CMP0173

Added in version 3.31.

The CMakeFindFrameworks module is removed.

CMake's framework handling has evolved well beyond what the CMakeFindFrameworks module supports. The module lacks any handling of XCFrameworks, it never documented the one command it provides, and find_library() provides superior capabilities in all respects.

The OLD behavior of this policy is for CMakeFindFrameworks to continue to provide the undocumented cmake_find_frameworks() command. The NEW behavior halts with a fatal error if anything tries to include the module.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.31. It may be set by cmake_policy() or cmake_minimum_required(). If it is not set, CMake warns, and uses OLD behavior.

Note

The OLD behavior of a policy is deprecated by definition and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
