+# Support Mergeable Library
+
+Apple announced [Mergeable Library](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-your-project-to-use-mergeable-libraries) in WWDC23. Mergeable Library is the new framework type which can switch the linking style by the build configuration. It has the metadata to change the linking style on the link time.
+
+Scipio supports `mergeable` framework type to distribute packages as mergeable libraries.
+
+```shell
+$ scipio create path/to/MyPackage --framework-type mergeable --enable-library-evolution
+```
+
+See details the official documentation and following WWDC session.

+- [Meet mergeable libraries - WWDC23 - Videos - Apple Developer](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10268/)
+
+In general, mergeable frameworks will be about 2x bigger binary size than the normal dynamic frameworks.
+
+## How to check whether the built framework is mergeable or not
+
+Mergeable frameworks have `LC_ATOM_INFO` load command in the binary. You can check it by `otool` command.
+
+```shell
+echo $(otool -l path/to/binary) | grep "LC_ATOM_INFO"
+```
+
+## Limitation
+
+Some frameworks can't build as a dynamic framework by some reasons. They can't be distributed as mergeable libraries. Try `--framework-type static` instead.
