Xcode create shared framework across lots of targets

I'm making stuff for IOS, Mac, and WatchOS - I have certain common functionality that is more about me and the way I program than about whatever it is I'm programming - helper methods etc

What I'd like is to have a "Common" framework or library in my app which is included into every other library. I understand I need a separate target for each of ios, macos, watchos, but I can't figure out how to set it up.

I can create a framework - and it comes with a target - I can duplicate that target and change stuff, but I don't seem to be able to change it from IOS to macos for instance. I can create a separate macos target, but then I can't seem to be able to change where it gets the code from.

Essentially in my source tree I want a single directory: Common

and then have target frameworks CommonIOS, CommonMacOs, CommonWatchOS - that all just compile "Common". How do I achieve that?

You're misusing the word "framework". All you want is to keep some source code as a library that all your projects and targets, no matter what system they'll be compiled for, can use. You are describing a Swift package.
