The frameworks' link path has changed after the project moved to another place

Question

please take a look at the picture:

It's my project structure:

1. 1 app(top one)
2. 3 frameworks (create by myself)
3. 1 cocoa pods static library(bottom one)

When I cmd+b, all the sub projects would be build start from the bottom one to the top one, here is no problem, everything are fine.

• To refer/link the frameworks, I drop the framework product to every sub project's /Build Phases/Link Binary With Libraries and /Build Phases/Copy Files.

The problem is:

• When I copy/move the project folder to another place (like ~/oldFolder/app to ~/newFolder/app) the sub project cannot finds the frameworks, it report Not Found Error, I need re-build and drop the framework product to link to fix the error.

It's too stupid and hard to work with other people, anyone can help?

p.s.: sorry for my poor english.

Answer 1

You can use $(SRCROOT) if you want to refer paths relative to your source directory . $(SRCROOT) will point where your project files are . apple doc

An example :

if you have a directory x in your MyApp folder which contains your project file then the folder x can be reffered as $(SRCROOT)/x. Enter this in frameworks path section in Build settings to refer to your library .

This all boils down to you not being able to change the location of the already imported frameworks right? This is an example with the FBSDKCoreKit.framework. If I were to change the folder location I would need to change the relative path. Click on the folder Icon right next to the name and choose the new location
