If you want to use the binaries on our site, this is what you have to do:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get a Apple Developer Certificate<\/strong><br \/>\nApple asks about $100 per year for individuals. You will then have to re-sign the .ipa file that you download from our site. You can read more on how to do this <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.libretro.com\/guides\/install-ios\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: You can use the program <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/xndrs\/XReSign\">https:\/\/github.com\/xndrs\/XReSign<\/a> on your Mac to re-sign as well, just to list another option.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;d like to be able to provide a more easy and convenient way to install RetroArch on iOS\/tvOS in a legal way in a manner we approve of (no ads, no monetization, etc.).<\/p>\n<h1>iOS\/tvOS notes<\/h1>\n<p><strong>No Core Installer<\/strong> &#8211; The Core Downloader is useless for these versions. It will likely be hidden\/removed altogether in the future since it currently serves no purpose as cores also need to be individually codesigned.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First-time asset extraction<\/strong> &#8211; On first startup, it will extract the assets from assets.zip. You will notice it starting up with low-res assets and telling you to wait until this process has finished. Fortunately, this will only happen once and will not happen again afterwards.<\/p>\n<h1>How many cores available at launch?<\/h1>\n<p>There should be over 84+ cores available for iOS and tvOS. Just like the ARM Mac version, we are far from done here, and you&#8217;ll see this core library rapidly expand as we add more and more cores.<\/p>\n<h1>More ARM Mac cores added<\/h1>\n<p>In the meantime, we have added even more cores for the ARM Macs. We are now up to 93 cores, up from the 75 we started with a few days ago!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting today, we will start offering nightly versions of RetroArch for iOS and tvOS on our buildbot!
