Summary

You want to create an iOS binary framework, which is already compiled source code with resources and a defined interface. This allows you to distribute intellectual property without sharing the underlying code. You'll need to set up a demo app, create a new target for your binary framework, add a class to it, use it in your demo app, export the framework, create a second test app, integrate the binary framework into it, and publish the test app. The process also includes using a tool called LIPO (Low-Level Instrumentation Protocol) to support both simulators and devices. Once you have a fully production-ready framework, you can add functionality and share it with others.
