为什么 Xcode 7 显示 *.tbd 而不是 *.dylib?

Why Xcode 7 shows *.tbd instead of *.dylib?

Xcode 7 在 Target > BuildPhases > Link Binary With Libraries > 点击 + 按钮

选择要添加的框架时,您找不到*.dylib,您会看到*.tbd。

这是什么原因?

**需要dylib的朋友,可以参考这个

  1. 选择"Add other"
  2. 选择文件后 window 执行 "CMD"+Shift+G(转到文件夹)并键入 /usr/lib/
  3. 从 /user/lib 您可以找到 *.dylib 文件

我已经搜索过 Google 但到目前为止我唯一能找到的是以下内容 quote from the Apple developer forums:

For those who are curious, the .tbd files are new "text-based stub libraries", that provide a much more compact version of the stub libraries for use in the SDK, and help to significantly reduce its download size.

希望很快会有更多文档。

更新

例如,这里是libsqlite3.tbd的全部内容。它只是一个文本文件。请注意安装名称是 libsqlite3.dylib.

我在

中找到了这个和其他 .tbd 文件
Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/lib/

如果您转到 Xcode 项目的“常规”选项卡,然后在“链接框架和库”下添加一个库,您还可以看到一个 .tbd 文件。 .tbd 文件将被复制到您的项目中。

因此,.dylib 文件似乎是您的项目正在使用的实际二进制代码库,位于用户设备上的 /usr/lib/ 目录中。另一方面,.tbd 文件只是一个包含在您的项目中的文本文件,用作所需 .dylib 二进制文件的 link。由于这个文本文件比二进制库小很多,所以SDK的下载体积更小。

目前我只是根据所提供的信息进行推测,如有错误请指正。

.dylib 是包含机器代码的已编译二进制文件。 .tbd 是一个较小的文本文件,类似于跨平台模块映射。

基于文本的 dylib 存根 (.tbd)

这是一种优化,意味着您不必将 .dylib 文件(存在于目标上)复制到您的包(例如应用程序)中。此文件不包含对文件大小有重大影响的二进制代码。

仅适用于:

  1. Dynamic libraries 因为它们是运行时链接的
  2. 文件应该在目标上有相关路径。因此,它是 standard system libraries.
  3. 的最佳去处

对于 iOS 开发,您可以在此处找到可以使用的 .tbd 文件

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS.sdk/usr/lib

例如libiconv.tbd看起来像

此文件包含一些元信息,例如:

  • .dylib 位置
  • 符号(class的属性、方法)
  • 建筑
  • 平台
