2024-04-19	Version 3.64

 - Upgraded LLVM/Clang compiler (Apple branch) to release tag "clang-16.0.0/swift-5.10-RELEASE".
 - Upgraded the Apple linker to ld64-951.9 with patches.
 - Added support for statically-linked Xcode framework bundles (.xcframework) -- such as the ones used in the new Google Maps SDK.
 - Fixed an elusive crash bug in the Apple ld64 linker which was caused by an improperly done platform-specific workaround.
 - The Keychain UI can now create private keys and issue certificate signing requests using the EC (elliptic curves) algorithm (e.g. to obtain Apple Pay certificates).
 - CocoaPods daemon: fixed unexpected autoshutdown issue that was happening with Pod operations taking more than 5 minutes to complete.
 - CocoaPods daemon: replaced the xargs utility with a better POSIX-compliant one (fixes BoringSSL pods installation).


2024-03-01	Version 3.63

 - The builder UI now proposes to automatically load a builder settings file if it's stored in the Xcode project root.
 - The default save path of a builder settings file is now the Xcode project root. Feedback welcome on whether it's a time-saving idea or not.
 - Improved the robustness of the master build script when evaluating the compiler flags for deciding whether creating a dSYM bundle is necessary.


2024-02-29	Version 3.62

 - Fixed an issue where a just built framework's headers (private and public) wouldn't be embedded in the output framework directory in the absence of a Swift module file.
 - The build script now creates a local copy of the Win64 Unity IL2CPP build tools in the Xcode project directory (adding around 75 Mb) to make these projects portable and no longer depend on an existing Unity installation.
 - For command-line power users who use the full iOS Build Environment to build Mac apps: added an 'icnstool' utility to create and extract macOS icon pack (.icns) files.
 - For the same people: fixed quite some trailing issues in the 'makedmg' DMG file creation utility by refactoring a lot of the HFS+ code.


2024-02-19	Version 3.61.1

 - Reverted the (overly optimistic) upgrade from 2048 to 4096-bit in newly created private keys: the iOS Provisioning Portal website only accepts 2048-bit RSA CSRs (aren't we in 2024, Apple!?)
 - For command-line power users only: the migration scripts are now able to migrate macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS SDKs as well just by toggling a variable in the step 1 script.


2024-02-09	Version 3.61

 - Upgraded the Apple binary utilities to cctools-1009.2 with patches (visionOS, firmware and sepOS support - feedback welcome).
 - Upgraded the Apple linker to ld64-907 with patches (ObjC msgSend stub prototypes, visionOS, firmware and sepOS support - feedback welcome).
 - Upgraded crypto library used in code signing to LibreSSL-3.8.2 + PKCS#11 CryptoKI bindings to be on the safe side when the CA/B requirements for code signing security apply to the Apple store (see https://cabforum.org/uploads/Baseline-Requirements-for-the-Issuance-and-Management-of-Code-Signing.v2.8.pdf).
 - The latter change adds support for storing the private key used in code signing to be stored on a hardware security module (HSM) or a USB security token.
 - Fixed a problem causing apps using il2cpp created by recent Unity versions to be rejected by Apple because of erroneous inclusion of Swift arm64 libraries for the wrong platform.
 - The upload tool now creates an "upload.log" file in the same directory as the .ipa file that's being uploaded to App Store Connect to help with upload problems.
 - Fixed an issue with the CocoaPods daemon refusing to start on some versions of Windows 10 an 11 due to a change in the "chcp" tool output by Microsoft.
 - Fixed an issue in the POSIX compatibility layer causing failures in various tools when trying to map large input files (larger than 2^31 bytes).
 - Added the ability to set build numbers in more format than X.Y.Z in the UI: 'X' and 'X.Y' are also supported and will no longer append trailing '.0' and '.0.0's.
 - Better guess at when to use the compiler-supplied Swift shims header files instead of the SDK-supplied ones (if any) at SDK migration time.
 - Removed third-party curl utility, scripted downloads are now made by powershell's integrated WebClient.
 - Added the ability for ccache to store its temporary directory on a network share (though not recommended for performance reasons).
 - New private keys for code signature are now 4096-bit by default.


