Answer 1

If by static you mean it operates on the class and not the instance of the class, you do it like this:

//In the header file:
+ (NSString *)myStaticString;

//In the implementation file:
+ (NSString *)myStaticString { return @"Hello world!"; }

If by static you mean global, then just declare it outside the scope of a class.

@property declarations are only for instance (non-class) methods. They cannot be used to declare accessors for a static variable.

Here's another way:

NSString *const someString = @"TheStringHere";
