Thank you.
The code below will display the first view controller from a storyboard
embedded in a custom framework when called from an app that links to the
framework.
Yes, the final goal is to call this method from within a method in a class in
the framework, but, this is really helpful in getting up and running from an
app that links to a custom framework.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
// Within the viewDidLoad of the target app that is linking to the
framework that has a storyboard,
// this will allow you to display the first view controller of the
storyboard within the framework.
NSString *myFrameworkIdentifier = @"com.myCompany.testFramework";
NSString *myStoryboardName = @"Insert your storyboard's name here without
the extension";
NSBundle *myBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithIdentifier:myFrameworkIdentifier];
UIStoryboard *storyboardInstance = [UIStoryboard
storyboardWithName:myStoryboardName bundle:myBundle];
UIViewController *initialViewControllerInstance = [storyboardInstance
instantiateInitialViewController];
[self presentViewController:initialViewControllerInstance animated:NO
completion:NULL];
}
Even if the storyboard files aren't data files. I do need to treat them
somewhat as data files since they are not automatically added to the framework
and they must be referenced via the bundle.
Even though the storyboard files are renamed to storyboardc, loading them in
the manner above works as expected.
And if you're considering making a project with a framework target, make sure
that there are no spaces at all in the path to any part of your project or your
framework search paths get all screwed up by Xcode. This means that if you do,
the framework will build, but none of the headers will be able to be found in
the target application that links to the framework.
Thanks Jens and Q for pushing me in the right direction.
