Development environment

To develop VLC for iOS, you need:

  • Mac OS X Lion (or later)
  • Latest XCode version (4.6.3 works so far)
  • A correct shell (we recommend iTerm2 and zsh)

Get the source

If you develop VLC for iOS, it is highly recommended that you use the git version:

git clone git://git.videolan.org/vlc-ports/ios.git

Build it

You need to build it for the simulator and for the devices.

sh buildAspenProject.sh -s

Wait, and grab a coffee.

sh buildAspenProject.sh

Grab a second coffee. :)

Deploy

Open the project in Xcode and click on Run.

Send patches
