Switch iOS build to dynamic libraries and xcframeworks #54
Conversation
Updated the iOS build process to generate dynamic libraries (.dylib) instead of static libraries (.a), and package them as xcframeworks for both release and debug builds. Modified SConstruct to build shared libraries with appropriate linker flags and framework dependencies. Updated AdmobPlugin.gdip config to reference xcframeworks and embed them. Refactored build.sh to support dynamic library creation, xcframework packaging, and updated artifact copying accordingly. Added .DS_Store to .gitignore.

After adding the quotes to fix the .gdip file, I have tried to export the demo app + updated plugin and ran into the “Multiple commands produce …/AdmobPlugin.framework” error because both AdmobPlugin.debug.xcframework and AdmobPlugin.release.xcframework are being embedded and copied to the exact same destination path in the app bundle. This causes duplicate CodeSign tasks and fails the archive:
error: Unexpected duplicate tasks
note: Target 'Admob Demo' (project 'Admob Demo'): CodeSign .../Admob Demo.app/Frameworks/AdmobPlugin.framework

(same two copy commands as above)
warning: duplicate output file '.../Debug-iphoneos/AdmobPlugin.framework' on task: ProcessXCFramework .../AdmobPlugin.release.xcframework ...
(warnings repeat similarly for Info.plist and the binary itself)
** ARCHIVE FAILED **
Additionally, we already had a plan to transition to fully use xcodebuild and drop SConstruct, but I like your switch to dynamic libs. We'll need to merge the two changes in the near future.

I'm not sure if these are needed here as usually third-party framework dependencies are listed here. Even if needed, each should be put inside double quotes.

It would be great if we could add this under a new "# macOS" section in the file

I like the switch to dynamic libraries. It was on our TODO list further down the road.
