Add images, string file to static library in iPhone

Question

I want to make a static library which basically displays some views and button. My client wants this to be distributed as a library to be used by other iPhone developers.

My doubts are

• Can we add images and other resources to the library .a file?
• How can we include localization to this static library?(localizable.strings??)

Answer 1

A library plus images and resources is exactly what a framework is for, not a static library. (Disclaimer: I'm a Mac programmer, not an iPhone programmer, so for all I know maybe frameworks are less common on iPhone.)
