No module.a output on build

Question

When I build by custom native module, xCode reports success and runs in inspector, but no module.a is produced. I've looked in many locations and searched all directories, but no luck. I changed ForgeInspector target to UniversalForgeModule. Tried changing to release build. Still no module.a in a build folder.

Answer 1

Two key steps for any other XCode beginners out there:

1. You can't just change the drop down in the Build Window. Choose Product > Scheme > UniversalForgeModule.
2. Build using Product > Build For > Profiling to get a Release build that contains the custom script that produces module.a
