Custom Framework for iOS

This entry is for my future reference.

In iOS & MacOSX development, a framework is basically a folder contains headers, nib files, images, object files and other files. Apple provides a list of frameworks along with iOS SDK. Unfortunately, Apple does not provide (or intentionally hided) the ability for Xcode to create custom iOS framework. Without custom framework, it will be troublesome to provide pre-built libraries with UI to external parties. Fortunately with some tricks/hacks one can create a static link custom framework. Please refer to following references.
