Should I create iOS 8 new feature called Frameworks / Extensions to share a simple Utility class used among more projects? How do you share common application logic? I thought I will just drag a swift textfile in projects without checking Copy items if needed checkmark. Am I doing right? I found here a promising tutorial with fancy inbuilt animation: [LINK] And this youtube video tutorial is useful too: [this video]

Cites Tema · 2015-04 · Stack Overflow · on “Embedded Binaries with iOS Framework”
I was able to create iOS Framework for Xcode as shown in that video:- [this video] On 5:00 they say that framework must be added to Embeded Binaries. If I add it to Embeded Binaries then it works. It is not required to add GoogleAds.framework to Embeded Binaries. Adding to Embeded Binaries looks a bit "hacky" comparing to Googles solution. So I think this tutorial is missing some step. My question is: How can I make a framework that works without adding it to Embed Binaries?

I have packed my utility methods written in Swift into a Cocoa Touch Framework , and embedded into my app as this tutorial says: [this video] It works well, but when I want to Submit to App Store, or create an Ad hoc Archive, it raise a lot of declaration error. What am I missing?

Cites János · 2015-06 · Stack Overflow · on “Add Cocoa Touch Framework for debugging”
I went though on this [this video] tutorial to link my Cocoa Touch Framework to my app. It works for iOS device but not for simulator. Why? I get a lot of linking error when simulator build product was added, but it works when iOS device build product is added.

Cites user3892683 · 2015-08 · Stack Overflow · on “How to share and keep dynamic libaries up to date?”
So I watched the whole video ("Building modern frameworks") here [LINK] and I still have some questions. The last 11 minutes is the actual demo if you want to watch it, but to sum up he creates a framework and then stops. He does not show how to share it or place it in other projects. 1.) In order to use the frameworks in other projects I have to import both the simulator framework and the device framework to work? Is that correct? 2.) Can I copy the actual framework out of the build folder to use in other projects? 3.) Is it possible to keep the framework up to date among different projects? Like change method A in the first project and the change is also visible in the second project? 4.)

I have created an Objective-C .framework file, and attempting to put into into a project. I have copied the framework from the "Debug-iphoneos" folder into the new project folder, as well as set the framework in Linked Frameworks and Libraries and Embedded Binaries. When I try to run the project containing the framework I get the error ld: framework not found ExampleFramework Linker Command Failed With Exit Code 1 I tried following this video, which simply builds a swift framework and adds it to a project, but this seems to require different steps for objective-c [this video]
