nested .bundle's possible?

[mrtristan]

i'm about to distribute a little framework i created with this tutorial and along with it i'll be providing a resource .bundle. In this framework i utilize some open source code that itself has an associated resource bundle. What i would like to do, if possible, is distribute a single .bundle that has within itself the open source library's bundle. is this possible? messing around myself, i've marked the OS library's .bundle in my framework as having a target membership of my framework's bundle... it seems to all link up just fine until i drop that bundle in to any project. the inner bundle is 'red' if i expand it to see its contents.

am i out of luck or is there a trick to pulling this off? thanks!

i've confirmed that this does indeed work. the item was marked red perhaps due to some xcode cache funkiness. after coming back to trying this after a few days the item is no longer marked in red text and i can successfully load from the inner bundle.

This is pretty smart! Make sure to let the consumers of your framework know that you've included another open source project's bundle in your framework's bundle :)

yea definitely. as part of the onboarding process of a client before they get my framework my first question to them is what (if any) 3rd party sources and libraries they utilize.
