How to build flatbuffers lib for iOS target to get a libflatbuffers.a

[shivendra14]

cmake -G "Xcode" gave me an xcodeproj that has target architecture as mac and iOS too.
Compiling the lib for mac gives me flatc, and libflatbuffers.a, but I am not able to compile this xcodeProj for iOS target.

I understand most of the code in flatbuffers being header only doesn't even need libflatbuffers.a, but I am using Parser which needs this library to be linked.

Can someone help me compile the the flatbuffers xcodeproj for iOS, so that I can get libflatbuffers.a that an iOS app can link to.

We should really have some iOS specific docs, or at least some hints in the Mac specific docs.

It appears iOS needs some CMake specific hackery we don't have: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10530849/how-to-generate-the-xcode-project-of-static-libs-for-ios-using-cmake
