## Download
|
||||
|
||||
Kiwix apps are made available primarily via the [Mac App
|
||||
Store](https://macos.kiwix.org).
|
||||
|
||||
Most recent versions of Kiwix support the three latest versions of the
|
||||
OSes (either iOS or macOS). Older versions of Kiwix being still
|
||||
downloadable for older versions of macOS and iOS on the Mac App Store.
|
||||
|
||||
### iPads & iPhones ###

## Developers

## Develop
|
||||
|
||||
Kiwix developers use to work with cutting-edge versions of both macOS
|
||||
and Xcode. [Continuous
|
||||
integration](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration)
|
||||
secures that the whole project still compiles on the next to last
|
||||
version of macOS with latest version of Xcode distributed on it.
|
||||
|
||||
### CPU Architectures
|
||||
|
||||
Kiwix compiles on both macOS with x86_64 or arm64 (M1, M2, ... family).
|
||||
|
||||
Kiwix for iOS and macOS can run, in both cases, on x86_64 or arm64.
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
To compile Kiwix you rely on the following compilation tools:
|
||||
* An [Apple Developer account](https://developer.apple.com) (doesn't require membership)
|
||||
* Latest Apple Developers Tools ([Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/))
|
||||
* Its command-line utilities (`xcode-select --install`)
|
||||
* `CoreKiwix.xcframework` ([libkiwix](https://github.com/kiwix/libkiwix))
|
||||
* `CoreKiwix.xcframework` ([libkiwix](https://github.com/kiwix/libkiwix) and [libzim](https://github.com/openzim/libzim))
|
||||
|
||||
### Creating `CoreKiwix.xcframework`
|
||||
### Steps
|
||||
|
||||
Instructions to build libkiwix at [on the kiwix-build repo](https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-build).
|
||||
To compile Kiwix, follow these steps:
|
||||
* Open project with Xcode `open Kiwix.xcodeproj/project.xcworkspace/`
|
||||
* Change the Bundle Identifier (in *Signing & Capabilities*)
|
||||
* Select appropriate Signing Certificate/Profile.
|
||||
|
||||
The xcframework is a bundle of a library for multiple architectures and/or platforms. The `CoreKiwix.xcframework` will contain libkiwix library for macOS archs and for iOS. You don't have to follow steps for other platform/arch if you don't need them.
|
||||
## Compile `CoreKiwix.xcframework` yourself
|
||||
|
||||
Following steps are done from kiwix-build root and assume your apple repository is at `../apple`.
|
||||
`CoreKiwix.xcframework` is [made
|
||||
available](https://dev.kiwix.org/apple/CoreKiwix.xcframework.zip) for
|
||||
all supported OSes and CPU architectures. But you might want to
|
||||
compile this piece (C++ code) by yourself. Here follow the
|
||||
instructions to build libkiwix at [on the kiwix-build
|
||||
repo](https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-build).
