Re: Frameworks inside applications

Does anyone know the magic incantation that I need to have the app search its own Frameworks directory for frameworks?

There are actually pretty decent instructions for doing this in the Project Builder help. (It doesn't sound like you've found that yet, although I could be wrong.) The secret is the @executable_path stuff.

On a related note, is there an easy way to strip the Headers directory from the framework while copying it into my application's Frameworks directory? I figure the worst case is that I just add a Shell Script build phase and use good old rm.

That's the only way I know of. I don't use a shell script build phase, I just have a script which builds all my frameworks and the app and then does all the cleanup and packaging.

Also note that after you copy the frameworks into your app wrapper, prebinding won't work anymore (since the modification date of the frameworks will be later than the date stored in the app's binary). So you need to do something like this to get prebinding to work again:

cd "$INSTALL_DIRECTORY/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS"
redo_prebinding -e "$PWD" ../Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/Versions/Current/MyFramework
redo_prebinding -e "$PWD" MyApp

Hope this helps...
