iOs Build and include release and dev lib

[franciscocarodiaz]

Two questions:

1. According to the documentation to build release version: mkdir myBuild cd myBuild ../configure --ios --cpu arm64 This will result in a debug configuration; if you want a release build, add the --release argument.

But, according shakaplayer documentation for widevine, I have to use: ../configure --ios --eme-impl ~/widevine_prebuilt_cdm/shaka_plugin/release_cdm.json

Which one is right?

2. How can I include both version of shakaplayer: dev and release in my project?

You can't have both versions in the same binary since it would cause duplicate symbols. You can make both builds and use Xcode settings to select which one to use based on build settings. For example, our sample build.sh file makes a specific build based on what we are currently building for.

Note there's a difference between Debug/Release in Shaka Embedded and the dev/release in the CDM. Debug/Release in Embedded refers to whether we build with debug symbols and extra debug checks. Release mode will be faster and smaller. Using dev_cdm.json vs release_cdm.json will select different CDM versions; the "dev" version is for testing and allows using a debugger; the "release" version is what you use when you release your app. The two options are mutually exclusive and you can use any combination.

Do you know which one of this command is used to generated release version: ../configure --ios --cpu arm64 or ../configure --ios --eme-impl ~/widevine_prebuilt_cdm/shaka_plugin/release_cdm.json

Neither, both those build the Debug version since they don't include --release. Here are some examples:

# Release build for arm64
../configure --ios --cpu arm64 --release
# Release build for arm64 with dev CDM (testing only)
../configure --ios --cpu arm64 --release --eme-impl ~/widevine_prebuilt_cdm/shaka_plugin/dev_cdm.json
# Release build for arm64 with release CDM
../configure --ios --cpu arm64 --release --eme-impl ~/widevine_prebuilt_cdm/shaka_plugin/release_cdm.json
