Build Xcode Framework using xcodebuild - ios

Question

I'm working with an iOS project that produces a Framework directory at the root of the project when I execute Product -> Build For -> Running in Xcode. I need to be able to automate this process on the command line presumably using xcodebuild. However, I can't seem to determine the correct set of parameters to make this happen. Any insight into how to run this same scenario without the GUI? Do I have to look at using lipo?

This is the generic script I created. It creates a framework with combined device and simulator binaries.
#!/bin/bash
while getopts s:w: flag
do
case "${flag}" in
s) scheme=${OPTARG};;
w) workspace="-workspace ${OPTARG}.xcworkspace";;
esac
done
if [ -z "$scheme" ]
then
echo "$(basename $BASH_SOURCE) -- build XCFramework"
echo ""
echo "$(basename $BASH_SOURCE) -s scheme-name [ -w workspace0-name ]"
echo ""
echo "Run this script from the top-level directory of your framework."
echo "The build result will be here: archives/<scheme-name>.xcframework"
exit
fi
rm -rf archives/$scheme.xcframework
