how can create static library , can add .a file on project in ios.

i tried doing couldn't it.

thanks in advance

if want create static lib mean refer link http://jaym2503.blogspot.in/2013/01/how-to-make-universal-static-library.html

step 1 : create new project, named "logger"

step 2 : create classes

you can create many classes wants, in our tutorial create 1 class named "logger". so, 2 files should in our resource. 1. logger.h 2. logger.m

step 3 : put useful code classes

step 4 : create new target

create new target file menu.

new target select cocoa touch static library

step 5 : add files compile resource

select "logger" target of static library go build phases in complied sources section, add .m , .mm files. in copy files section, add .h files , resource files.

build phases

step 6 : compile project static library target

compile project ios device compile project simulator can find 2 different .a files generated in build folders.

find .a file

step 7: make static library universal

you can find 2 different library now, 1 simulator , 1 ios devices.

create new folder , name loggermerge. copy liblogger.a file of debug-iphoneos folder "loggermerge" rename liblogger_device.a copy liblogger.a file of debug-iphonesimulator folder "loggermerge" rename liblogger_simulator.a open loggermerge folder terminal fire below command lipo -create "liblogger_simulator.a" "liblogger_device.a" -output "liblogger.a"

now, can find liblogger.a in loggermerge folder, universal static library file. now, 1 thing need headers, see above screenshot there folder called include in both build folder. copy header file folder.

step 8 : test static library

create new project, name testlogger import liblogger.a , header files import header file "logger.h" anywhere want use now, use logger class default practice. in our case, [logger log:@"test string"]; run project in simulator , device both that's it!! have own static library!!
