-ObjC

Linking Against Your Library

Select your application project to go to the project editor, then select your application target to go to the target editor. Select the build phases tab. Disclose the “Link Binary with Libraries” phase and click the plus button in that phase. Choose your static library and add it to the phase. Your application will now link against your library.

Select the Build Settings tab in your application target editor. Find the “Other Linker Flags” build setting. Add the flag -ObjC to this build setting’s value if it is not already present. This flag will tell the linker to link all Objective-C classes and categories from static libraries into your application, even if the linker can’t tell that they are used. This is needed because Objective-C is a dynamic language and the linker can’t always tell which classes and categories are used by your application code.
