[iOS] How to add external framework in Chrome project!

[Phu Nguyen]

Hi all!

I have a problem, i want to add Facebook.framework in to chromium project, It's able to do this?

Thanks!

To add a framework to a library, you need to do two things:

1. add the framework to the libs of the target that depends on it (libs += [ "Facebook.framework" ])

2. add the framework to the framework search path, by adding it to the cflags and ldflags of the target (common_flags = [ "-F", path_to_dir_with_framework ], cflags += common_flags, ld_flags += common_flags).

Usually this is done by defining a config object and then adding this to the target configs property. See for example how xctest_config is defined in src/build/config/ios/BUILD.gn.

Did it work for you? I am trying to add Firebase and can't. Tried adding the flags on a different places but the build always fails. It just can't find the framework.

This part may be a little tricky

I have to create a config just like in https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/build/config/ios/BUILD.gn?type=cs&q=+%22%22-F%22%22&sq=package:chromium&l=113

I also have to use path  such as

../../examples/objc/AppRTCMobile/ios

instead of

objc/AppRTCMobile/ios (most gn command use this path).

Hi German,

Thanks!

Hi ,

Is anybody successfully integrated any third party framework? It would be great if we can get some snippet or idea.

Regards,

Anand
