    <p>I have a static library Xcode 4 project that includes a home-brewed rendering engine, and I re-use this engine in multiple apps. This engine uses OpenGL ES 2.0, and by extension, shaders. As shaders got more complicated, I moved away from storing them as NSStrings in a source file, and now store them as standalone text files with the .vert and .frag extensions.</p> <p>This works fine for apps that include the rendering engine in their own source; the shaders are simply added to the app's "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase, and loaded at runtime into NSStrings and compiled, linked, etc.</p> <p>This strategy doesn't work at all if the rendering engine that loads these shaders is in a static library project; there is no bundle into which to copy resources. I'm currently forced to have every client project of the static lib rendering engine include their own copies of the shaders in their own "Copy Bundle Resources" build phase. This is a giant pain, and defeats a large part of the convenience of making the render engine into a static lib in the first place.</p> <p>I suppose this is specific instance of the more general problem of "Resources in a Static Library". The best solution I can think of is copying the shader files' contents into strings in a header file, which are then included in the rendering engine's source. I may even be able to automate the conversion from .frag to .h with some "Run Scripts" build phase magic, but it seems unfortunately complicated.</p> <p>Is there anything I'm missing?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
