Using Rust libraries in iOS/macOS apps.

Ferrum - Using Rust libraries in Xcode

This is a sample project that shows how to use Rust libraries in Xcode. You can use it as a template for your own projects, just fork and modify it to your liking.

I wrote a blog about it if you would like to dive into the technincal stuff: Embed a Rust library in Xcode

Requirements

• Xcode 15.1
• Rust 1.75 or later, along with the correct toolchain targets
• cargo-xcode 1.9.0

Setup

Grab the latest version of Xcode from the App Store or install it via the developer portal.

Install Rust (via Rustup) and cargo-xcode:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Afterwards ensure you have the correct targets installed:

rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin x86_64-apple-darwin aarch64-apple-ios aarch64-apple-ios-sim x86_64-apple-ios

Install cargo-xcode:

cargo install cargo-xcode

Afterwards, clone this repository and open the project in Xcode. Make sure to select the correct signing team.
