using shared library in a plugin

[Mika S]

I am writing a plugin for ios. The objective c code uses a shared library. How do I specify in plugin.xml that the shared library is needed ?

You can check the plugin.xml spec here https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/plugin_ref/spec.html

For .a libraries

<source-file src="src/ios/someLib.a"/>




If you talk about a system framework, then you can use 

<framework src="social.framework"/>

If it's your own framework

<framework src="relative/path/to/my.framework" custom="true" />

Thanks. 

On the internet I've read how ios disallows shared libraries on apps in the app store. Does this affect publishing cordova apps on app store too? That is can i build cordova apps that use a library and then publish on app store

I'm not really sure what do you call shared libraries, but if it's forbidden for iOS apps it's forbidden for cordova apps too
