    Static libraries don’t link each other. You need a final executable (in this case the app) or something for all the symbols in the static libraries to resolve. You can have liba.a reference symbols that are going to be in libb.a, but you’ll probably need both liba.a and libb.a to link the app. What ultimately ends up being needed depends on the app.
