How to use libarchive in iOS in Xcode?

I want to add libarchive to my app to be able to extract tar.gz.

As install instruction says, I took following steps:

Now I have a libarchive.14.dzlib file. I added it to the project, and wants to call i.e. the following, like proposed in examples

r = archive_read_open_filename(a, "archive.tar", 10240);

but, method is not declared.

enter image description here

I guess I have to add a header to the project?! It is a dylib, I am not sure. But I do not found any appropriate header file in the build folder.

How can I use libarchive, what am I missing to call one method, which methods are available where is a header?

Yes, you need to add the header. The archive.h header that is in the libarchive directory is sufficient, you don't need the other ones.

If you correctly downloaded libarchive sources, they should include source .cpp and .h files - look here https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/tree/master/libarchive

Looks like you've simply forgotten to include the header file and so the compiler assumes any undefined functions return int.
