Update the Tin framework in an existing project.


There are several reasons you might want or need to update the Tin framwork in an existing project. There could be a bug fix, or a new feature in the framework and you want to take advantage of that improvement. Or, you may have updated Xcode and and now have a new version of the compiler that is no longer compatible with the older version of the framework. The example in the video below is that later case.

1. Remove the existing Tin framework in the project

When prompted in the dialog, choose "Move to Trash"

2. Drag the Tin Framework into the Project Navigator.

Copy items if needed should be checked ON.

Before you add the Tin Framework into your Project, you will need a copy of the Framework. You can download the framework from the GitHub repo, and build it yourself. Or, find the latest release, and there will be a zip of the framework binary. The latest release at this time is here. Here is a direct link to the framework zip.

3. Add the Tin Framework to Project Settings, General, Embedded Binaries.

Note that doing this also adds Tin to the Linked Frameworks and Libraries section.

4. Product -> Clean

This step will remove the cached compiled components that Xcode has stored from previous build commands.

5. Product -> Build

Rebuild the project.
