Description

I need some help with including a framework in an iOS module. The framework was added using the steps described in the guide here: http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/guide/iOS_Module_Development_Guide-section-29004946_iOSModuleDevelopmentGuide-AddingSpecialCompilerDirectives The "Other Link Flags" added via XCode are -ObjC -all_load -framework StarIO When building a project with the module, we get the following linker error:

Please find attached the module source and a test project. Not sure if this is a bug or a code issue. For reference, here is a link to the framework: http://www.starmicronics.com/support/SDKDocumentation.aspx

    This is closed resolved after we had a call with the customer (brought Jon Alter into the call) to help.

    Resolution:

    1. CommonEnum.h, MiniPrinterFunctions.h, and MiniPrinterFunctions.m need to be added to the module's Xcode project. They are in the Classes folder, but they will not get compiled if they are not added to the project. To do this, open the module's Xcode project with Xcode, grab the files in Finder and drag them into the 'Classes' folder in the Xcode project. 2. The application project needs to be able to find the StarIO framework at build time. a. In Finder, move the StarIO.framework from the root of the module into the platform folder in the module. This will package the framework with the module when it is built. b. In the module's Xcode project, remove the framework (it will now show up as red) and re-add it in its new location c. In the module.xcconfig file add FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS as seen below. This will allow the application to find the framework. Note: Be sure to change the module's version number in these paths whenever the module version is changed. FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS=$(SRCROOT)/../../modules/iphone/starprinter.com/1/platform /Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/modules/iphone/starprinter.com/1/platform ~/Library/Application\ Support/Titanium/modules/iphone/starprinter.com/1/platform OTHER_LDFLAGS=$(inherited) -framework ExternalAccessory -framework StarIO -frameworkFoundation

    I think I might have a path forward without having to do anything too radical... details forthcoming after some more tests
