CocoaLibSpotify - Library not loaded

Question

I've created a simple mac app that uses the Cocoa wrapper for libspotify.

When I export the project as an Application and try to run it, it crashes immediately.

Crash report:

Application Specific Information:
  dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries

Dyld Error Message:
  Library not loaded: @rpath/CocoaLibSpotify.framework/Versions/A/CocoaLibSpotify
  Referenced from: /Users/USER/Desktop/Wunderkiste.app/Contents/MacOS/Wunderkiste
  Reason: image not found

otool output:

$ otool -L ~/Desktop/Wunderkiste.app/Contents/MacOS/Wunderkiste

Project - Build Phases

Any ideas?

The Runtime Search Paths build setting in your project needs to contain @loader_path/../Frameworks to tell the dynamic linker where to find CocoaLibSpotify at runtime.

See Linking and Install Names by Mike Ash for a detailed discussion.
