Given is an app project with two SPM dependencies: one to a source code repro and one to a repro containing in XCFramework. Using "Build Documentation" in Xcode generates the documentation for the app and source framework but not for the XCFramework.

Wonder, why the documentation is not generated from the symbol graph of the binary
Tried to create a .doccarchive with the framework using "Build Documentation during 'Build'" build setting, but:

.doccarchive is not copied when creating a XCFramework
after adding .doccarchive to XCFramework, it will not be resolved and downloaded via SPM

Is there any way to distribute the documentation of my binary framework over SPM to be displayed in the Documentsbrowser using the "Build Documentation" command?

Hi, I have encountered a similar issue. I'm building an XCFramework to use with cocoapods, but the .doccarchive is not being bundled with XCFFramework, only the doc comments that get included with public swift code in their raw form. Have you found the solution?
