The official VLC media player application for iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS, maintained by VideoLAN. It is written in Objective-C and Swift and built on top of VLCKit, a libvlc wrapper.
Use cases
- play videos on iphone or ipad
- stream media to apple tv
- play local video files on ios
- watch movies with subtitles on ipad
- play audio files on ios
- open-source media player for apple devices
When to choose
- you want to contribute to or build the official VLC app for iOS/iPadOS/tvOS
- you need a full-featured, free media player on Apple mobile devices
- you want to embed or study a mature libvlc-based iOS player
When to avoid
- you need a media player for Android or desktop platforms
- you want a lightweight embeddable playback library rather than a full app (use VLCKit directly)
- you require a permissively licensed codebase to copy into proprietary apps (license is non-standard)
