I tried to use the ZipKit framework ( http://bitbucket.org/kolpanic/zipkit/wiki/UsingZipKit ) in the test application

I tried to use the ZipKit framework (http://bitbucket.org/kolpanic/zipkit/wiki/UsingZipKit) in the test application for iPad. I followed the “Traditional way” of the installation (as it is described on their page) with no success. Hope somebody can help me with it:

1/ I used hg to get sources
2/ I build the ZipKit project (Release build)
3/ After doing this there was created in the build folder the new ZipKit.framework folder
4/ I have created a new test project for the iPad 3.2 (XCode 3.2.4)
5/ I have drag&dropped the ZipKit.framework folder created in the step 3) into Frameworks section on my new test project
6/ In Targets section I have created new Copy File Build Phase and I drag&drop the ZipKit.Framework from Frameworks section to the new Copy Files folder.
7/ Then I build and run the project.

The project cannot be even started, it is being closed after I press the project icon – so I must do something terribly wrong. In the console output I can see the error – it is pretty clear what is missing, but I do not know what to do with that… Might be some XCode expert or someone, who used the ZipKit can help me – this must some really stupid mistake I am doing…

There is the console output:

dyld: Library not loaded: @rpath/Frameworks/ZipKit.framework/Versions/A/ZipKit
  Referenced from: /Users/sten/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/3.2/Applications/3C51FC4F-0E85-48D2-BC68-D01ADD73DAE1/ZipExample.app/ZipExample
  Reason: image not found
Failed to launch simulated application: iPhone Simulator failed to find the process ID of com.yourcompany.ZipExample.

BTW – I have tried to run the ZipKit Touch example provided with the framework and it works perfectly…

Thanks a lot

There is the screenshot of my test project – on the left side you can see the ZipKit.framework I drag&drop into my project:

    You should go back and read it again.

    The “traditional way” is not the right way to do this – Apple don’t allow iOS applications with external frameworks like this – you want to link against the static library instead using the process described under “Static Library Target”.
