Hi there, I would like to create a static lib from my KMM project (into my Swift framework project), any recommended best practice?

I have built a static library from my KMM project but the generated header is more geared towards C rather than Objective-C or Swift. The dynamic framework generated from the KMM project has the correct/Swift-y header I'd like to have. Any idea how can I combine the best of these two worlds?

Hello! I think you’re searching for isStatic option. Please have a look at its description and usage here.

Thanks! I will check it out!

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] There is also a staticLib native target... ummm.. what is the difference between staticLib vs. framework + isStatis = true?

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] I tried the isStatic option and it gave me a .klib binary. I don't think this is what I am looking for... huh... I tried the packForXcode task and I got the thing I wanted. I will try that and see how it goes.

The latter is about creating a static framework. See this thread at stackoverflow, there are some good answers for it: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15331056/library-static-dynamic-or-framework-project-inside-another-project
