Including plugins in Cocoa frameworks

Question

In the build process of an OS X framework I have a Copy Files build step, which copies 2 bundles to the PlugIns destination.

When I look in the built framework, they end up in Framework /Versions/A/Resources.

The related step in the build process:

PBXCp /Users/nephilim/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Graphing_Fun-egwutjdrujbsecgqukeyejeljxoo/Build/Products/Debug/GPHPieChart.bundle /Users/nephilim/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Graphing_Fun-egwutjdrujbsecgqukeyejeljxoo/Build/Products/Debug/Grapher.framework/Versions/A/Resources/GPHPieChart.bundle cd "/Users/nephilim/Documents/Development/Cocoa Projects/Graphing Fun" builtin-copy -exclude .DS_Store -exclude CVS -exclude .svn -exclude .git -exclude .hg -resolve-src-symlinks /Users/nephilim/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Graphing_Fun-egwutjdrujbsecgqukeyejeljxoo/Build/Products/Debug/GPHPieChart.bundle /Users/nephilim/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Graphing_Fun-egwutjdrujbsecgqukeyejeljxoo/Build/Products/Debug/Grapher.framework/ Versions/A/Resources

When I run the code below, I get the folder Framework /Plugins:

[[NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]] builtInPlugInsPath]

As such, I can't use my plugins this way. Is this an expected result, or a bug?

Context: I'd like to built my framework as basic as possible and extend it with plugins over time.

update

I tried using "PlugIns" as the destination for the copy files phase and it doesn't seem to work, Using "Wrapper" as the destination with "PlugIns" as the subpath does work however.

Change your copy files phase to copy your plugins to the plugins path...
