How to make a fat library for MonoTouch in XCode


  1.  New Project in XCode ( i have version 4.3.3 )
  2. In Architectures from project options set the fallowing: $(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT) armv6
  3. on the valid architectures set "armv6 armv7 i386" values
  4. on the Build Phases tab, add the Run Script code:
    # Version 2.0 (updated for Xcode 4, with some fixes)
    # Changes:
    #    - Works with xcode 4, even when running xcode 3 projects (Workarounds for apple bugs)
    #    - Faster / better: only runs lipo once, instead of once per recursion
    #    - Added some debugging statemetns that can be switched on/off by changing the DEBUG_THIS_SCRIPT variable to "true"
    #    - Fixed some typos
    #
    # Purpose:
    #   Create a static library for iPhone from within XCode
    #   Because Apple staff DELIBERATELY broke Xcode to make this impossible from the GUI (Xcode 3.2.3 specifically states this in the Release notes!)
    #   ...no, I don't understand why they did this!

    # Based on: original script from Eonil (main changes: Eonil's script WILL NOT WORK in Xcode GUI - it WILL CRASH YOUR COMPUTER)

    5. Generate for IPhone Simulator 
    6. Use the a file generated in ../Debug-Universal.
