Swiss Ephemeris for OS X and iOS

This repo contains a configured Xcode workspace with a Xcode project for use in Mac apps and a Xcode project for use in iOS apps.

Features

• Preconfigured Xcode project with Swiss Ephemeris 2.03 source code ready to be build.
• Build easily libraries for OS X and iOS. Note: The source code is not checked or audited for correct operation and results on 64-bit architectures.
  • OS X: SwissEphemeris.framework supports OS X 10.6 or later on x86_64
  • iOS: libSwissEphemeris.a supports iOS 6.0 or later on the simulator and armv7 and arm64 on the device
  • iOS: SwissEphemeris.framework supports iOS 8.0 or later on the simulator and armv7 and arm64 on the device
• A pure as possible distribution and use of the Swiss Ephemeris source code from Astrodienst AG. The only changes that increase better support on OS X or iOS will be incorporated.
• Automatic configuration: There is no need to manually call swe_set_ephe_path(). This function will be called automatically. On OS X the framework resources directory will be used and on iOS the main bundle resources directory. If you don't like this behavior, please open an issue.
• ~/Application Support/SwissEphemeris (OS X): Users can use this folder to add additional data files. The framework will prioritize these files over the data files which are distrubuted as part of the framework.
