If some library is compiled in arm, is that mean I cannot use it in the simulator?

Question

I am referencing some library(lib***.a) which seems to be built for ARM? Does that mean I cannot build/run the whole application in the simulator(i386) environment?

you cannot run arm code on an x86 simulator and expect it to work, no. — old_timer, Aug 12 '13 at 14:56

That is correct, unless it is a "fat" static library, which includes the build for both the simulator and the device in the same library.

Alternatively, there may be a separate library file (usually with the same name) that you can substitute that is built for the simulator.
