Creating and using a Library

I'm rather new to XCode. 😊

I've created a Library (Using OS X/Framework & Library/Cocoa Library).

XCode compiles and creates a .dylib file, placing into Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/appname/Build/Products/Debug/appname.dylib.

How do I now make this Library available to used in my apps? 😕

I've added this Library in a test app under Build Phases/Link Binary With Libraries but am not sure from here how to access my Library functions in the test app.

Ideas?

Thanks

When you're writing a Cocoa application, you include the header file Cocoa.h to call Cocoa functions. Calling functions from your library in your test app is similar. Include the header file that contains the library's functions so you can call those functions in the test app.
