>Some will say if you supply object files so that the end user can relink, that's fine.

It's not "some will say"; supplying object files for your code and source for the LGPL library is specifically listed as an option in the LGPL itself.

yes - but that option is followed with "...so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library."

[LGPL 2.1, section 6a]

Can an iOS user do that? I would not like to depend on saying "Yes" to a court.
