IPhone Static Library Testing Module with Xcode 3

I am writing several static libraries for the iPhone and wish to have a set of unit tests as well. Xcode 3 provides templates for both static libraries and unit tests, but I wonder how they should fit in a static library design?

In my static library project, I created a goal for unit testing, but I also expect to create an executable file to run unit tests, and not for classes in a static library.

What is the procedure for doing this?

Note that some test classes (for example, anything that relies on system calls, such as [UIApplication sharedApplication], require a separate purpose, while pure logic tests do not.

Create a new project using Unit Test and see what is added - basically you can do the same thing easily, create a new goal and select “Unit Test Bundle” as the target type.

you need to add all your .m files to the unit test target. (Just drag and drop!)

If people still have problems using static libraries:

I created an article that explains how to create static libraries and how to use them in projects:

Xcode: full explanation of how to use static libraries: http://www.sodeso.nl/?p=822

And for partial testing of some of the static libraries, I don’t have explanations on how to configure it, but I created a static library template that uses the Google Toolkit for Map unit platform, which you can download and add to your Xcode installation:
