## Platform flag options (-DPLATFORM=_flag_)
* _OS_ - to build for iOS (armv7, armv7s, arm64) -- **DEPRECATED in favour of OS64**
* _OS64_ - to build for iOS (arm64 only)
* _OS64COMBINED_ - to build for iOS & iOS Simulator (FAT lib) (arm64, x86_64)
* _SIMULATOR_ - to build for iOS simulator 32 bit (i386) -- **DEPRECATED**
* _SIMULATOR64_ - to build for iOS simulator 64 bit (x86_64)
* _SIMULATORARM64_ - to build for iOS simulator 64 bit (arm64)
* _VISIONOS_ - to build for visionOS (arm64) -- **Apple Silicon Required**
* _VISIONOSCOMBINED_ - to build for visionOS & visionOS Simulator (FAT lib) (arm64) -- **Apple Silicon Required**
* _SIMULATOR_VISIONOS_ - to build for visionOS Simulator (arm64) -- **Apple Silicon Required**
* _TVOS_ - to build for tvOS (arm64)
* _TVOSCOMBINED_ - to build for tvOS & tvOS Simulator (arm64, x86_64)
* _SIMULATOR_TVOS_ - to build for tvOS Simulator (x86_64)
* _SIMULATORARM64_TVOS_ = to build for tvOS Simulator (arm64)
* _WATCHOS_ - to build for watchOS (armv7k, arm64_32)
* _WATCHOSCOMBINED_ - to build for watchOS & Simulator (armv7k, arm64_32, i386)
* _SIMULATOR_WATCHOS_ - to build for watchOS Simulator (i386)
* _SIMULATORARM64_WATCHOS_ = to build for watchOS Simulator (arm64)
* _MAC_ - to build for macOS (x86_64)
* _MAC_ARM64_ - to build for macOS on Apple Silicon (arm64)
* _MAC_UNIVERSAL_ - to build for macOS on x86_64 and Apple Silicon (arm64) combined
* _MAC_CATALYST_ - to build iOS for Mac (Catalyst, x86_64)
* _MAC_CATALYST_ARM64_ - to build iOS for Mac on Apple Silicon (Catalyst, arm64)
* _MAC_CATALYST_UNIVERSAL_ - to build iOS for Mac on x86_64 and Mac on arm64 combined (Catalyst, x86_64, arm64)
# Example usage
**_NOTE_: Change the `-DPLATFORM` to an applicable value if targeting another platform.**
```bash
cd example/example-lib
cmake -B build -G Xcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=OS64
cmake --build build --config Release
```
This will build the library for the given PLATFORM. In this case, iOS with the arm64 architecture.
## COMBINED Options
The options called *COMBINED (OS64COMBINED, TVOSCOMBINED and WATCHOSCOMBINED) will build complete FAT-libraries for
the given platform. These FAT-libraries include slices for both device and simulator, making the distribution and
usage of the library much more simple!
Example:
```bash
cmake . -G Xcode -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../../ios.toolchain.cmake -DPLATFORM=OS64COMBINED
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install . --config Release # Necessary to build combined library
```
**_NOTE_: The COMBINED options _ONLY_ work with the Xcode generator (-G Xcode) on CMake versions 3.14+!**

### Exposed Variables
`XCODE_VERSION` - Version number (not including Build version) of Xcode detected.
`SDK_VERSION` - Version of SDK being used.
`CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES` - Architectures being compiled for (generated from PLATFORM).
`APPLE_TARGET_TRIPLE` - Used by autoconf build systems.
### Additional Options
`-DENABLE_BITCODE=(BOOL)` - Disabled by default, specify TRUE or 1 to enable bitcode
`-DENABLE_ARC=(BOOL)` - Enabled by default, specify FALSE or 0 to disable ARC
`-DENABLE_VISIBILITY=(BOOL)` - Disabled by default, specify TRUE or 1 to enable symbol visibility support
`-DENABLE_STRICT_TRY_COMPILE=(BOOL)` - Disabled by default, specify TRUE or 1 to enable strict compiler checks (will run linker on all compiler checks whenever needed)
`-DARCHS=(STRING)` - Valid values are: armv7, armv7s, arm64, i386, x86_64, armv7k, arm64_32. By default it will build for all valid architectures based on `-DPLATFORM` (see above)
__*To combine all platforms into the same FAT-library, either build any of the "*COMBINED*" platform types OR use the
LIPO tool. More information on how to combine libraries with LIPO is readily available on the net.*__
