## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: cryptography, security, developer-tools
- domain: security, mobile-development, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: openssl, swiftpm, cocoapods, carthage, xcframework, prebuilt-binaries, tvos, watchos, visionos, ios, macos, swift
