Compile a PAM control's iOS Obj-C/Swift module into the FLAT device-slice `.framework` for a `.ppmplugin` bundle (never an `.xcframework` — the wrap CI won't descend into one). Mac-only (Xcode). Builds from a throwaway staged copy so canonical `ios/` and the podspec stay untouched, references React-Core headers only (React is weak-linked and provided by the wrap host at runtime, no CocoaPods), generates the required umbrella header, module map and Info.plist, sets the critical build settings, asserts manifest conformance, then runs a device-only `xcodebuild archive` and copies out the flat framework to `ppmplugin/staging/ios/`. Known limitation — the React weak-link flags aren't yet validated against a live wrap host and the RN pin must match the host's. Run after /generate-ppmplugin-manifest for an iOS or Both target, before /assemble-ppmplugin.

When to use

• Compile iOS Obj-C/Swift module
• Build flat .framework for .ppmplugin
• Generate umbrella header and module map
• Run device-only xcodebuild archive
• Copy flat framework to ppmplugin/staging/ios/

When not to use

• Author manifest.json
• Zip the .ppmplugin
• Build Android
• Modify canonical ios/ or podspec
• Sign the framework
• Build .xcframework
