I do this in a dual way - using one location for debug, and another for the
built app:
#if DebugBuild
Const kHIDLib = "@executable_path/../../../libHIDUtilities.dylib"
#else
Const kHIDLib = "@executable_path/../Frameworks/libHIDUtilities.dylib"
#endif
Declare Function HIDGetFirstDeviceElement Lib kHIDLib(inDevicePtr as
integer, inElementTypeMask as integer) as integer
When I have built the final app, I copy the dylib inside the bundle and the
non-debugbuild line above finds the dylib. When I am running in debug, the
code above looks for the same dylib, *alongside* the debug app. This means
I don't have to build the app to test every time, and can still run in RB's
debug mode.
