Is it possible to reference other common framework without including it multiple times? about ios-framework HOT 3 CLOSED

No. You'll need to inform any devs using your framework of the required dependencies.

Hi jverkoey.

First of all thank you very much for your detailed description how to develop a framework!

Now I have a problem and I don't know what's the best way to avoid errors described below:

I have created 2 different frameworks and both depend on the AFNetworking framework. I have imported all classes to both frameworks.

Now when I add these two frameworks to my third party application which depends as well on the AFNetworking framework I did receive duplicate symbol errors at link time. The error log tells me, that both frameworks has duplicated symbol. See:

duplicate symbol _OBJC_IVAR_$_AFURLConnectionOperation._outputStream in:
    /Users/dominik/Projects/Abacus/ios/AbaTrack/AbaWeatherForecast.framework/AbaWeatherForecast(AFURLConnectionOperation.o)
    /Users/dominik/Projects/Abacus/ios/AbaTrack/AbaOSM.framework/AbaOSM(AFURLConnectionOperation.o)

Could you please tell me what's the "right" way to deal with external dependencies during framework development?
Do I have to rename all the AFNetworking classes with prefixes in both frameworks? Or is there a better way to avoid those errors?

Thanks in advance!