2023-11-08	Version 3.60.2

 - Fixed a regression in 3.60.1 affecting Xcode projects using Unity-generated il2cpp code that could no longer be built. My apologies.

 - Added a "sw_vers" utility to the CocoaPods daemon for the Pods that require one.
 - Fixed missing symbolic links in the iOS SDK during migration.
 - Blocked (in the UI) the ability to build 32-bit (armv7) variants of a project when either the installed SDK or the project itself don't support it.


2023-11-04	Version 3.60

 - This is an intermediary release: I haven't had enough time to finish all the improvements I planned for this version.
 - Upgraded LLVM/Clang compiler (Apple branch) to release tag "clang-16.0.0/swift-5.9.1-RELEASE".
 - Fixed an issue with the detection of the Unity IL2CPP compiler when looking at the default Unity install path.

 - Fixed a false positive in the dependency checker tool for framework binaries referenced by their canonical path (.framework/Versions/A/name -> .framework/name).
 - Fixed an error in the realpath() implementation of the symlink emulation code that could cause a bad file path resolution.
 - Fixed an error in the I/O code where files larger than 1 Gb could not be written in one pass (where is it documented that 0x40000000 is the largest writtable block size on Win32??)
 - Worked around a problem where the Unity il2cpp compiler driver couldn't find GameAssembly source files accessed by relative paths.
 - POSTPONED TO 3.60.1: Updated CocoaPods daemon to CocoaPods 1.14.2

 - Updated CocoaPods daemon to CocoaPods 1.12.1.
 - Proper integration of Swift API notes within the platform-specific SDK (please migrate your iOS SDK again).
 - pbxprojparse -sources now outputs Swift files first so that mixed sources modules can be built correctly (in a near future).
 - The code signer now destroys the "com.apple.security.app-sandbox" entitlement if it's not signing a macOS app (as Xcode does).
 - Increased tolerance in the LLVM linker for duplicated symbols when both source locations are within archives to mimic the Apple linker behaviour.


2023-05-26	Version 3.57

 - Added a dedicated dialog box to easily edit extra compiler and linker flags.
 - Looks like you're interested in reading the changelog. Please read this one til the end.
 - LLVM modules cache path moved from Toolchain to SDK directory (because these modules are specific to a certain SDK).
 - Compiler cache (ccache) path moved to SDK directory (same rationale).
 - LLVM modules are now enabled by default.
 - Added the missing iOS glue to the Dispatch Swift framework to be able to build Swift code for iOS that uses threads.

 - Upgraded the Apple binary utilities to cctools-986 with patches.
 - Upgraded the Apple linker to ld64-711 with patches.
 - Disabled C++ modules at compiler level to replicate exactly what Apple's own fork of Clang does (an undocumented "feature") - thanks Stefan Vasilev for the hint.
 - Patched the LLVM linker so that it allows symbols duplicates in archives to replicate the Apple linker behaviour which is able to link the Firebase 10 frameworks in spite of their duplicated symbols.


2023-03-05	Version 3.55.1

 - Fixed error when pthread_impl.h internal definitions were missed out (_PTHREAD_MUTEX_SIG_init, _PTHREAD_COND_SIG_init...) in some versions of the iOS SDK.
 - Selective stubbing of previously missing pre-5.1 Swift compatibility library symbols now that Apple provides them in libswiftCompatibility51.a.

 - When using OTA deployment, a system sound is played when the app is ready for download.


2022-12-26	Version 3.54

 - Upgraded LLVM/Clang compiler (Apple branch) to release tag "clang-14.0.0/swift-5.7.2-RELEASE".
 - Switched to the much faster LLVM linker (LLD version 16.0.0git from llvm.org) in place of Apple's ld64 (with a possibility to use Apple's linker when necessary).
 - This was necessary to provide support for Objective-C msgSend stubs as implemented by Apple in Xcode 14 and whose source code was not pushed back to LLVM.org yet.
 - Also fixes linking errors of the like "missing symbol: _objc_msgSend$...", affecting Unity projects containing precompiled libraries that were built with Xcode 14 (such as the newest ARKit samples).
 - Implemented transparent .xcframework directory layout support in LLD.
 - Fixed detection of Unity IL2CPP compiler install location to support GameAssembly host-compiled IL2CPP libraries.


