If it's for an application that you own, I don't know why you'd need to
use SIMBL. Just having the category in your project and linking to the
framework should be enough. SIMBL is for injecting code into other
apps, not your own.

It's a good idea to make your own header, in any case, that lists the
functions/methods etc in the private framework that you'll be making
reference to. This at least will quell the compiler warnings.

As for the linker warnings, you haven't said what they are.

Sounds like it would definitely be overkill!
