Description
Expected behaviour
Would it be possible to add support to target iOS with:
- iphoneos arm64
- iphonesimulator arm64
- iphonesimulator x86_64
OpenCV for iOS is distributed as a framework and it's working well. So it should be possible to modify the Python part to build it.
Actual behaviour
All attempts at building failed.
Issue submission checklist
- This is not a generic OpenCV usage question (looking for help for coding, other usage questions, homework etc.)
- I have read the README of this repository and understand that this repository provides only an automated build toolchain for OpenCV Python packages (there is no actual OpenCV code here)
- The issue is related to the build scripts in this repository, to the pre-built binaries or is a feature request (such as "please enable this additional dependency")
- I'm using the latest version of
opencv-python
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's Python build scripts and automated CI toolchain to determine how platform targets and framework builds are configured. Compare the current build flow with the requested iphoneos arm64, iphonesimulator arm64, and iphonesimulator x86_64 targets; done means successfully producing supported iOS wheels for all three.
