A port of the Memoji editor from Xcode 11's iOS Simulator to macOS Catalyst.

![screenshot](screenshot.png)

## What works

- Launching the Memoji editor

## What's broken

- I can't build this into a working app yet; it only runs inside Xcode for now

- Massive lag when clicking on anything, as it tries to save the Memoji to a non-existant XPC service

- For some reason, the Memoji are extremely polygonal - it seems tesselation is broken or turned off?

## What will probably never work

- Face tracking isn't included in the simulator code, so that won't work. (Unless someone wants to reverse engineer and reimplement it?)

## How to try this

- Install Xcode 11.0 on macOS Catalina 10.15

- Install LLVM from [LLVM's releases page](https://releases.llvm.org/download.html#8.0.0)

- Install Python 3

- `cd CopyAvatarFrameworks`

- Create a `llvm_path.conf` file containing the path to your LLVM installation

- `./copy_avatar_frameworks.sh`

- open the project in Xcode

- Click `LaurelmojiCatalyst` -> "Edit Scheme" -> "Arguments" -> "Environment Variables"

- Add:

  - `DYLD_FORCE_FLAT_NAMESPACE` = `1`

  - `SIMULATOR_SHARED_RESOURCES_DIRECTORY` = `/tmp`

- Build and run in Xcode.
