Original Summary

I like making tools for my personal use, and since I have an iphone, I've had to essentially make webapps and dedicate a port to them so I can access them on my phone. I have made native apps before, but I always had to borrow a mac from someone for a few days because Apple only allows xcode to build and install apps, even if they aren't going to be published. I thought this was stupid, so, I made "iosc". Essentially it uses the already freely available swift compiler and LLVM's linker (swifts linker just autorejects ios targets), then uses the public Xcode xip (from Apple's website) to extract the iOS SDK to support uikit, foundation, swiftui, and swiftdata, and any other framework in the sdk (I had to write most of the swift macros as windows dlls). Then, I also reimplemented signing (with a free apple id), and installing on device via usb. This one was the most fun part- apples auth libraries are only compiled for android, so I had to write a loader that runs the android binary directly on windows via a custom elf loader + implementations of android/linux functions it imports. Try it out: https://github.com/DiamondDeadMaw/iosc . Setup is a bit of a process, but the tool walks you through it fairly well, and afterwards it just works. Note: This doesn't really support actually publishing an app to the app store, as Apple explicitly prohibits that. Its indended for personal use primarily. Also, I haven't included package manager support yet. I'd love some help with it, if anyone's interested. Also also, no Linux support. I dont use linux on my primary machine. Sorry. Feel free to fork/PR! I'll be happy to help you get started, and point out all the stuff you'd have to swap out.   submitted by   /u/floofysox [link]   [comments]
