docs(release): add iOS build instructions + shell helper
The development host is Linux x86_64; the iOS toolchain (Xcode, xcrun,
codesign, iPhoneOS SDK) is macOS-only under Apple licence and cannot
be cross-compiled from Linux. This commit adds the instructions for
producing the iOS v0.2.0-beta.1 build on a macOS host plus a bash
helper that automates the build itself.
docs/release/ios-build.md (v0.1.0):
- Toolchain pin table (macOS 14+, Xcode 26+ per DEC-021, iOS SDK
26+, iOS deployment target 13.0 per DEC-003, Flutter 3.41.9,
Rust 1.95 stable with aarch64-apple-ios / aarch64-apple-ios-sim /
x86_64-apple-ios targets, CocoaPods 1.16+, FRB 2.12.0).
- macOS host options: owned hardware vs rental (MacStadium,
MacinCloud, Scaleway Apple silicon, AWS EC2 Mac) vs borrowed
Mac. Realistic cost ranges per option.
- Step-by-step Homebrew + Rust + Flutter + CocoaPods install.
- Pre-built libopus.a per arch via a CMake invocation that
targets the iOS SDK explicitly. Mirrors the Android build's
LIBOPUS_LIB_DIR wrap-dir trick.
- flutter create --platforms=ios to scaffold the ios/ folder
(the product Flutter app was created with only linux + android).
- Edits required to ios/Podfile and ios/Runner/Info.plist:
iOS 13 deployment target (DEC-003), NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
for the audio engine, UIBackgroundModes=audio for screen-locked
playback.
- Three cargo build --target invocations for device + both
simulator slices.
- lipo merge of the two simulator slices into one .a.
- xcodebuild -create-xcframework to produce
target/ChanoraBridge.xcframework with the right slices.
- flutter build ios --release --no-codesign or
flutter build ipa --release --export-method development for
a signed .ipa.
- Install paths: xcrun devicectl for wired install, altool for
TestFlight upload.
- Smoke-test instructions with the same hostname-resolution
caveat that affects the Android Beta (hickory-resolver does
not work on iOS; use the literal IP).
- Packaging into chanora-v0.2.0-beta.1-ios.ipa.
- Known-issue table covering: audiopus_sys cmake build failures
on iOS, microphone permission prompt prerequisites,
AVAudioSession category quirks for voice transmission, code-
signing failure modes, TestFlight rejection causes.
- Reproducibility note (build is not bit-reproducible).
tools/build-ios.sh:
- Parameter switches: --version, --no-codesign,
--regenerate-bindings, --export-method.
- Verifies xcodebuild, xcrun, cargo, rustc, flutter, pod, lipo
on PATH.
- Adds the three rustup iOS targets if missing.
- Verifies each pre-built libopus.a exists at the expected wrap
dir before starting.
- Optionally regenerates FRB bindings.
- Three cargo build runs (device + Apple-silicon sim + Intel
sim), each with LIBOPUS_LIB_DIR pointed at its arch's wrap dir
and the audiopus_sys build-cache wiped per target.
- lipo + xcodebuild -create-xcframework.
- flutter pub get + pod install + flutter build {ios,ipa}.
- Copies the .ipa to a versioned path under $HOME and prints
SHA-256.
This is documentation + helper only; no actual iOS binaries are
produced by this commit. The Linux development host cannot run
Xcode. To produce the binaries, follow §3-§14 of
docs/release/ios-build.md on a macOS host, or run
tools/build-ios.sh there.
DEC-011.1 iOS audio status remains Deferred; the doc notes that
cpal's iOS backend has not been empirically verified and the
AVAudioSession category likely needs configuration for voice
transmission. Both are Beta+ items.
