A multiplatform distribution of the OpenSSL C libraries packaged for Swift Package Manager, CocoaPods, and Carthage, targeting iOS, macOS (including Catalyst), tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. It ships precompiled static libraries, frameworks, and an XCFramework, plus a build script for producing newer OpenSSL versions locally.

Use cases

• Add OpenSSL to an iOS app via Swift Package Manager
• Use libcrypto and libssl in a macOS Catalyst project
• Link prebuilt OpenSSL frameworks in a tvOS or watchOS app
• Build a newer OpenSSL version locally for Apple platforms
• Replace Apple's deprecated system OpenSSL with a bundled XCFramework

When to choose

• You need OpenSSL specifically (not Apple's CryptoKit or CommonCrypto) on Apple platforms
• You want prebuilt multi-architecture binaries for iOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, or watchOS
• You manage dependencies with SwiftPM, CocoaPods, or Carthage

When to avoid

• You only need basic hashing or encryption — CryptoSwift or Apple's CryptoKit is simpler
• You target Linux or Windows rather than Apple platforms
• You cannot accept prebuilt binary dependencies and lack the toolchain to build from source
