title: Required Framework vs Static Library
body: <p><a href="https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2014/416/" rel="noreferrer">Building Modern Frameworks</a> says <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/15262463/242933">every app has its own copy of a custom framework</a>. Now that Xcode supports iOS frameworks, is it still true that <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6245893/242933">frameworks <em>are</em> static libraries</a> but just <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/6389802/242933">more convenient</a>? If that's true, then why choose the static library template? Otherwise, should I convert all my required custom frameworks to static libraries once <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29676470/static-library-and-swift">Swift supports static libraries</a>?</p>
