framework not found CocoaFob

[HeadBanging]

Weirdly, when I try to use CocoaFob - whether in an App I'm writing myself, or building the cocoafob example in this repository, it always fails with:

ld: framework not found CocoaFob
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I can build the frameworks - no issues there - but when I try to use them it all goes wrong! Xcode 8.2.1

Okay. So the solution for me (and hopefully this will help anyone else who's experiencing a similar problem) was to:

1. build CocoaFob as release (I'd already done this, but in the interests of completeness) copy the resultant built framework to /Library/Frameworks and use it from there.
2. Do not attempt to use it in the location where it was built! Neither should you create a symlink in /Library/Frameworks to the location where it was built.

This done, all works well. Phew!

Okay - that wasn't the trick. All that did was give me a framework that I could use on my machine. I need a framework that works when bundled into my app. Anyone know how to do this?

You don't need to build a framework, just include the files directly into your project. The instructions are at https://github.com/glebd/cocoafob/tree/master/swift3

(offer to Gleb for free version of software by way of thanks)

That's very kind, thanks!

@glebd Are there similar instructions for a obj-c app ?

[glebd]

The README at the main project page is targeted for Obj-C apps. No need for a framework, just include the files directly in your project. Look at some sample projects mentioned in the README.

@glebd I think the issue can be closed now that at least the Swift versions do indeed produce a .framework that's easy to use