2022-10-18	Version 3.53

 - Fixed a bug in the Mach-O dependency validation tool where the Swift system libraries could be unnecessarily embedded within the app, causing cryptic App Store rejections messages.


2022-09-22	Version 3.52

 - Reordered the run-time load paths in the final binary to better match what Xcode does.
 - The link-time optimization issues that were occurring with the previous compiler version should now be gone.
 - Added the ability to change a private key's passphrase from the Keychain UI (in the keys' right-click context menu).
 - The Swift system libraries are now placed in the Frameworks subdirectory to comply with Apple's guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/placing_content_in_a_bundle) and prevent App Store and TestFlight upload rejections.
 - The app now tries to load the Swift system libraries supplied by iOS before trying to load the embedded ones (solves the "This copy of libswiftCore.dylib requires an OS version prior to 12.2.0" console error). 
 - The image conversion tool (imgconvert) now guesses the input image file format from its contents instead of inferring it from its extension.


2022-09-21	Version 3.51.2

2022-06-17	Version 3.50.1

 - Hotfix for Clang 13 causing permission problems during output file renaming in some Windows 10 setups.


2022-06-16	Version 3.50

 - Fixed a regression in the code signer that was probably introduced in v3.49 and prevented some apps from being signed correctly.
 - Upgraded LLVM/Clang compiler (Apple branch) to release tag "clang-13.0.0/swift-5.6.1-RELEASE".

 - Improved .xcframework platform/architecture detection in builder UI.
 - Added an option to disable ccache (the compiler cache), to solve possible erroneous cache hash collision problems.
 - Improved the "validatedeps" utility so that dependency run paths inherit from the main executable run paths.
 - Improved third-party binary libraries and frameworks embedding logic in the master build script: in most cases a pre-packaging script is no longer necessary.


2022-06-05	Version 3.49

 - CocoaPods daemon: added macOS-like base64 userland utility (used by the "BoringSSL" pod).
 - Improved support in the code signer for files containing foreign UTF-8 characters in app bundles.
 - Extended the dependency validation mechanism using validatedep to the Unity framework.


2022-05-28	Version 3.48

 - Improved Mach-O binary dependency checking and validation thanks to a new command-line tool (validatedep).
 - Fix: the upload tool no longer attemps to re-sign app packages with the default signing identity if the "Re-sign" checkbox is not checked.
 - Re-fixed a regression that was already fixed in 3.35.4 but broke during build logic reorganization where Unity calls sched_yield() without including <pthread/sched.h> first (as seen in UnityWebRequest.mm)... looks like the Unity team hasn't noticed the issue yet.
 - Added 3 shortcuts in the Windows SendTo menu for advanced users to easily dissecate Apple Mach-O binary files.


2022-04-25	Version 3.47

 - Project localization files (xxx.lproj) should now be handled correctly. Please notify me if it was not the case.
 - Updated optional Cocoapods daemon to version 11.3 and fixed a problem where Podfiles containing lines longer than 125 characters would cause issues in Windows 7.
 - Improved the Xcode project parser (pbxprojparse) so that file-specific compiler flags are supported (helps building Google's Protobuf library).


2022-03-29	Version 3.46

 - Fixed an issue where apps couldn't be deployed over the air if their .ipa filename contained space characters.
 - Fixed a UTF-8 conversion issue in the code signer where filenames containing special characters would make the code signature fail.
 - Fixed a crash bug in ssh.exe (affecting the CocoaPods daemon).

 - Preliminary support for handling the upcoming il2cpp Xcode project format change in Unity projects.


