A lot of Xcode projects require you to add additional frameworks to link against. Here’s how:
- Select the main project listing in the left column.
- Select Build Phases from the tabs near the top.
- Click the ‘+’ button in the “Link Binary With Libraries” section (you may have to twist it open.
- Choose the framework(s) you want to add, and click the “Add” button.

/ June 19, 2012Thanks for the quick tutorial. I always have one issue with adding frameworks. When I add them they end up on the top level of my navigation bar. I don’t like them cluttering my navigation up, so I drag them into my frameworks folder. This then “delinks” them from my project. Then I have to remove them from the linked library list and drag the copies that are now in my frameworks folder into the linked library list. I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions? Does that make sense? Thanks Andrew Wells
