Re: Many new warnings after Xcode upgrade

I don’t have any special insights, but I think the warning is correct in that there has for some time been an (unwritten?) rule that the #imports *inside* a framework header should use angle brackets — for self-preservation.

Again with no special knowledge, that makes sense to me because imports with double-quotes will search the framework *client’s* include paths first, and that’s almost certainly wrong if there are any symbol conflicts with what’s defined in the framework.

OTOH, it’s hard to predict the effect of “fixing” the bracketing, because Xcode’s behavior here is somewhat inscrutable.

All that said, my suggestion is as follows:

1. Commit your project as-is to the repository.

2. Apply all the “Double-quoted include …” warning fixits automatically.

3. Build and run the project.

If that works, don’t lose any sleep. If something blows up, discard changes and silence the warnings, and don’t lose any sleep. :)

I was wondering about that myself. I have header files that are internal to the framework so shouldn’t be public.

I just updated to XCode 12.1, and my project is throwing a lot of new warnings about “double-quoted include in framework header”. This appears to be because of the build setting “Quoted include in Framework Header”, which is now a recommended setting. 
 
I can turn that off again, but what is this treally trying to tell me? These warnings appear to be bogus, in that yes, I’m building several frameworks as part of my workspace, but surely the files within those framework sources should be simple double quotes, not refer to the framework headers - after all, it’s the framework I’m building!
 
I’m confused, but perhaps it’s because my project structure is incorrect. But I don’t want to go and change a whole bunch of stuff before I properly understand what should be done here.
 
Example errors in the output — note, this framework is one I just use “as is”, I’m not even building it (Sparkle).
