A set of shell scripts that cross-compile FFmpeg libraries for iOS and tvOS apps. It supports building thin or fat (multi-architecture) libraries and provides prebuilt binaries.

Use cases

• build ffmpeg for ios app
• compile ffmpeg libraries for tvos
• create fat ffmpeg binaries for arm64 and x86_64 simulator
• get prebuilt ffmpeg binaries for ios development
• cross-compile ffmpeg with shell script

When to choose

• you need FFmpeg libraries in an iOS or tvOS Xcode project
• you want to build FFmpeg for specific architectures like arm64 or fat universal binaries
• you prefer a simple script over manual cross-compilation

When to avoid

• you target Android, Linux, or desktop platforms instead of Apple mobile platforms
• you need a maintained Swift package or xcframeworks (use the companion kewlbear/FFmpeg-iOS repo)
• you require the latest FFmpeg version, as the scripts were tested with FFmpeg 4.3.1 and Xcode 12.2
