Framework not found, Compiler warnings and lots of console lines

[Matthew Boehm]

Hello,

I'm trying to integrate Growl in to my application. I downloaded the latest Growl.Framework and added it to my project. (XCode 5.0.2). In Project -> Build Phases, under 'Link Binary with Libraries' there are two entries "Cocoa.Framework" and "Growl.Framework". Both listed as 'Required'.  Under 'Copy Bundle Resources' there are 8 items, one of which is "Growl.Framework ...in MyApp/Frameworks".

Problem #1:

When I build the app and attempt to run, it crashes with this:

dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/Growl.framework/Versions/A/Growl Referenced from: 

 /Users/drmac/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyApp-bhqduygklqrkkveqhhghxunyahsp/Build/Products/Debug/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/MyApp
Reason: image not found

If I look in to the built app, I don't see a frameworks directory:

ls -la MyApp.app/Contents/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 6 drmac staff 204 Feb 12 12:47 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 drmac staff 102 Feb 12 12:47 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 drmac staff 1559 Feb 12 12:47 Info.plist
drwxr-xr-x 3 drmac staff 102 Feb 12 12:47 MacOS
-rw-r--r-- 1 drmac staff 8 Feb 12 12:47 PkgInfo
drwxr-xr-x 8 drmac staff 272 Feb 12 12:47 Resources

It is in here:

ls -la MyApp.app/Contents/Resources/

total 40

drwxr-xr-x  8 drmac  staff    272 Feb 12 12:47 .

drwxr-xr-x  6 drmac  staff    204 Feb 12 12:47 ..

drwxr-xr-x  3 drmac  staff    102 Feb 12 12:47 Base.lproj

-rw-r--r--@ 1 drmac  staff    396 Feb 12 12:47 Growl Registration Ticket.plist

drwxr-xr-x  6 drmac  staff    204 Feb 12 12:47 Growl.framework

drwxr-xr-x  4 drmac  staff    136 Feb 12 12:47 en.lproj

So why isn't it A) being copied to the correct destination and B) not being loaded?

So I manually created a Frameworks directory in Contents and moved Growl.framework there and the app runs. I shouldn't have to do that. I must be missing a setting that says to copy the framework.

Problem #2: 

I have no need for callbacks. So, according to the documentation, I just have to do this:

[GrowlApplicationBridge setGrowlDelegate:@""];

That produces a compiler warning: Sending 'NSString *' to parameter of incompatible type 'id<GrowlApplicationBridgeDelegate>'
What's the best way to handle this? Is setting to nil OK? Seems to be so far in my testing.

Problem #3:

Last one. If I do all the above, and properly name the .plist to "Growl Registration Ticket.growlRegDict", when the app runs, I get about 100 lines of this in console:

2014-02-12 12:59:57.135 GuildMonitor[60454:303] Failed to notify due to missing registration, queue and reregister

I don't understand that. What didn't I do?

Thanks!

A Framework isn't a Resource, so it doesn't belong in the Copy Resources build phase. You'll want to create a Copy Files build phase, and point it at the Frameworks directory, and put the Growl.framework there.

it looks like setting nil is ok here.

would need to see the contents of that file to know what's wrong, since you don't specify a delegate or implement any of the optional methods it uses to figure out what information to send growl its relying entirely on what's in that file.
