Answer 1

Oh, you are fast.

Since Xcode 7 and iOS 9, Apple did a lot to strip the size of apps, including changing .dylib to .tbd.

To solve your problem, you don't need to add library & framework. Instead, you can add the library by changing the following option:

Other Linker Flags > Add "-l{yourlibraryname} (no space after -l)

In your case, you can add -liconv in Other Linker Flags.

For those who are curious, the .tbd files are new "text-based stub libraries", that provide a much more compact version of the stub libraries for use in the SDK, and help significantly reduce its download size.
