How build a static library with maximum compatibility on iOS?

Question

I'm writing a static library for ios developers.

How build a static library with maximum compatibility on iOS? In other words, support different types of projects in future. Such as, 3.0~ version, ARC/non-ARC project, xib/storyboard, simulator/iphone/ipad.

What are the most important things I should consider?

1. set deploy target to check compatibility?
2. use 'lipo' to merge tow platform lib?
3. do not use ARC in my code?

any suggestion? Thanks!

I hope it helps!

At least, it will help you with the "universal" (arm6/arm7/i386) part.
