Why is Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/ in my xcode project empty?

Question

I'm new to xcode and cocoa.

According to the Framework Programming Guide , there is a certain directory structure that I should follow when making a framework. I recently started a framework project using xcode, and was surprised to find that this directory structure was not provided for me automatically.

From the Programming Guide: (so that you don't have to clidk on that link if you don't want to)

Listing 1 A simple framework bundle

MyFramework.framework/
MyFramework  -> Versions/Current/MyFramework
Resources    -> Versions/Current/Resources
Versions/
    A/
        MyFramework
        Resources/
            English.lproj/
                InfoPlist.strings
            Info.plist
    Current  -> A

Do I need to make this directory structure by hand? I've built the framework product and included it in another project, following the steps in this question . While the project does build, Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/ is empty.

My own explorations have lead me to realize that the file system described above is created in the Product (see comment below). This changes the question: Why is Frameworks/MyFramework.framework/ empty, despite that all the of public headers exist in the framework Product?

Thanks!

Answer 1

The problem was that I hadn't set the role of the headers to public. Once I did that, then I was able to see all the files in the framework.
