Question

I am interested in using Firemonkey for producing an iOS app. There are several native C libraries I would like to use in this application. I know that iOS does not allow for dynamic link libraries, but is there a way to use static libraries in this firemonkey iOS app?

Answer 1

Yes, you can use C static libraries to link with Firemonkey iOS appli using xcode.
I did it using Xcode outside RADStudio X2. With RADStudio I generated xcode project. On the mac I openned the xcode project and added :

function C_func(double :x):double; cdecl; external;

{$linklib my_c_lib.a}

I created static library project in xcode (named my_c_lib) with one C file containing :

double C_func(double x)
{
    return x+2.5;
}

I suppose that in the same manner you can use already compiled static libs.
