How to include a static library inside another static library on IOS

Question

I have a static library let's call it third_party.a , I have integrated this in my util_library.a by adding it to Link binary with library option in Build Phase on Xocde. Now when I integrate util_library in my testingApp , it doesn't build as it cannot file the headers of third_party library . Is there a way where I don't have to include the headers of third_party in my testingApp and build it.

Answer 1

If it can't build because of headers, its because you have included a header in a public header file. You need to refactor your code so that the third party header file is only included in .cpp/.c files, or included in header files that aren't included by the user's application.
