A dynamic library in Mac OS X carries its installation path inside
the library. Linking an application that uses that library records
the installation path in the application. You can't just move a
framework into the Frameworks folder of the application bundle; the
library has to be built with the installation path in it, and the
application has to be linked against that version of the library.
So build the framework with the installation path
"@executable_path/../Frameworks", and when building the application
use a Copy Files phase to move the product of the framework-build
target to the Frameworks folder.
This is just an overview. For the full instructions, see <http://
developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPFrameworks/
Tasks/InstallingFrameworks.html>
and
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/
BPFrameworks/Tasks/CreatingFrameworks.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/
20002258-106880-BAJJBIEF>
There is also an excellent tutorial at <http://rentzsch.com/share/
embeddingFrameworks.mov>.
If you follow this procedure, the configuration-specific build of the
framework will be matched to the corresponding application build.

Hi!
I build some frameworks and then an app that uses those frameworks
using Xcode 2.1.
I build the app and each framework in debug and release flavors.
When building the release version of the app, I want to use the
release versions of the frameworks, and when building the debug
version I want to use the debugging frameworks.
I put each version of the frameworks into their own subfolders. I
have managed to get the app to link to the correct version of the
frameworks by setting Framework Search Paths differently for each
Build Configuration.
However, I get into trouble when trying to copy the frameworks into
the Contents/Frameworks folder of my app bundle. Since I haven't
been able to find an automatic function for this (copy this
framework that I link to into the app bundle), I tried using a Copy
Files Build Phase. However, it seems only to be possible to refer
to a file by it's name, not by it's path, so I can't get Xcode to
copy different files when using different build styles.
Do I really have to resort to a Run Shell Script Build Phase? If
so, what environment variable do I need to use to get the path to
the app bundle being built? I haven't been able to find a single
one that will give me that, do I have to build the path myself
using several variables?
TIA
