David (repeating this for the list),

I believe the problem is with the install path of your framework my_fw.framework. The loader is looking for it here:

@executable_path/../Frameworks/my_fw.framework/Versions/A/my_fw

The @executable_path is not your plugin but mdimport. Try changing the INSTALL_PATH (in the target build settings under "Installation Directory") of your framework to be relative to the @loader_path, rather than the executable path.

so i'm trying to make an OS X spotlight importer.

i want to link with some frameworks, to start "my_fw.framework"
so i've built my plugin and made sure the copy files build step copies it into the bundle's "Frameworks" directory (verified):

then i drag my plugin into ~/Library/Spotlight, lovely

then i test it out but lo:
