libcurl for iOS

Build libcurl for iOS development. This script will generate a XCFramework with embedded static libraries for arm64 and x86_64 (simulator) architectures.

The SSL library used is SecureTransport.

Script only, please download libcurl from here: https://curl.se/download.html

Tested with:

• Xcode 15.0.1
• macOS 13.6.2
• curl 8.4.0
• nghttp2 1.58.0

Usage

curl -O https://curl.se/download/curl-8.4.0.tar.gz
tar xf curl-8.4.0.tar.gz
bash build_libcurl_dist.sh curl-8.4.0

The resulting curl.xcframework will be created in a dist directory in the current directory.

Using the created XCFramework in your project

Add the framework in the "General" tab of your target, in the "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content" section.
