Description

Due to the sunset of bintray, the SDK cannot easily access the avian build anymore, that I manually did painfully on a Mac OS X machine and stored it on bintray.

Now while I could try to get this running on Github Actions, it's still discontinued and based on java 7.
Instead Graal provides an industry grade support for general AOT compilation and should be supported for a much longer time.

The scope of this issue is to determine the steps required to get a working iOS Build and potentially yield further issues to implement engine-side improvements for that.

I guess @Ali-RS already had Graal Native image running?

Edit: Potentially even running some example in Github Actions to verify all the issues from https://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/t/native-compilation-graalvm-native-image/43820/ don't arise

Research direction

Determine whether a working Graal-based iOS build can be produced and verified in GitHub Actions; document the required steps and any engine-side follow-up issues.
