Building for iOS¶

Doriax can target iOS for your exported game projects, using the Metal graphics backend and the native Apple app backend.

Requirements¶

• A Mac with Xcode installed
• An Apple Developer account for deploying to physical devices
• CMake (for building the engine from source)

Workflow¶

1. Install Xcode and its Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install).
2. Open the generated Xcode workspace for your exported project.
3. Select a simulator or a connected device, then build and run from Xcode.

Command-line build¶

The engine repository contains Xcode workspace/project templates under engine/workspaces/xcode/. For simulator testing, use Xcode or xcodebuild:

cd engine/workspaces/xcode
xcodebuild build -sdk iphonesimulator -project Doriax.xcodeproj \
    -configuration Debug -scheme "Doriax iOS"

iOS runtime builds use Metal and set the deployment target to iOS 13.0 in the engine configuration.
