This pull request adds full iOS build and run support for the DarkFi app, including device, simulator and Xcode integration. It introduces ios-release and ios-sim Makefile targets that build signed app bundles for devices and simulators. Add SDK detection and Apple Silicon arch via xcrun / xcodebuild and improved error messages. A new ios-xcode target generates a minimal DarkFi.xcodeproj using the external build system so the app can be archived and uploaded directly from Xcode. The changes include an ios-Info.plist , updated entitlements and embedded.mobileprovision handling to fix crash-on-launch issues and allow fullscreen UI and arbitrary network loads. iOS-specific path handling and ui_consts are added (with #cfg(target_os = "ios") and HOME/Documents logic) to avoid sandbox panics and unwritable home directory crashes while keeping Tor/arti working. Asset copying is standardized so the assets content (including forest_720x1280 / 1920x1080 and locales) is laid out in the bundle in a way that matches the code’s VID_PATH / LOCALE_PATH expectations and macroquad ’s resource lookup on iOS. Cargo dependencies are tuned for iOS by keeping required pieces like tor-dirmgr, excluding incompatible ones like tracing-android and ensuring no problematic iOS-only libraries cause link or runtime errors.
DarkFi - Anonymous, Uncensored, Sovereign
We aim to proliferate anonymous digital markets by means of strong cryptography and peer-to-peer networks. We are establishing an online zone of freedom that is resistant to the surveillance state.
Unfortunately, the law hasn’t kept pace with technology, and this disconnect has created a significant public safety problem. We call it "Going Dark".
James Comey, FBI director
So let there be dark.
About DarkFi
DarkFi is a new Layer 1 blockchain, designed with anonymity at the forefront. It offers flexible private primitives that can be wielded to create any kind of application. DarkFi aims to make anonymous engineering highly accessible to developers.
DarkFi uses advances in zero-knowledge cryptography and includes a contracting language and developer toolkits to create uncensorable code.
In the open air of a fully dark, anonymous system, cryptocurrency has the potential to birth new technological concepts centered around sovereignty. This can be a creative, regenerative space - the dawn of a Dark Renaissance.
Connect to DarkFi Alpha Testnet
DarkFi Alpha Testnet is a PoW blockchain that provides fully anonymous transactions, zero-knowledge contracts, anonymous atomic swaps, a self-governing anonymous DAO, and more.
darkfidis the DarkFi fullnode. It validates blockchain transactions and stays connected to the p2p network.drkis a CLI wallet. It provides an interface to smart contracts such as Money and DAO, manages our keys and coins, and scans the blockchain to update our balances.minerdis the DarkFi mining daemon. It connects to darkfid over RPC and triggers commands for it to mine blocks.
To connect to the alpha testnet, follow the tutorial.

Build
First you need to clone DarkFi repo and enter its root folder, if you haven't already done it:
% git clone https://codeberg.org/darkrenaissance/darkfi
% cd darkfi
% git checkout v0.5.0
This project requires the Rust compiler to be installed. Please visit Rustup for instructions.
You have to install a native toolchain, which is set up during Rust installation, and wasm32 target. To install wasm32 target, execute:
% rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown
Minimum Rust version supported is 1.87.0.
The following dependencies are also required:
| Dependency | Debian-based |
|---|---|
| git | git |
| cmake | cmake |
| make | make |
| gcc | gcc |
| g++ | g++ |
| pkg-config | pkg-config |
| alsa-lib | libasound2-dev |
| clang | libclang-dev |
| fontconfig | libfontconfig1-dev |
| lzma | liblzma-dev |
| openssl | libssl-dev |
| sqlcipher | libsqlcipher-dev |
| sqlite3 | libsqlite3-dev |
Users of Debian-based systems (e.g. Ubuntu) can simply run the following to install the required dependencies:
# apt-get update
# apt-get install -y git cmake make gcc g++ pkg-config libasound2-dev libclang-dev libfontconfig1-dev liblzma-dev libssl-dev libsqlcipher-dev libsqlite3-dev
Alternatively, users can try using the automated script under contrib
folder by executing:
% sh contrib/dependency_setup.sh
The script will try to recognize which system you are running, and install dependencies accordingly. In case it does not find your package manager, please consider adding support for it into the script and sending a patch.
Lastly, we can build the necessary binaries using the provided
Makefile, to build the project. If you want to build specific ones,
like darkfid or darkirc, skip this step, as it will build
everything, and use their specific targets instead.
% make
Development
If you want to hack on the source code, make sure to read some introductory advice in the DarkFi book.
Installation (Optional)
This will install the binaries on your system (/usr/local by
default). The configuration files for the binaries are bundled with the
binaries and contain sane defaults. You'll have to run each daemon once
in order for them to spawn a config file, which you can then review.
# make install
Examples and usage