2022-01-19	Version 3.44

 - Fixed the Migration Assistant step 1 which was mistakenly not including the Swift-5.0 static libraries, preventing third-party SDKs such as the Facebook one to work.
 - Fixed a permissions issue with llvm-ar and other LLVM tools when dealing with delete-on-close temporary files on Windows 7.
 - Fixed the "Create dSYM" checkbox which was no longer working in the builder UI.

 - Improved the logic of the signer ID and team ID extraction out of the signing certificate (thanks to a suggestion from Liviu Ardean).


2021-11-14	Version 3.41.1

 - Fixed a couple JSON parsing issues in the new upload tool that could make an upload fail.


2021-11-09	Version 3.41

 - Replaced iTMSTransporter and its horrible Java stack by a new native upload tool that should solve the recent App Store upload problems - please report any issues in the support forum.
 - Automatic detection of App IDs during uploads (inspiration: Simon Nilsson).
 - If I did it right, normally the "provider ID" info is also no longer needed for App Store uploads - let me know if that was not the case.
 - Upgraded toolchain crypto library to LibreSSL 3.4.1.
 - Recompiled LLVM/Clang without debug asserts.


2021-11-02	Version 3.40

 - Upgraded LLVM/Clang compiler and utilities (Apple branch) to release tag "clang-12.0.0/swift-5.5.1-RELEASE".

 - Fixed a bug in the build script where pre-supplied binaries and libraries built for the iOS simulator were mistakenly exposed as available to the linker.
 - Fixed a bug in the code signer affecting iOS 15 where signed apps would no longer be accepted for deployment with user-specified explicit entitlements.
 - Fixed a crash bug in the plist library when user-supplied extra entitlements property lists used by the code signer were empty plists.
 - Removed from the pipeline the legacy source pre-parsing stage that induced false positives with conditionally included frameworks.
 - Added the ipa-resigner UI to the IPA resigning script (accessible at the root of the builder directory, or from the start menu).
 - Upgraded Cocoapods to version 1.11.2.


2021-10-10	Version 3.39

 - Updated the examples so as to make sure they still build against the latest iOS SDK.
 - Added a forward declaration in rdc.m for libcxxabi's __cxa_demangle() for C projects that use the remote debug logging facility.
 - Improved the automatic system framework supply code for non-Xcode projects.
 - "Default" is chosen as configuration name when none is supplied on the command line for non-Xcode projects.


2021-09-24	Version 3.38

 - iOS 15 support (updated the code signer to generate a DER-encoded version of the app's entitlements that became mandatory with this iOS release).


2021-09-09	Version 3.37

 - The builder now generates a build.log file in the project directory.
 - The builder UI and the master build script will now detect when someone attempts to build an Xcode project for the iOS *simulator* and politely explain the user that he shouldn't try putting diesel in a gasoline tank.


2021-08-20	Version 3.36.1

 - Fixed a codepage problem when using the CocoaPods daemon that would lead to Podfile corruption (Windows insists in writing Unicode files with a BOM, which most tools don't expect).
 - Multiple other reliability fixes in the CocoaPods daemon script.


2021-08-18	Version 3.36

 - Upgraded linker to ld64-609 from Apple + patches.
 - Upgraded binary utilities to cctools-973.0.1 from Apple + patches.
 - Fixed an issue with Clang 12 where the user-supplied headers search path resolution implementation in my version of Clang was dissymetrical to the official implementation.
 - Fixed an issue where the linker would mistakenly infer the SDK version number from the builder's install path if the builder was installed in a nonstandard location whose path contained a dotted number.
 - Added a "try again" feature to the linker when it wants to open object files that are temporarily locked out by virus scanners (N.B.: Malwarebytes' is known to cause such problems. Consider *disabling* it when building.)
 - Added a notice in the installer that Xcode projects should be located as close as possible to the drive root so as to avoid hitting the 260 characters path limit in Windows common tools.


