Xcode: Linked Frameworks vs Other Frameworks

Question

Based on background C, what does “Linked Frames” and “Other Frames” mean?

Looking at my build target, I see that Linked Frameworks are actually connected (dynamically, I suppose, how will static link work?)

What is Other Frames?

To test, I used the NSString class, which is defined in the Foundation file. The fund is in a different framework and is not related to the goal.

Alas, the compilation ended without warning and the executable was executed.

Answer 1

These are just groups in the hierarchy of groups and files. They have no meaning than this.

The frames referenced in other Framework are there, so you can twist them to easily see their headers, because (for example) Cocoa.framework does not actually contain the physical frameworks Foundation.framework, AppKit.framework and the CoreData.framework Directories. It just acts as if it were being executed when binding, for the convenience of developers.
