Building the iOS Kernel

The kernel currently builds on macOS with Xcode. The iOS output is fplayercore.xcframework, carrying both a device arm64 slice and an Apple Silicon simulator arm64 slice.

Prerequisites

brew install git yasm nasm cmake
xcode-select --install

Initialize Dependencies

Run these from the root of the ijkplayer repository:

bash scripts/init/init-ios.sh
bash scripts/init/init-ios-openssl.sh

Build OpenSSL and FFmpeg

bash scripts/build/ios/compile-openssl.sh all
bash scripts/build/ios/compile-ffmpeg.sh all

Build fplayercore

xcodebuild -project platform/ios/IJKMediaPlayer/IJKMediaPlayer.xcodeproj \
  -scheme fplayercore -configuration Release -sdk iphoneos -arch arm64 \
  -derivedDataPath build/xcode-ios-iphoneos CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build

xcodebuild -project platform/ios/IJKMediaPlayer/IJKMediaPlayer.xcodeproj \
  -scheme fplayercore -configuration Release -sdk iphonesimulator -arch arm64 \
  -derivedDataPath build/xcode-ios-simulator CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO build

Merge the two frameworks with xcodebuild -create-xcframework to get fplayercore.xcframework. fplayer consumes it as fplayercore-ios.xcframework.zip from the official release.
