Hey Steve -
You would encounter a similar problem if you directly launched an
application built from a project that had an application and framework
target where the application linked the framework. The reason for this
is that frameworks have install paths. An Install path is a location a
framework dylib advertises as its normal install location. When
another dylib (in this case your plugin) links a framework, it embeds
the framework's install location inside of itself, and uses that
install location to find the framework at launch time. In this case,
your ibplugin bundle is most likely failing to find the framework
created by the framework target in the IBPlugin project template. This
is expected because the framework isn't in its advertised install
location, it's in your Xcode build directory. Using Console.app, you
should be able to find some relevant information as to why this isn't
working. The reason it works when you "build & go" from Xcode is that
Xcode sets the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH environment variable before
launching the copy of Interface Builder used to debug your plugin. You
can read about the DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH environment variable in the
dyld man page.
If you'd like to run the release version of your plugin/framework, you
can invoke 'sudo xcode install' from the terminal. After doing this,
there will be a folder in /tmp named "YourProjectName.dst". You can
install this build version of your application with "sudo ditto /tmp/
YourProjectName.dst /". Doing this will place a copy of both your
plugin and framework in their install locations. After doing this, you
can load the plugin using any of the normal mechanisms.
Good Luck -

Hello,
When I create a new xcode project of type Interface Builder Plugin,
and then build and run, everything works fine in the interface
builder window that pops up. However, if I then go into the release
folder and double-click on "MyIBPlugin.ibplugin", I get this error
message:
The document “MyIBPlugin.ibplugin” could not be opened. The bundle
is damaged or missing necessary resources.
Try reinstalling the bundle.
This also happens if I open Interface Builder and go to the
preferences window, go to the plug-ins pane, click the + button,
then try adding the MyIBPluginFramework.framework file.
Does anyone have any idea what is needed to fix this problem?
