NativeScript and iOS Dynamic Framework with XIBs

My team has developed an iOS library for drawing charts. This library is 100% implemented in Objective C and is compiled as a Dynamic Framework.

We want to create a proof of concept app to show how to consume this within NativeScript.

I have read, digested and understood How to use Native Libraries with NativeScript. All looks good :)

Then I discover that the iOS Dynamic Framework, which contains XIBs, cannot be loaded in NativeScript.

Is there any example of consuming a third party iOS Library which includes Xibs? Or is this simply not possible, and we must re-work the iOS library without the use of XIBs?

Follow these steps:

  1. Wrap your framework in NativeScript plugin.

  2. Add the plugin to the app: tns plugin add ./path/to/plugin/folder

  3. Consume the xib:

    var frameworkBundle = NSBundle.bundleForClass(SomeClassFromTheFramework.class);
frameworkBundle.loadNibNamedOwnerOptions("MyXib", owner, null);

Let me know if you encounter any errors/issues?
