Building the macchina.io REMOTE SDK for iOS

The macchina.io REMOTE SDK can be built for iOS with cmake. The main use case is including the WebTunnelClient functionality in an iOS application - connecting to a TCP port on a remote device through the macchina.io REMOTE server tunneling feature.

Prerequisites

  • Xcode
  • cmake 3.19.5 or newer (installed via Homebrew)
  • OpenSSL 1.1.1 or 3.0.x compiled for iOS

CMake can be installed via Homebrew:

$ brew install cmake

For cross-compiling OpenSSL for iOS, the scripts from the x2on/penSSL-for-iPhone project can be used.

Building

Building OpenSSL for iOS

$ git clone git@github.com:x2on/OpenSSL-for-iPhone.git
$ cd OpenSSL-for-iPhone
$ ./build-libssl.sh --deprecated       
$ cd ..

Building the macchina.io REMOTE SDK for iOS

$ git clone git@github.com:my-devices/sdk.git
$ cd sdk

Note: iOS device and simulator use different SDKs. The SDK to use must be specified during the build step. Therefore, separate builds (in different directories) for device and simulator are necessary.

Building for iOS Device

$ cmake . -Bcmake-build-iphoneos -GXcode \
    -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS \
    "-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64" \
    -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=12.0 \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`pwd`/cmake-install-iphoneos \
    -DCMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELAGENT=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELCLIENT=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELSSH=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELSCP=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELSFTP=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELVNC=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELRDP=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELCLIENTLIB=YES \
    -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`pwd`/../OpenSSL-for-iPhone/include \
    -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=`pwd`/../OpenSSL-for-iPhone/lib/libcrypto-iOS.a \
    -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=`pwd`/../OpenSSL-for-iPhone/lib/libssl-iOS.a
$ cmake --build cmake-build-iphoneos --config Release -- -sdk iphoneos16.2 && cmake --install cmake-build-iphoneos --config Release

Building for iOS Simulator

$ cmake . -Bcmake-build-iphonesimulator -GXcode \
    -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=iOS \
    "-DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=arm64;x86_64" \
    -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=12.0 \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`pwd`/cmake-install-iphonesimulator \
    -DCMAKE_XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_ONLY_ACTIVE_ARCH=NO \
    -DCMAKE_IOS_INSTALL_COMBINED=YES \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELAGENT=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELCLIENT=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELSSH=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELSCP=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELSFTP=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELVNC=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELRDP=NO \
    -DENABLE_WEBTUNNELCLIENTLIB=YES \
    -DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=`pwd`/../OpenSSL-for-iPhone/include \
    -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=`pwd`/../OpenSSL-for-iPhone/lib/libcrypto-iOS-Sim.a \
    -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=`pwd`/../OpenSSL-for-iPhone/lib/libssl-iOS-Sim.a
$ cmake --build cmake-build-iphonesimulator --config Release -- -sdk iphonesimulator16.2 && cmake --install cmake-build-iphonesimulator --config Release

Notes

  • The paths to the OpenSSL include directory and the libssl and libcrypto libraries are directly passed to CMake (-DOPENSSL_INCLUDE_DIR=..., -DOPENSSL_CRYPTO_LIBRARY=..., -DOPENSSL_SSL_LIBRARY=...), using the paths from the OpenSSL-for-iPhone script. The library names are different for device and simulator.
  • All command-line tools are disabled in the build as they cannot run on iOS anyway (and also CMake cannot build them, due to some missing iOS-specific definitions in their CMakeLists)
  • Header files for the SDK are installed in ./cmake-install-iphoneos/include, static libraries are in ./cmake-install-iphoneos/lib (for the device build). You can of course changes these locations by modifying the respective CMake arguments (CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX).
  • The resulting static libraries must be linked to your iOS application in your app's Xcode project file. The libraries are libWebTunnelClient.a, libPocoWebTunnel.a, libPocoNetSSL.a, libPocoCrypto.a, libPocoNet.a, libPocoUtil.a, and libPocoFoundation.a. Furthermore, the OpenSSL libraries (libcrypto-iOS.a and libssl-iOS.a for device, libcrypto-iOS-Sim.a and libssl-iOS-Sim.a for simulator) must also be linked to the iOS application.
  • The resulting libraries for the simulator will be "fat", including objects for both arm64 and x64_64 architectures. For the device, only arm64 libraries are built.
  • See the CMake documentation on cross-compiling for iOS for more information.
