This repo provides a universal script for building static ICU libraries for use in iOS and Mac OS X applications. The repo contains "icu" submodule that is taken from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu . The repo branches correspond to the suitable branches of ICU repo. E.g. "72" branch corresponds to "maint/maint-72" branch.

1. Xcode must be installed because xcodebuild is used to create xcframeworks
2. xcode-select -p must point to Xcode app developer directory (by default e.g. /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer). If it points to CommandLineTools directory you should execute: sudo xcode-select --reset or sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

• Manually

    # clone the repo
    git clone --recursive https://github.com/apotocki/icu4c-iosx
    
    # build libraries
    cd icu4c-iosx
    scripts/build.sh

    # have fun, the result artifacts  will be located in 'product' folder.

• Use cocoapods. Add the following lines into your project's Podfile:

    use_frameworks!
    pod 'icu4c-iosx'
    # or optionally more precisely
    # pod 'icu4c-iosx', :git => 'https://github.com/apotocki/icu4c-iosx', :submodules => 'true'

install new dependency:

   pod install --verbose

The ICU libraries built by this project are used in my iOS application on the App Store:

	PotoHEX HEX File Viewer & Editor

This app is designed for viewing and editing files at the byte or character level.

You can support my open-source development by trying the App.
