'''TODO:''' Describe how to use XCode and create_project to compile for iOS using the official Apple toolchain.
You can compile ScummVM with the official tools from Apple and get it to work on your non-jailbroken iPhone or iPad.
 
== Requirements ==
You will need:
* a macOS computer
* Xcode (you can get it for free from the Mac App Store)
* A developer account. You can create one for free using your Apple ID (the same one used for iCloud or the Mac App Store) on the [https://developer.apple.com/membercenter/ Apple Developer Member Center].
* iOS libraries used by ScummVM. There is a link to a convenient package below in the build instruction.
 
Note: with a free developer account iOS App that you build will only be valid for 7 days and you will thus need to recompile and reinstall them each week.
 
== Creating the Xcode project ==
Clone the ScummVM repository from GitHub to get the source code:
<source lang="bash">
git clone https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm.git
</source>
 
Generate the create_project tool:
<source lang="bash">
cd scummvm/devtools/create_project/xcode
xcodebuild
</source>
 
Create a build directory, extract the [https://www.scummvm.org/frs/build/scummvm-ios7-libs.zip iOS libraries package] and generate the Xcode project
<source lang="bash">
cd ../../../..
mkdir build
cd build
</source>
 
Download the [https://www.scummvm.org/frs/build/scummvm-ios7-libs.zip iOS libraries package] and extract them in the build directory:
<source lang="bash">
unzip ~/Downloads/ScummVM-iOS-libraries.zip
</source>
 
Generate Xcode project and open it:
<source lang="bash">
../scummvm/devtools/create_project/xcode/build/Release/create_project ../scummvm --xcode --enable-fluidsynth --disable-bink --disable-mt32emu --disable-nasm --disable-opengl --disable-theora --disable-taskbar --disable-libcurl --disable-sdlnet
open scummvm.xcodeproj
</source>
 
== Compile and Deploy ==
In Xcode you need to configure the scummvm project:
* Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac.
* Select your iOS device (iPhone or iPad) at the top of the window (in the title bar).
* In the project ''General'' settings you need to specify a unique ''Bundle Identifier'' (for example ''org.yourname.scummvm'').
* You need to configure the ``Signing`` settings. Add an account by using your Apple ID if needed and then select it.
 
Then click on the Play button in the top left of the window to start the build. The App will be automatically installed on your device at the end of the build.
 
 
'''TODO:''' Add a bit more details.
 
 
There are some outdated instructions on [http://blog.pmlabs-apps.com/scummvm-on-ios-without-jailbreak/ this blog] that may still be useful as it is illustrated and has more details.
