xcodebuild command link libraries

Is there a way to specify iOS libraries to be linked while building an app from command line using xcodebuild command? I know we can specify third party frameworks using OTHER_LDFLAGS="..path/to/framework" but since the built in framework paths may vary based on the machine/sdk etc, I'm assuming there could be some better way than that.

Thanks

xcodebuild builds project files, so typically you configure everything in the project rather than passing many configuration parameters. To link built-in frameworks, you just use the Link with Libraries build step and add the frameworks you want. Built-in frameworks should automatically be stored as SDK-relative. (Note that you should basically never use this to link relative-path libraries in your package; it is usually better to use OTHER_LIBTOOLFLAGS for those.)

The linker flag you want if you need it is -framework <name>. But you shouldn't need that very often when using xcodebuild. It's mostly used when calling clang or ld directly.
