Hello

I want to modify chrome browser and want to integrate in other ios application.I had followed steps given on url http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/build-instructions-ios.
It get compiled and static library is also generated. Can anyone let me know the procedure to use that base.a and other dependent files generated in another xcode project.

or by stating Documentation of APIs to start browser and for other operations.

Did you read the section highlighted in yellow at the top of that
page? As it says, not all the code has been upstreamed yet, meaning
it's not possible to actually build all of Chrome for iOS.

If your goal is just to use some utility methods or classes out of
base/, then you would use that static library just as you would any
other static library of utilities. This list isn't the right place to
get help with learning how to use static libraries in building iOS
projects.

It's not clear what you are asking here; embedding an application in
another application isn't a meaningful concept on iOS, so I don't know
what "APIs to start browser" even means. If what you want is an iOS
version of the Chromium Embedded Framework, there is no such thing.

Thanks for replying Stuart

I want to use Complete Chrome browser,  but it will also be fine that i can use some of methods and class from Base Library or browser  Library.
Is there any documentations of methods which describes general functionality of Methods implemented in these library?

For sure, no. The code changes quickly every single day.

What you mean by "browser Library"? The static library "browser"
defined in chrome/chrome_browser.gypi?

I think for base library you may want to try
