I am developing a iOS static library and use CoreLocation and MapKit framework within the static library. Xcode 5 with LLVM 5 has new build setting 'Enable Modules (C and Objective-C)' and 'Link frameworks Automatically'
These settings eliminate the need to add the dependent framework while including the static library in Target application.
However, this seems to be working only if '-ObjC' flag is added to other linker flags, even though the flag is unnecessary as I do not have Objective C categories to be loaded from static library.
You can find a sample project here (http://cl.ly/0Z1i1U1w3C3P) to try this out. Please let me know any suggestions. Is there any interconnection between -ObjC flag and new build setting in LLVM5?
Regarding Sample app:
There are two projects 1. libTest 2. StaticLibApp
Open StaticLib App and libTest is added as its subproject libTest has class libTest.h and .m with a single class method +(void)check. Where I am trying to refer to CLLocation and MKMapView objects.
StaticLibApp compiles fine if the '-ObjC' flag is added to other linker flags, otherwise it raises a compile Error saying CLLocation and MKMapView class symbol not found.
