.a is not being created during build

[bdparrish]

I am using Xcode 6, and a lib{$PROJECT_NAME}.a file is not being created during the build phase. Is there something that new that must be done in order for this file to be created?

I had the same issue, in my case the problem was that I was trying to the get the .a but I didn't actually add classes to the project. Once I added some "project" files it starts to generate the .a file.
