macOS Problem while including custom framework in Project

[Monaj]

Hi all,

I am trying to learn how to create custom frameworks and use them in a project in cocoa, so I began with a simple custom framework named - SimpleFramework.

It contains one class with only one class method:

// class name: SimpleClass, role: Public
 
+ (void)displayMessage{
    NSLog(@"Hello World");
}

I also set its Installation Directory path to - @executable_path/../Frameworks then compiled it.

I included it in another project using following steps-

1. Dragged SimpleFramework.framework into Frameworks folder in project. Also selected Copy items to destination group's folder and Add To Targets check box.

2. Created a New Copy Files Build Phase. Selected its destination as Frameworks.

3. Dragged SimpleFramework.framework into it.

Problem is, when I am trying to import SimpleClass.h in SimpleTestAppDelegate class, it is giving this error message on compilation-

SimpleClass.h: No such file or directory.

Can anyone suggest me if I am doing anything wrong?

Thanks,

Monaj

I think you forgot to make SimpleClass.h a public header file. Select the file in your original framework in the target group. The file pane above your code editor will then have a new option to make the file public, private or <third option>.

I think you forgot to make SimpleClass.h a public header file. .

@MrFusion .. thnx for your reply

I have set its role as public, but still it is not working

I have also uploaded the code and it can be found here- http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9999259/SimpleTest.zip

Solution found!

I was missing this line:

#import "SimpleFramework/SimpleClass.h"
