Is it possible to add additional .dylib files to ipa export

[fatduckling]

Hi,

In my .gdextension file, I have my main game library defined like:

ios.arm64 = "res://libGameLibrary_ios.dylib"

When I export the game to iOS IPA file, this dylib file gets packaged in the IPA file, which is great.

However, when my libGameLibrary_ios.dylib has dependencies on other libraries, such as libtbb.12.dylib, libssl.2.dylib, libcrypto.2.dylib, etc, is there any way to include these additional libraries in the IPA file as well?

I could manually open the generated XCode project and add the additional libraries like I'm doing now, but ideally I'd like to automate this process so I don't have to manually add the project on every build.

For other platforms it's not an issue because I can just copy the required shared libraries to the executable folder - it's only an issue for IPA files.

Any suggestions?

Apparently this is possible with the [dependencies] section. Will look into it now, thanks

You can use [dependencies] section of the .gdextension file.

[dependencies]
ios.arm64 = {
  "res://bin/libtbb.12.dylib": "",
  "res://bin/libssl.2.dylib": ""
}

Note: second part of each pair is target path, but it's used only on macOS and should be empty on other platforms.

Thanks very much, this works perfectly! Much appreciated ❤️
