transitivelyLinkDependencies and app extensions

[kastiglione]

We have transitivelyLinkDependencies set to true. When adding framework dependencies to an extension, in Xcode we see that the app itself has those same frameworks as dependencies. The final app binary ends up linking to frameworks it doesn't use. Is this intended? My initial thought is that transitivelyLinkDependencies should not propagate dependencies of app extensions.

Let me know if there is more details/context I should provide.

It's not intended. This is a bug.
