Custom skins for iOS library

Question

Background

I need to deliver library which will be used in other projets. It's front end to server API - contains API client and a few views to input data, make choices, commit changes - usual UI with very generic look & feel. Developer calls "start" it launches view, guides user throught some screens and then launches delegate definied by said developer.

EDIT: To clarify, I've that library up and running, my main concern is what is the best approach when it comes to applying skin from outside of the library.

What I want to achieve

• To allow customisation of views by developers using my library
• Server API logic should not be altered by developers(so compiled library)
• Skinning should be as simple as possible

TL/DR

Is it possible to create compiled iOS library that contains views which can be skinned by typical iOS dev without 1000 page manual :)

Answer 1

Yes, you can distribute it as universal static library or .framework. Currnently both options require custom build scripts, but there are samples like Build fat static library (device + simulator) using Xcode and SDK 4+ . However how you make skinning without 1000 page manual is up to you ;)