2021-06-08	Version 3.35.4

 - "Fixed" a crash bug in the Clang compiler where vector resizing would invalidate the container (as seen in several Unity projects).
 - Fixed (by hotpatching) a compilation issue due to a bug in Unity-generated code where they call sched_yield() without including <pthread/sched.h> first (as seen in UnityWebRequest.mm).
 - The installer now invites to set an exclusion in Windows Defender and proposes to disable the Program Compatibility Assistant so as to speed up the toolchain.
 - A support forum has been created (at last): https://www.pmbaty.com/iosbuildenv/help/ - please direct your support request there from now on.


2021-05-21	Version 3.35.3

 - On-the-fly patching of Podfiles to force CocoaPods to use their new Content Delivery Network instead of cloning the whole GitHub master repository. This crucial change (that Unity should adopt urgently) saves GIGABYTES of space, and HOURS of download time!
 - Fixed a timeout issue in the CocoaPods daemon where large projects taking too long to set up their pods would cause a connection failure.
 - Improved automatic correction of flags incorrectly passed to the linker by Xcode projects using the compiler driver's "-Wl,-flag,flagoption" syntax.
 - Automatic fixing of the "aps-environment" extra entitlement value (forced to 'production' when signing with a distribution certificate and 'development' in all the other cases).
 - Preliminary support for building apps that contain app extensions (.appex). Please report if you find bugs or issues with app extensions.


2021-05-13	Version 3.35.2

 - Fixed a nasty bug in the plist utility that broke key/value addition/deletions from the command line and could prevent apps from being accepted on the App Store.


2021-05-08	Version 3.35.1

 - Fixed a bug in the linker where the minimum iOS version and SDK version were mixed up in the generated mach-o load commands, resulting in App Store rejection messages because of an outdated SDK.
 - Added a command-line option to the PList conversion tool to alphabetically sort the property lists in XML format according to their key names.


2021-05-04	Version 3.35

 - Upgraded compiler toolchain to LLVM 12.0.0 Apple branch + patches (clang 12.0.0, swift 5.5-dev).
 - Anciliary .meta files are automatically removed from app bundles before code signature in re-signing and upload scripts to preserve signature validity.


2021-04-29	Version 3.34

 - WARNING: big changes in this update. KEEP YOUR PREVIOUS INSTALLER AND SDK FOR SAFETY and do contact me at <pm@pmbaty.com> if you find a regression.
 - New logic in the master build script that improves CPU cache usage (builds all targets for each source file rather than all source files for each target) when targeting multiple archs.
 - Changed build directory layout to be more compatible with Xcode's and relocated output directories in a subdirectory of the build directory.
 - More correct handling of Xcode project target dependencies in the master build script (added -dependencies command to pbxprojparse).
 - Fixed an issue with library ordinals in the linker input that prevented some libraries expecting to be located higher in memory than the source files calling them (e.g. Vuplex) from working correctly.
 - Greatly improved automatic resolution of missing symbols during link phase (thanks to new -hint_missing linker flag and pre-mapping of libraries and frameworks available to the project).
 - The remote debug console now uses LLVM's C++ ABI demangler instead of mine (it was about time).
 - Changed iTunes download URL for the remote debug console so as to download a *desktop* version and not the Windows Store one which is incompatible with USB hooking.
 - Fixed an issue where some dynamically-loaded binaries were not correctly embedded in the final app.
 - Added the ability to embed multiple binaries from the builder UI.
 - Robust detection of when to recompile or relink files by comparing input file modification times and passed flags.
 - Fixed the migration assistant so as to make the iOS SDK 14.5 usable (the C++11 headers are now expected to be in SDK/usr/include/c++/v1 instead of SDK/lib/c++/v1).
 - The linker is now able to read the SDK version from the SDK PLists, obsoleting the -sdk_version flag and enabling clang to drive it directly when necessary.


2021-04-11	Version 3.33.4

 - Implemented support for the .xcframework directory layout directly in the ld64 linker. This change should simplify the extra linker flags quite a bit.
 - Better management of manually-added extra frameworks in the builder UI (reduced frameworks redundancy).


