Hi all,
I am considering purchasing MonoTouch to do some iPhone programming in. I am wondering though, if I compile a static library (*.a) in MonoTouch (using C#) to call in Xcode as a standard static library.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I have looked around with no results. I even emailed Mono, but no response.
Many thanks, Brett
I haven't kept up with the latest developments in iPhone development, but the last I heard was that Apple was denying release to the AppStore for any application that used a runtime that wasn't Objective-C/CocoaTouch. I suggest you do some additional research first.
We have had apps go through without issue. 3.3.1 was more targeted at flash plus the EU are taking steps to stop Apple doing this and I hear there are law suites being prepared in America.
I'm not sure I understand your question though. Are you trying to use a *.a in MT? If so, you need to look at the btouch project:

and http://code.google.com/p/btouch-library/
Here is a blogpost I wrote on bringing three20 into MT:
