Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content` in Xcode. But it seems that I can’t control it by CMake.

Can anyone help?
