qt_add_ios_ffmpeg_libraries

Auxiliary function which embeds FFmpeg binaries in iOS app bundle.

This command was introduced in Qt 6.8.

Synopsis

qt_add_ios_ffmpeg_libraries(target)

If versionless commands are disabled, use qt6_add_ios_ffmpeg_libraries() instead. It supports the same set of arguments as this command.

Description

FFmpeg binaries from the online installer must be embedded into the application's bundle. To embed FFmpeg binaries, you can add the qt_add_ios_ffmpeg_libraries command to the app's CMakeLists.txt file.

This command will set several properties for the application target:

• XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS, adds the informatioin for XCode (which FFmpeg binaries to embed).
• XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY is set to ON, so that the embedded FFmpeg binaries will be code-signed.
• XCODE_ATTRIBUTE_LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS - to add the location of embedded FFmpeg libraries within the bundle.

If code-signing is not required, you can use the QT_NO_FFMPEG_XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY variable before the command qt_add_ios_ffmpeg_libraries:

set(QT_NO_FFMPEG_XCODE_EMBED_FRAMEWORKS_CODE_SIGN_ON_COPY ON)
