Add iOS support in your CI
AFAIK, Tor.framework is the most advanced library to package Tor for iOS.
You can find it here: https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework
It has a Travis-CI configuration, which I just updated to work on the latest macOS/Xcode image:
https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/blob/master/.travis.yml
Currently, we have issues in getting past Tor 0.4.0.6 on iOS. When I try to use a newer core, I get this error message:
Unknown type name 'dispatch_queue_t'
in CFStream of Apple's CoreFoundation framework.
But "dispatch_queue_t" is actually a valid symbol from Apple's Foundation libraries.
So somehow, it gets cancelled out through something which changed in Tor recently.
We're really stuck here, so it would be a huge help, if you could add Tor.framework to your Continuous Integration so you'd be able to support us here and detect problems earlier in the future.
For your purposes, there's no need to have Macs and Xcode. The most important files to control the build are these shell scripts:
https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/blob/master/Tor/tor.sh https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/blob/master/Tor/libevent.sh https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/blob/master/Tor/openssl.sh https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/blob/master/Tor/xz.sh
Tor and the other libraries come in via Git submodules: https://github.com/iCepa/Tor.framework/blob/master/.gitmodules
So the dev process on your side would be:
Update submodules to your latest state, let it build in Travis. If broken, fix above build scripts. Re-run through Travis.
Could that work for you?
