All the responses I have received from my previous post and all of information that I have dug up in the archives, etc., suggest that the only way to include a private framework in an application bundle is to create a second target and build the framework at the same time as the application.

What if I don't want to have to build the framework with every app I in which I use it? What if I don't want to hassle with all of the framework resource files and adding multiple targets to every app I make? I certainly don't have to build the Cocoa framework every time I build an app, so why should this be any different?

What I really want to do is build a framework bundle once, and then have a single file that I can easily dump into any application project, and then just add a new copy file build phase to insert the framework into the application bundle. Is this really such a bad idea? Is it really so hard to do? This seems to me to be far more intuitive than trying to manipulate all of the multiple nibs, plists, image files, that come along with each framework. The current private framework methodology reminds me of the boorish days of procedural programming. Encapsulation, anyone?
