title: iOS static framework and static library
body: <p>This <a href="http://blog.bugsense.com/post/12330021520/creating-a-framework-for-ios" rel="nofollow">link</a> discusses how to create iOS static framework, and they said</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>With static libraries, everything else (including 
    the header files) you must distribute separately.</p>

  <p>Actually I found no difference between using static lib and framework, you can look at the Admob SDK (<a href="https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/" rel="nofollow">https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/docs/</a>), what they ask is just pull all the files in the XCode project, so I really don't understand why we need to use framework over just plain static lib, or am I missing something?</p>
