Hi

there are many tutorials for how to create universal static library..

but they didnt expain what 'universal' static library means ..

is that mean , this static library can run both of 'device' and 'simulator' ?

or run on both of 32bit and 64bit device ?

or all of them (32bit and 64bit device and simulator)

or other meaning ?

why it is called 'universal' ?

thanks 🙂

Normally, Xcode generates a static library for each architecture (ARMx, i386, etc.) separately, if we combine them and generate a single library for all architectures, this library known as a Universal object file or Universal Static Library.
