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...
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.

Dropbox StaffThanks 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.
- Greg-DBIf you want to build and add the framework directly, there are a few extra steps you'll need to do. You can find the instructions for that method here:
https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-obj-c#manually-add-subproject
Please try those out and let us know if you're still running in to any issues. If so, please share the full output you're getting.You are still not giving me a direct answer. I downloaded the project from GitHub as a zip, compiled the framework, and added the framework to my own project. Should this be adequate? Or do I have to embed it as a subproject to make it work?
- Greg-DBNo, I don't believe that would be sufficient. You'll need to follow the instructions here:
