Here's an old example of how it can (apparently; presumably according to Google's lawyers) be done for iOS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4302517

Google has now killed off Sparrow entirely, but they used to make it available for download so that an end-user could in principle re-link it, to comply with the LGPL.

So if I were to statically link my application but release the object files and let user's re-compile it with another version of the library then that would satisfy the LGPL license? If so I think I might be headed back to Qt.

Seems so: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#LGPLStaticVsDynami...

It would appear that once again the FUD is unjustified, and in reality GNU/SFLC licenses well made

Or just dynamically link.

I'm asking for iOS which won't allow it.
