I want to know what’s the best practice to use when integrating external SDK to my project, specifically how to handle the *.a file and the *.xcodeproj file.
Examples of external SDK packages: PhoneGap, Facebook, Google-Analytic.
Is there a reason to copy the *.xcodeproj to my existing project or is it enough to just use the *.a file?
Are there pros and cons for having more than one *.xcodeproj file in a single project?
You would never copy the .xcodeproj into your app.
Typically you would add the library (./a) or any headers and implementation files required (.h & .m).
Often you would compile the 3rd party SDK xcode project to a library file and include that compiled library file.
