Build Static Library in XCode 4 for iPhone Simulator

Question

I can build a static library in XCode 4 using the iOS Device scheme but not the iPhone Simulator scheme. It says "Build succeeded" but I do not see the requisite .a file magically appear under Products. If I choose the iOS Device scheme I see the .a file. I know I'm missing something obvious here, please help!

Answer 1

Check your build directory, if there's a *.a file in Release-iphonesimulator and Release-iphoneos then everything should be fine. But do you really need to use separate schemes? Here's very good guide to static libraries on Xcode 4 . This guide describes how to make libraries universal, so *.a files for simulator and device are merged into one single file.
