Question

Possible to create a static library (.a) file for Xcode with Flash Builder?

Is it possible to write code in AIR that can be compiled to static library (.a) to be used in an iPad app?

Hey paulhart83,

My guess is therabbitwindfall's answer was correct but where you able to find a solution to your question? If so, please do share. I need to embed my app within another app and the only way is through a static library. I'd rather not have to re-develop my app in Xcode in order to generate the .a file.

Thanks.

Air 3,1 allow you use native extensions

1) using xcode you write your extenstion and linking it with FlashRuntimeExtensions.h for xcode

2) make ane from .a file

3) do events for adding this extenstion

few month ago I done commercial extension that receive UDID of device

I think you explained the oposite of what I asked? I want to make a .a file for Xcode FROM AIR.

Thanks

Oh, I see. Sorry.

No, you can't. There is special format of binary file.
