Embedding Private Framework into iPhone app

Question

Hi All,

I am trying to use some external Framework in my iPhone app. I did the following:

1. copied the xxx.framework inside my project folder
2. dragged the xxx.framework folder to Frameworks folder in xcode
3. clicked add to target and set the path to relative to the project
4. passed -ObjC flag in other flags (required by the framework)

when compiling i get the error "ld: framework not found xxx"

what could I possibly missed?

I googled around to find an answer and no luck so far and I need to make it work urgently

any help will be much appreciated

Thanks Alot

Yas.

The AppStore does not allow dynamic linking to 3rd-party frameworks, which the reason why all iPhone libraries are distributed as static libraries (.a).

Anyway, if you really need to link to a 3rd-party framework, make sure the path to that framework is in the "Framework search path" (check "Project info").
