As I recall the project file only supports Mac OS and the project is outdated and needs to add some of the missing content.

This is our list of ports, except there has been no news from the macos port maintainer for a long time so i suppose it should be considered deprecated. There are no plans for additional ports, but contributors are welcome.

Afaik, our libretro port is available for those 2 platforms.

It looks like I need to replace the SDL related code with Metal if I need it to run on iOS.

It would be great if you could continue to maintain it!

I'm torn between using MAME or FBNeo right now, MAME has the same problem, there is no official way to compile for iOS, and if I end up going with FBNeo, I'll try to add support for iOS.

Again, contributors are welcome, so feel free to write/maintain the apple ports if you are an apple dev.

We are not interested in writing/maintaining those apple ports ourselves for multiple reasons (no interest in apple devices, no interest in paying a subscription to apple for signing binaries, ...), hence why the libretro port is considered as a good enough solution atm.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly.

One last thing, the (unmaintained) macos port can be found at https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/tree/master/src/burner/macos and its "makefiles" at https://github.com/finalburnneo/FBNeo/tree/master/projectfiles/xcode I believe it uses a mix of sdl and metal so it might be a good starting point if you decide to write that port. Don't hesitate if you have more questions.
