Implicit framework dependencies are useful in Xcode Workspaces which have multiple `.xcodeproj` that are not embedded within each other yet have a dependency on a framework built in an adjacent `.xcodeproj`.  By having `Find Implicit Dependencies` checked within your scheme `Build Options` Xcode can link built frameworks in `BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR`.
