Making an SDK for iOS

Question

I'm a bit confused about the semantics of an SDK, and how to make one for iOS. My understanding is that an SDK is essentially an API that implements all functionality necessary in building the thing it's for. I found a good explanation for the difference between API and SDK here.

Now my question, though, is how do I create an "SDK" for iOS. Do I go into Xcode and create a new Cocoa Touch Static Library project? And what's the difference between that and Cocoa Touch Framework?

Should I follow this tutorial to create my SDK?

Your question is answered here. The term "SDK" generally refers to a possibly large collections of frameworks and libraries (as in "The iOS SDK").
