Build for iOS

Bellow are instructions for building TdLib for iOS, watchOS and also macOS.

If you need just macOS build take a look here.

For example of usage take a look here.

Build OpenSSL

First, you should build OpenSSL library for ios

./build-openssl.sh

In this example we are using scripts from Python Apple support, but any other OpenSSL builds should work too. Libraries will be stored in third_party/openssl/<platfrom>. The next script will rely on this location.

Build TdLib

Run:

./build.sh

This may take a while, because TdLib will be build about 8 times. As an upside resulting library for iOS will work on any architecture (arv7, armv7s, arm64) and even on a simulator. We use CMake/iOS.cmake toolchain, other toolchains may work too.

Libraries will be store in tdjson directory.
