HI ! ^ ^

I want to create static library, and I want to use static library in every projects I want.

I just wonder 'code signing identity' should be set in static library..

Just leave it as default setting 'Don't Code Sign' ??

Static libraries aren't codesigned because they're not standalone executable binaries. They get included into your app's binary (or a framework's binary) at build time in Xcode and then that app or framework binary is signed.

It's very likely that you want to create a framework instead of a shared library, I'd recommend continuing this discussion in the other thread that you created about the difference between a static library and a framework.
