How to use Xcode performance tools with a static library project?

Question

I have two projects - one with a static target library and a unit test target - one with a target application dependent on the static library, and my own unit test target

In a static library project, I can only perform “assembly” or “assembly and analysis”. If I create a unit test target, the tests run, but there seems to be no way to run anything with performance tools so that I can check for leaks, etc.

What is the best way to use Xcode performance tools with a static library project?

• add a simple executable goal to the goal of testing a static library?
  (Not quite sure what that would mean)

• add a simple application target that runs unit tests or otherwise uses the library

• something else?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Your second approach is correct. You need some kind of productivity tool app to chew on. Tools, such as tools, are runtime analysis tools; a static library alone cannot be analyzed using such a tool (what is static analysis intended for).
