Shows how to use Algonaut in an iOS app

Algonaut iOS example

Shows how to use Algonaut in a native iOS app.

⚠️ Not tested in production yet *

Architecture

• Rust core (shareable with other platforms, e.g. web), with domain logic and services, like accessing Algonaut.
• Native app (SwiftUI, etc.)

Instructions

Install rust-bitcode (currently used: nightly-2021-02-25)

As the binaries are not signed, you'll have to convince macOS that it's safe to run them. One solution is to do the following:

1. cd algonaut_ios/ios_app
2. cargo +ios-arm64-nightly-2021-02-25 build --target aarch64-apple-ios --release --lib
3. if it fails because macOS doesn't trust the binary, go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy and Allow to run binary then go to 2.

Run the project in Xcode. This will build Rust and start the app.

* It has been tested on real devices but not uploaded to the App Store or distributed. It should™ work, but just in case. If you use an app based on this example in production, please let me know: [e-mail] or issues
