Is it possible to distribute binary ios framework using carthage

Please bear with me because I spent considerable amount of time on this. I am also relatively a beginner with swift and iOS.
What I did
- built a framework using cocoa touch
- clean, build and it succeeds without a problem.
- made the scheme shared
- did carthage build --no-skip-current
- did carthage archive
- copied only the zip file to a fresh new directory and uploaded with release in git.
- In a different project tried to pull the framework using carthage
and I get the error Dependency "xxx-ios" has no shared framework schemes then I copied the scheme directly and pushed it in the git along the zip. nothing. Tried without the zip together with the scheme. nothing.
Then I created a fresh framework and I did carthage build --no-skip-current and I uploaded the whole thing in the project folder to git. That pulls properly with carthage. Then I removed some part of that folder so that the scheme inside .xcodeproj and the carthage build folder remain, then I get a different error. At this point it got me thinking if carthage does support binary framework distribution.
In my company, they want it so that I don't expose the code - so I am trying to distribute built binary of the framework.
I would really appreciate any help or guides of what different things I could try to single out the problem. Thanks.
Edit
someone had almost exactly the same issue as mine in their issues here but a couple of conversations later it is closed without a solution.

It sounds like you're using a github dependency in your Cartfile and attaching a binary of your framework to the GitHub Release. But you don't have any code in the repository, so Carthage is complaining because it can't actually build it.
That's as designed—Carthage doesn't support distributing binary-only frameworks that way. Binaries attached to GitHub Releases are only meant as a way to speed up builds.
However, Carthage does have a mechanism for binary-only dependencies: binary dependencies.

would have been nice tho, if this binary feature has the ability to clone from git.
