iPhone app compiled in XCode with a private framework doesn't work in iPhone

Question

Hi,

I'm writing an iPhone app that needs direct access to the camera. Since it is in-house, I have no qualms about using the full set of headers and private frameworks.
I included and the PhotoLibrary framework in the application. It compiles for the 2.0 firmware, and I can put it on the device and run it. As soon as it is started, however, it quits and returns to the home screen.

I think that the PhotoLibrary framework is somehow not being loaded or something similar.

I would post some debugging output, but I don't actually have the phone yet.

Thanks!

That might or might not be the problem. The iPhone simulator lets you get away with a lot of stuff that doesn't work on an actual device-- there's any number of classes that a simulator app can use that don't exist on the phone (e.g. NSXMLDocument, available on Mac OS X and iPhone simulator but not actual iPhones). Get the phone, run the app, and use Xcode to look at the phone's system console to see why it's crashing.

Answer 2

Thanks for all the help.

It turns out that I was trying to use classes from the iPhone 2.0 SDK with an iPhone that has 2.2.1. Thus, it would compile correctly when I set the device to 2.0 in Xcode, but would fail on the iPhone because the old classes were no longer there.

I fixed my problem by getting the classes from the 2.2.1 SDK. Now my program runs fine on the iPhone.

How can you import private framework? I did import but it said that the header file imported is no such a folder o file.

I already set search Header file path in project setting

Do i need to copy class-dumped header to any specific fold in xcode?
