I´m trying to share code between two iOS targets, e.g. an iPhone target and an iPad target (Universal target is not wanted here).
What are the advantages and downsides of a Cocoa Touch Framework vs. a Cocoa Touch Static Library for achieving this?
If I understood it correctly, the Static Library and the app code will be merged together into one Binary, while the combination of Framework and app code will be two binaries. I guess this means more signing and more DSYM files to upload to crash reporting tools?
Also, a Framework should/could also work standalone while a Static Library always needs other code.
What about Tests, Distribution to the App Store, Debugging (Breakpoints) and compile time? Which option performs better for what task?
