# Universal XCFramework build example
Below are instructions for building TDLib for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and also macOS.
2021-09-06 12:58:13 +02:00
If you need only a macOS build for the current architecture, take a look at [TDLib build instructions generator](https://tdlib.github.io/td/build.html).
For example of usage take a look at our [Swift example](https://github.com/tdlib/td/tree/master/example/swift).
To compile `TDLib` you will need to:
* Install the latest Xcode via `xcode-select --install` or downloading it from [Xcode website](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/).
It is not enough to install only command line developer tools to build `TDLib` for iOS.
* Install other build dependencies using [Homebrew](https://brew.sh):
```
brew install gperf cmake coreutils
```
* If you don't want to build `TDLib` for macOS first, you **must** pregenerate required source code files using `CMake` prepare_cross_compiling target:
```
cd <path to TDLib sources>
mkdir native-build
cd native-build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --target prepare_cross_compiling
```
* Build OpenSSL for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS:
```
cd <path to TDLib sources>/example/ios
./build-openssl.sh
```

Here we use scripts from [Python Apple support](https://github.com/beeware/Python-Apple-support), but any other OpenSSL build should work too.
[Python Apple support](https://github.com/beeware/Python-Apple-support) has known problems with spaces in the path to the current directory, so
2021-09-06 12:58:13 +02:00
you need to ensure that there are no spaces in the path.
Built OpenSSL libraries should be stored in the directory `third_party/openssl/<platform>`, because the next script will rely on this location.
* Build TDLib for iOS, watchOS, tvOS, and macOS:
```
cd <path to TDLib sources>/example/ios
./build.sh
```

This may take a while, because TDLib will be built about 16 times.
Resulting XCFramework will work on any architecture and even on a simulator.
We use [CMake/iOS.cmake](https://github.com/tdlib/td/blob/master/CMake/iOS.cmake) toolchain, other toolchains may work too.
2021-09-06 12:58:13 +02:00
Built libraries and XCFramework will be stored in `tdjson` directory.
Documentation for all available classes and methods can be found at https://core.telegram.org/tdlib/docs.

If you receive an "error: SDK "appletvsimulator" cannot be located", you need to run the command "sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" before running ./build.sh.
