A very minor code change could enable the project to be built as a framework

I am trying to use the mopub-ios-sdk project in an app that uses Cocoapods for dependency management.

The Podfile has the “use_frameworks!” directive. More info: https://blog.cocoapods.org/CocoaPods-0.36/

MoPub doesn’t build successfully, because of an error here:

mopub/mopub-ios-sdk/blob/master/MoPubSDK/MoPub.m#L14


//
//  Copyright (c) 2014 MoPub. All rights reserved.

#import "MoPub.h"
#import "MPConstants.h"
#import "MPCoreInstanceProvider.h"
#import "MPGeolocationProvider.h"
#import "MPLogging.h"
#import "MPRewardedVideo.h"
#import "MPRewardedVideoCustomEvent+Caching.h"
#import "MPIdentityProvider.h"
#import "MPWebView.h"
#import "MOPUBExperimentProvider.h"


@interface MoPub ()


@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *globalMediationSettings;


@end

The “FABKitProtocol.h” and “Fabric+FABKits.h” files aren’t found when building as a framework.

One suggestion is to simply change:

#import "FABKitProtocol.h"
#import "Fabric+FABKits.h"

into:

#import <FABKitProtocol.h>
#import <Fabric+FABKits.h>

I tested this. MoPub compiles and still shows ads.

In any case, please consider supporting the “use_frameworks!” option of Cocoapods, as more and more useful pods require to be built as frameworks. For one thing, all IBDesignable functionality requires it.
