Braintree Payments Static Or Dynamic Library

Question

I am trying to find a static or dynamic (.a or .dylib) library for Braintree Payments (https://github.com/braintree/braintree_ios) for use in Embarcadero's RAD Studio (as I cant import the Xcode proj!). I tried to compile the project to a static library but got various compiler and then linking issues that I really didn't understand.

If anyone has managed to create a static library from it or has one they could point me in the right direction of I would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

I work as a developer at Braintree. Braintree does not offer a pre-built static library at this time, but we are considering adding this option in a future release. I recommend contacting support ([email protected]) if you need help and/or would like to give feedback.

Answer 2

Are you trying to build an iOS app using RAD Studio on Windows instead of XCode?

I would avoid that approach for two reasons. First, I wouldn't expect the RAD tools to be able to keep up with iOS features, so development would always lag behind. Second, it technically breaks the Apple development agreement, so there's a small risk your app could get rejected as a result.
