iOS compatibility? #287

Open FunkyMuse opened 6 months ago

FunkyMuse commented 6 months ago

Hello, can this library be incorporated into an iOS application?

Is there a guide how to do so or anything if possible?

gubatron commented 6 months ago

we never tried since bittorrent apps are not allowed on ios. I suppose you want to take a look at the swig folder and then inside there's a jam config file for .dylib (macOS) for the closest to what you need to compile for iOS.

I've developed zero code on iOS :(

you'd probably have to make a similar file to this, for IOS builds

https://github.com/frostwire/frostwire-jlibtorrent/blob/master/swig/build-macos-arm64.sh

I'd suggest naming it build-ios-arm64.sh

and the config one, config/ios-arm64-config.jam

hope you can get something going, would be awesome bringing jlibtorrent to iOS

Thanks for the info, I'm building something using https://www.jetbrains.com/kotlin-multiplatform/

I'm targeting iOS, Android phones, tablets, TV, Desktop (macos, windows and Linux), previously I've used this library only for Android phones, TV and tablets, but now that Compose UI is multiplatform I'm targeting more platforms.

If the MacOS build you've suggested works also on iOS that'll be a blast, also https://www.zdnet.com/article/apple-hints-that-ios-17-2-will-enable-sideloading-apps-but-not-for-everyone/.

The idea is to share most of the torrent code with the exception of the way they're downloaded on Android only.

I'll see how it'll go, my work is an adaptation of https://github.com/masterwok/simple-torrent-android

If that worked it'd be a blast indeed, I doubt it will though, but it can be a reference to do the build for iOS.

After developments in the EU, against the monopolistic behavior of the apple store it seems we should start taking seriously adding an iOS build :)
