    Detailed Description

    A Library item is a base item for native libraries and can have type set to one of the following values: "dynamiclibrary", "staticlibrary", "loadablemodule".

    The default type value is "dynamiclibrary" except for iOS prior to version 8, in which case the default value is "staticlibrary".

    This item can automatically install the library target (and library symlinks on Unix) and separated debug information.

    For Android targets, the following applies:

    • The Product.type property value contains "android.nativelibrary" in addition to "dynamiclibrary".
    • There is a dependency on the cpp and Android.ndk modules.
