Hello all:

I can't seem to find any documentation on how to package up and distribute a custom control. I would like the control to be available in the "Control Selector" - that little panel that pops up when you click the "+" sign when in Interface builder and shows available controls.

The control will only be used in our applications, but it would be great to have something another developer can use rather than distributing source.

Can some one point me to a URL that explains how?

Thanks in advance for your time.

John

You have the option of a custom framework or custom library based on pods, swift package manager, etc but placing a custom UI control into the Xcode IDE is not supported hence why there is no documentation.

Thanks. I'll see how IB_DESIGNABLE and IB_INSPECTABLE work within a custom framework as I would like to keep everything together and a host application. If I discover anything I'll report back.
