OXCE v7.12 for iOS (iPhone/iPad)
« on: March 24, 2019, 04:17:00 pm »
OXCE is now available also for iOS.

You need to build it yourself though, no AppStore.
Source code and build instructions: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/openxcom-ios/tree/oxce-plus

...or try 3rd party AppStore / github IPA build: https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,8327.0.html

Question:  I got everything built and transferred to my device. YAY!
does anyone get a black screen when quit button is pressed?

That is the only quirk

Then I manually kill app

I have never actually tried the app on a real device :/
Only on a simulator... where it works fine.

Thanks for the feedback though, it's nice to know it actually works.
One day I'll borrow an iOS device from someone and try it myself...

Out of curiosity, can you tell me what is the video resolution of your device; and what resolution do you see in OpenXcom when you go into Options>Video? For some reason, on the simulator, the resolution in game was only half of the real device resolution.

Sure it was a really neat exercise not too good with app dev stuff. 
Device Ipad Pro Second Gen 12.9 inch - specs 2732 x 2048 pixels, 4:3 ratio

In options Under video 1366x1024

Can anybody please help me with doing the thing or do it for me? I'm really eager to try, yet I'm sort of noob when it comes to coding and my English might be not good enough to understand this stuff by myself.

I have an iPad 4 iOS 8 with JB.

I have tried it only on emulators, since I don't own iPhone or iPad... but it could go like this:
1. Install XCode on your Mac
2. Download the OXCE source code: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/openxcom-ios/tree/oxce-plus
3. Compile the source using the instructions: https://github.com/MeridianOXC/openxcom-ios/blob/oxce-plus/README.md
4. Using the same instructions, deploy it on your iPad

You don't need to code anything yourself, but you need to be at least a bit familiar with coding under Mac to be able to follow those instructions.

Oh right, I forgot a Mac is needed... No future I guess

OpenXcom works pretty well in the emulator and on my device
OpenXcomExtended -  build filed errors. Help, what am I doing wrong?

What version of XCode do you have?

OpenXcomExtended requires C++17 support, maybe you just need to update...

It works for me, see attached screenshots.
(the game exited during startup because of missing UFO files... I'm too noob to know how to copy them... but it clearly started)

You are right, my Xcode v 9.2 and does not support C ++17. ((((
