Xcode : Adding a project as a build dependency

Im playing around with the soundcloud api, in its instructions it says to

  • drag SoundCloudAPI.xcodeproj into your project
  • add it as a build dependency

I can drag the project in pretty easily, but how does one accomplish the next step?


To add it as a dependency do the following:

  • Highlight the added project in your file explorer within xcode. In the directory browser window to the right it should show a file with a .a extension. There is a checkbox under the target column (target icon), check it.
  • Right-Click on your Target (under the targets item in the file explorer) and choose Get Info
  • On the general tab is a Direct Dependencies section. Hit the plus button
  • Choose the project and click Add Target

  1. Select your project in the navigator on left.
  2. Open up the drawer in the middle pane and select your target.
  3. Select Build Phases
  4. Target Dependencies is an option at that point.
