Loading code from a framework for a custom control in IBDesignable

Question

I\'ve implemented a custom control in a OS X application that works fine. When the control is drawn it uses code from a non system Framework. The control is written in swift

Answer 1

The solutions is to set the Installation Directory build setting for the Framework target in Xcode to @rpath. Then in the Xcode project that builds the Application add to the "Runpath Search Paths" build setting of the Application target the value: @loader_path/../Frameworks.

Using @rpath instead of @executable_path is much more flexible.

The two blog posts that helped me work this out are:
