Objective C Framework Install

I'm having some major issues here. I see there have been recent updates. I don't use GitHub or Carthage. Just trying to get something working. My question is whether or not I really need to imbed the subproject? Or does the compiled framework contain everything I need to add to my project?

  • FYI. I was finally able to extract what I needed from DBRoulette and got it working. My file handler is now able to connect, navigate folders, add a folder, delete file/folder, download, and upload. Got a few more test ahead, but the basics appear to be working.

    Thanks for the post! We don't offer the API v2 Objective-C SDK as a direct .framework download, but I'll be sure to pass this along as a feature request.

    You can find the three supported installation methods in the documentation here:

    https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#sdk-distribution

    We recommend using a package manager like CocoaPods or Carthage as it manages dependencies for you, and makes updating to newer versions of libraries in the future easier.

    If you're running in to any issues with any of the supported installations methods, please let us know the details so we can look into it and help.

      That wasn't exactly the question. I downloaded the package and did a compile on the source  to get the framework. Once that's done, can I get by with just adding the resulting compiled framework to my project? I tried that, but I'm getting some linker errors. It complains about architectures.
