How do I use static libraries in Objective-C (OS X)?

Question

I'm a beginner programmer using Xcode, and I'm trying to make a static library so that I don't have to copy files over every time I write a new program. Problem is, I could not find a satisfactory explanation of how to do this -- I've tried a few tutorials and I'm sure I've skipped some steps. So:

I have an Xcode project with my class files. It's got a class to deal with large numbers called Large -- Large.h and Large.m. I chose to make it a static library, and I built it.

Then, I made a new project and followed this. I tried to #import "Large.h", but Xcode still wouldn't recognize the class Large as it does in my projects that have a copy of the source files themselves. I'm probably doing a ton of things wrong... What do I do? Thanks a lot!

Have you done a search here on SO? The "Related" sidebar (below right) turns up a whole bunch of questions that look useful; similar questions also would've come up in the drop-down menu when you were creating this question. Did you look at those? — jscs
