Do you know how to declare static class variables? I put the following
lines in the class definition.

@interface SyncFilter : NSObject {
static NSString *str1 = nil;
static NSString *str2 = nil;
}

However, the compiler complains:
SyncFilter.h:13: parse error before `static'

What's wrong with my declaration?

Well, that you did not read ObjC documentation.

There are no class variables in ObjC at all (but, so far as your example goes, I think you had instance variables in mind).

I can create static variable using the above syntax in function.

And the static variables it has are those of plain C, with exactly the plain C syntax and semantics.

I guess you wanted just this:

@implementation SyncFilter
static NSString *str1=nil,*str2=nil;
...
@end

In case you wanted _true_ class variables, you have to use an NSDictionary keyed by class ID or name. But I guess that is not the case -- the need for true class variables is pretty rare.
