Adding a framework to existing project

Question

I'm adding a 'Cocoa Touch Framework' target to an existing project on XCode 6. Will I be able to use the built framework on older iOS versions? (iOS 6 & 7)

Answer 1

As far as I know you can work around and support iOS7 with dynamic libraries.

The application must weak link against the framework. To do so, in your application target's “Link Binary With Libraries” Build Phase, designate the framework as “Optional”. This will weakly link against the framework.

Then, you need to follow the guidelines provided by apple .
