Development environment
To develop VLC for iOS, you need:
- OS X 10.10 Yosemite (or later)
- Latest Xcode version (version 6 works so far)
- A correct shell (we recommend iTerm2 and zsh)
- CocoaPods (for dependency management)
Get the source
We provide source code packages for every release. You can find the latest on our Download VLC for iOS website. Older releases are also available.
Build it
Install the dependencies
pod update
Wait, and grab a coffee.
Open the VLC.xcworkspace and run!
Deploy
Open the .xcworkspace (not .xcodeproj) in Xcode and click on Run.
Buliding release version needs code signing
Before running simulator in Xcode, run .sh with -s first; Before running iphoneos in Xcode, run .sh without -s first.
