Is this support official or does it just work by chance and might stop working in the future? I've tried to find an official word from Apple concerning dlopen() on iOS but I haven't been successful so far. Is there one? > But of course, you can only open and link with libraries that have been code > signed properly. > We use dlopen to load at run-time frameworks properly code signed > and included in the application bundle So how does that work in practice? Should I create a Cocoa Touch Framework, code sign it, include it in the "Embedded binaries" section in Xcode in my project and select "Optional" for that framework in the "Linked frameworks and Libraries" section in Xcode and then just use dlopen() on the framework's executable as listed in the frameworks Info.plist? I can imagine that this works but once again the question is whether or not Apple officially supports directly dlopen()ing a framework executable? If they do, that would be great but if this is something that just happens to work right now but might not do so in future versions I'd rather do it in a more conventional way. -- Best regards, Andreas Falkenhahn mailto:andr...@falkenhahn.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
