A note from a Chilkat customer using the IOS 4.3/5.0 libraries: …when running in the simulator, it ended up in gdb with a “__dlyd__dlyd_start message. I looked around on Google and found this: http://blog.ginzburgconsulting.com/__dyld__dyld_start-error-when-launching-your-ios-app/ So I added the -weak-lSystem flag in Xcode (Targets -> Your target -> Build Setting tab) and it’s running now.

XCode Linker will automatically choose dylib over static libs
A note about building (linking) a project in XCode: If a static lib’s corresponding dylib is in a library search path during linking, Xcode will link to the dylib instead of the static lib.
