iOS App Store Rejection: Invalid Directory Name?

[Soulstorm]

This is what I got after submitting an update for my application:

Dear Developer,

We have discovered one or more issues with your recent binary submission for "................". Before your app can be reviewed, the following issues must be corrected:

Invalid Directory Name - Your app contains a directory name that is already reserved: 'Frameworks'. You must rename this directory.

I looked into the final bundle, and there is indeed a directory named "Frameworks", but I haven't created it. It was created I suppose because I have an external static library (.a file) that I included it in a "Copy Files Build Phase" under the "Frameworks" kind. But If I don't include this library in the final bundle of my application, won't the application stop working?

No, it's a static library. Static libraries are linked into the executable, they become part of the executable itself.
