    Hey guys,

    i just got an ID3 Framework to read out MP3 tags. The problem i have is, when i add the framework in xcode it wouldn't compile anymore.
    Is there anything spezial i have to do? I downloaded the framework from here:
    http://drewfamily.homemail.com.au/Cocoa_-_ID3Tag_framework.html
    I unzipped it and put the ID3.framework folder to System->Library->Frameworks
    In Xcode i added it by clicking the Frameworksfolder and choose "Add-> Existing Frameworks..." I chose the ID3.framework folder and it was there (And seemed to be ok)
    As soon as it's there i get a compiler error:

    Code:
    Building target “AufgabenListe” of project “AufgabenListe” with configuration “Debug” — (1 error)
    cd /Users/ - myname - /Documents/Xcode/AufgabenListe
    /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 -arch i386 -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -L/Users/ - myname - /Documents/Xcode/AufgabenListe/build/Debug -F/Users/ - myname - /Documents/Xcode/AufgabenListe/build/Debug -filelist /Users/ - myname - /Documents/Xcode/AufgabenListe/build/AufgabenListe.build/Debug/AufgabenListe.build/Objects-normal/i386/AufgabenListe.LinkFileList -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 -framework Cocoa -framework ID3 -o /Users/ - myname - /Documents/Xcode/AufgabenListe/build/Debug/AufgabenListe.app/Contents/MacOS/AufgabenListe
ld: framework not found ID3
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
    But the ID3.framework folder is there for sure... Do i need to register this framework somehow somewhere?
    I tried to contact the author of the framework but his email is not working any more.
    Would be great if somebody could help me (i'm new to mac and xcode ;) )

    Greetings, BliBlaBlo

    You have to copy the framework into the Bundle of the app using a new build phase called "Copy files."

    THen it will work.

    Sorry, i'm not sure if i understood you correctly.
    I should copy the ID3.framework folder into the directory where i have my app?
    I'm new to macs and to XCode, so i'm not that familliar :) (and my english isn't perfekt ass well :) )
    Would be great if you could give me a "dummy" explanation ;)

    Ok, i managed to do that... no more compile Error.
    I did it by right clicking "Target" and then ->Add->New Build Phase->New Copy Files Build Phase
    As the path i draged in the "ID3.framework" and it filled in the path "/System/Library/Frameworks/ID3.framework"

    Now compiling works...

    But i still can't call:

    #import <ID3/MP3Header.h>

    What do i have to do to manage this?

    Thx for helping :)

    I'm not a pro, but here it goes :p

    Grab your ID3.framework, and drag it into your XCode window, directly to Frameworks > Linked Frameworks (in your project sidebar, as shown below):

    In the sheet, that rolls down after releasing your mouse, be sure to check Copy items to destination group's folder (if needed)

    The last thing to do is to include ID3.framework header file:

    PHP:
    #import "ID3/TagAPI.h"
    Final notes:
    The ID3.framework is already in your project directory, so there's no need to create Copy Files Build Phase. Your compiled application folder structure should more or less like this:

    Drop me a line at: (skypeID: pixelique) or (ICQ: 85055819) and tell me how it worked. I'm developing an app based on ID3.framework right now, so we could help each other during development ;)

    good luck, take care!
