Loading a nib that's included in a Framework [duplicate]

Question

Can you reference Xib files from static libraries on the iPhone?

I have created an iOS framework and it includes a xib view. When I debugged the program, this line of code worked fine:

MyViewController *controller = [[MyViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"MyView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];

However, when I 'reference' the framework from another project - the nib is no longer in the 'mainBundle'. What should I do with the code above (that is part of the framework) so it loads from the framework and not the consuming application project?

Answer 1

The framework in question should have a bundle identifier in its Info.plist file typically. In the application that makes use of this custom framework, you should be able to access resources in this bundle by:

NSString *frameworkBundleID = @"com.yourCompany.YourFrameworkBundleID";
NSBundle *frameworkBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:frameworkBundleID];

This is the NSBundle from which you can access framework resources.

EDIT:

There appears to be an alternate (possibly better) means of accessing the bundle in question.

e.g.:

NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleWithURL:[[NSBundle mainBundle] URLForResource:@"MyLibraryResources" withExtension:@"bundle"]];
