Cocoapods importing an external framework

Question

I built a Cocoapod which Crashlytics framework. I couldn't understand how to add the external framework (Crashlytics.framework) to the pod, so it will be imported on my project.

Is it possible?

I think this is something that should be directed directly to crashlytics' support:http://support.crashlytics.com/knowledgebase While at it, tell them to stop forcing their app installation on every dev computer :) — eladleb, May 13 '13 at 16:21
Agreed on that @eladleb, but I used Crashlytics as an example - it could be any other framework. — Roei, May 13 '13 at 20:08

If you can add the framework library to your Pod's source files, here's another way to do it. For Pod, 'MyPod', add the framework to a directory 'MyPodSubDirectory'. Then edit the podspec file as follows.

s.preserve_paths = 'MyPodSubDirectory/Crashlytics.framework'
s.xcconfig = { 'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-framework Crashlytics' }
s.vendored_frameworks = 'MyPodSubDirectory/Crashlytics.framework'

you don't have to add linker flags if you have already added it as a vendored framework:) – Daniel Galasko Nov 05 '14 at 11:37

This makes sense. But now how would I #import Crashlytics? Should `#import ` still work? In my case, the framework is OpenCV, and `#import ` does not work. – shmim Oct 14 '15 at 22:03
shmin, did you find a solution to #import ? – BoazGarty Jul 19 '16 at 07:54

You want to use the vendored_frameworks property.

that link doesn't refer to vendored_frameworks page. Please update it – Gabriel Goncalves Nov 24 '15 at 21:03
