iOS 16.0 Toolchains[edit]
There are currently two main "toolchains" available, distributed on the Elucubratus and Procursus toolchains respectively.
Eluctrabus[edit]
Includes llvm, lldb, clang, ldid, tapi, libtapi, and cctools-port
Procursus[edit]
_needs filling out_
iOS 9.3 Toolchain[edit]
The "iOS Toolchain" package on the BigBoss repo provides a useful toolchain capable of developing packages on jailbroken devices using the iOS SDK (tested up to the 9.3 SDK)
It contains:
LLVM, Clang, and CompilerRT 3.7
LD64 253.3
Darwin CC Tools 877.5
When used with theos, these can produce binaries for arm, armv6, armv7, and armv7f using SDKS up to and including the iOS 6.1 SDK.
Comparison[edit]
This is a comparison between compilers and toolchains for building iOS apps on device.
