I’ve created a working Cocoa framework which I wish to redistribute. The problem is however, it won’t run outside of Xcode. I’ve read something about @executable_path/../Frameworks, which I did not include, because I don’t know where to put it :/

Therefore I run my app in Xcode using the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH variable which works fine, but only in Xcode – if I try to run it on its own it crashes straight away and says IMAGE NOT FOUND.

I’m sure @executable_path/../Frameworks is what’s missing, but I don’t know where to put it.

Could anyone help me out please? 🙂

Thanks

    Here is how I usually manage things:

    1. In the framework’s Xcode project, set the Installation Directory to @rpath

    2. Add the framework to your application’s Xcode project. Add a Copy Files build phase, select Frameworks in the Destination popup, and ensure your framework is added so it will be copied to your application’s Frameworks directory when it is built.

    3. Finally, in your project’s settings, add @loader_path/../Frameworks to Runpath Search Paths.