2021-04-09	Version 3.33.3

 - Fixed topological sorting of Xcode build targets (enables building CocoaPods-based AdMob projects with the latest available AdMob plugin).
 - Fixed a problem with missing UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities when submitting single-arch builds on App Store Connect.
 - Slightly better logic in figuring out a Xcode project's implicit header paths, to mimic Xcode's header maps more closely.
 - Added a user-submitted tip in the documentation to workaround a well-known issue involving App Store uploads rate limitation (i.e. temporarily use a hotspot connection).


2021-04-03	Version 3.33.2

 - Reverted linker change from 3.33.1 which was causing undesireable side effects in projects where complete exposition was unnecessary (duplicate classes, etc).
 - Updated troubleshooting instructions about Firebase and Google Mobile Ads / AdMob.


2021-03-29	Version 3.33.1

 - When static libraries are detected to contain Objective-C code, the -force_load flag is automatically passed to the linker (equivalent and more focused than -ObjC).


2021-03-24	Version 3.33

 - Better (read: less incorrect) logic for linking static libraries, so that duplicates can be better stripped by the linker and explicit ObjC categories loading flags can be respected.
 - Added a note in the documentation to explain when to use the -ObjC linker flag and when not to in the troubleshooting section.


2021-03-14	Version 3.32.1

 - Fixed a few problems in Microsoft's OpenSSH port (the 'ssh' and 'scp' utilities used by the CocoaPods daemon).


2021-03-12	Version 3.32

 - Added useful information in the documentation on how to integrate the Facebook SDK without Swift.
 - Better handling of long pathnames in the host side of the CocoaPods daemon (additionally no longer using the Cygwin subsystem).
 - Better handling of long pathnames by the Clang compiler. What a crippling limitation. Reminds me of "who'd need more than 640 kb of RAM anyway?"
 - Nested binary frameworks and libraries are now laid out at the same level to comply with App Store requirements. 


2021-03-01	Version 3.31.6

 - User-supplied extra frameworks are now passed to the linker using the "-Fsearch/path -framework FrameworkName" semantic instead of static linking to allow multiple definitions of the same framework harmlessly.
 - Better logic when symlinking binary frameworks supplied as Pods before linking the main project, so as to build more projects out of the box (i.e. without extra flags).
 - Ancilliary files ending in .meta (created by Unity) are stripped from the app package before codesigning to prevent the creation of invalid signatures.
 - Fixed another bug in the code signer where embedded bundles (e.g. frameworks) recursively signed would expose an incorrect CodeResources to the top level code signing instance.
 - The build script now enforces single-threaded compilation when run in verbose mode so as to make diagnostics more readable.


2021-02-24	Version 3.31.5

 - Fixed a bug in the TBD v4 replacement code in the linker related to linking macOS binaries in Catalyst mode.
 - Added a STRIP_SYSLIBROOT environment variable to inform strip about the location of the platform SDK to use when delegating its task to the linker (so as to avoid a lot of warnings).
 - The build script now displays the builder version when run in verbose mode.


2021-02-23	Version 3.31.4

 - Upgraded compiler toolchain to LLVM 11.1.0 Apple branch + patches (clang 11.1.0, swift 5.4-dev) with all-new symlink emulation code.
 - Pods are now built in the right order (helps in case of interdependent pods).
 - Changed default local symbol visibility from "hidden" to "default" for everything except app binaries (libraries, frameworks, bundles). This increases binary size, but allow Pods depending on other Pods to build.
 - Fixed a bug in the code signer where deep signatures would fail because of incorrect sorting (longest first is not enough, e.g. a/b/c/d/e is shorter than a/b/c_with_long_pathname but nonetheless deeper).
 - The build script now fixes loader paths in libraries or frameworks that depend on other libraries or frameworks.
 - Now able to build AdMob 8.x Unity projects through that appalling construction of the human brain called CocoaPods. Next.


2021-02-16	Version 3.31.3

 - Fixed compiler crashes which were caused by filesystem support code changes in the Apple LLVM codebase that were incompatible with the symlink emulation code.
 - The compiler version is now LLVM 10.0.0 Apple branch + patches (clang 10.0.0, swift 5.3.3-RELEASE). Clang 12 will come back soon.
