OpenCV for Apple platforms
This repository provides pre-built universal OpenCV binaries and demos for Apple platforms: iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, Mac, and simulators.
Supported platforms and architectures
Building OpenCV as an .xcframework library allows us to support multiple platforms with a single binary.
| Platform | Architecture | |
|---|---|---|
| iOS/iPadOS | ARM64 | ✅ |
| iOS/iPadOS simulator | ARM64 | ✅ |
| iOS/iPadOS simulator | x86_64 | ✅ |
| visionOS | ARM64 | ✅ |
| visionOS simulator | ARM64 | ✅ |
| Mac Catalyst | ARM64 | ✅ |
⬇️ Download opencv2.xcframework
How to run
This repository includes a sample project. Here's what you need to do:
- Download opencv2.xcframework.
- Create an Xcode multiplatform project.
- Add opencv2.xcframework under
Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content. - Create a Bridging Header.
- Create a Prefix Header.
- Add and populate our OpenCV wrapper.
- Select your build target (iPhone device, visionOS device, simulator, etc).
- Run.
