How do I include libxslt in my iPhone app?_问答_开发者

I've heard that including libxslt.dylib is grounds for getting your app rejected. I don't know how accurate that is.

Nevertheless, I would like to include the latest version of libxslt. I'开发者_开发问答d like to do the same thing with libxml2, as well as other libraries in the future.

What is the correct way to include a code library like this in my app?

My app was rejected with the following message from Apple.

XYZ app cannot be posted to the App Store because it is using private or undocumented APIs:

Private Symbol References xsltApplyStylesheet xsltCleanupGlobals xsltFreeStylesheet xsltInit xsltParseStylesheetFile xsltSaveResultToString

As you know, as outlined in the iPhone Developer Program License Agreement section 3.3.1, the use of non-public APIs is not permitted. Before your application can be reviewed by the App Review Team, please resolve this issue and upload a new binary to iTunes Connect.

It was my understanding that the libxslt and libxml2 libraries were in fact present on the device and are available via the pull down menu in Xcode. I dynamically link link with these two libraries and my app works beautifully on the device. Hence, the libraries must be on the device. Why would I need to build these libraries from scratch as static libraries and increase the size of my app?

I can't find any clear way to work around this, aside from not using xml and xslt. That makes no sense at all!

Hilton, have you succeeded in submitting an app to iTunes that uses xslt?

I finally got libxslt to build in Xcode, link to my app, and evade the app store rejectionbot.

Basically you have to build libxslt statically and change the symbol names so they don't match the ones that Apple looks for. All symbols xsltFoo() must be changed to zsltFoo(). Also the name of the library itself must be changed from libxslt.a to libzslt.a.

Here's a how to do it in 10 easy steps :)

Create a libxslt subdirectory and put libxslt-1.1.26.tar.gz into it.
Right click on Target -> YourApp and select Add -> New Build Phase -> New Run Script Build Phase
Copy the build script below
Rename the the build phase from "Run Script" to "Build libxslt" and make it first in the list
Build your project, which will cause libxslt to be configured and built and installed in libxslt/dist
Right click on Frameworks and select Add -> Existing Files... and then select libxslt/dist/lib/libzslt.a
Go to Project -> Edit Project Settings -> Build
Under Search Paths, edit Header Search Paths and add libxslt/dist/include
Add #include <libxslt/whatever.h> to your code as needed normally
Use zsltFoo instead of xsltFoo everywhere in your code

Here is the libxslt build script referenced in step #3:

Hey Hilton, any chance you could let us know how you managed to statically link the LIBXSLT library into your app please?

I'm having exactly the same issue as quite a few others but at the moment at least, I have no idea how to go about turning the dynamic library into a static one.

Thanks.

EDIT: Check out this Version of XSLT in iPhone

My app was rejected for using LibXSLT so instead I manually added the source code and did it that way. My app was approved a few days ago.

You can only dynamically link to libraries that are already present on the device.

If you want to link to an external library that is not present on the device, you will have to compile it yourself to a static library and link that instead.

Based on Archie's answer, this script (with XCode 5 command line tools) generates a multi-architecture libzslt suitable for inclusion in a project, compatible with iOS 6 and iOS 7 projects (though I haven't included iOS 7 64 bit).

This solution assumes libxslt-1.1.28 is unpacked and in the same directory as the script.

The script creates a directory dependencies which contains the header and lib files. You can include them in an Xcode project by adjusting the header and linker search paths.
