It's not that Apple isn't allowing the library, it's that the version you are linking to is x86, and so it won't run on the iPhone. You need to build the library using the iPhone SDK, then link to that version.

Alternatively, you can be a little naughty and include the 3rd-party source in your main project. Naughty, but it'll prove the point that Apple isn't stopping you, and show whether the library will run on the phone OK.

It's cleaner to keep the code in a separately-built library project though.
