Describe the solution you'd like
It would be an awesome addition to the amazon-chime-sdk-ios to also support Mac Catalyst.
Are there any plans for doing so?

Hi @azkmilla
Thanks for opening this feature request. Our team is not actively working on adding Mac Catalyst Support currently.
We will keep this issue open and let you know if we will be adding this support.

Hi, thanks for adding M1 simulator support in 0.19.3! Now that an xcframework is being distributed, I figured I'd check in with this issue again and see whether it's feasible for y'all to add a Mac Catalyst slice!

This would be a great addition.

Hi - @azkmilla and @zhinang-amazon @pennig. I've just managed to build an iPad project and run it via Mac Catalyst. The project builds, although crashes at runtime when I call try meetingSession.audioVideo.start().

Now, while this probably isn't a priority the ROI of getting iOS apps to run on macOS via Catalyst would be massive for Chime and customers... 🤔

The log shows:

Hi I also need the same feature. Any update on this?

@notapplicableio Can you please guide me on how we can use this framework with Mac Catalyst? Enabling Mac Catalyst for the project will only allow running this the app using Designed for iPad option but it won't work when we select Mac Catalyst or Rosetta

I would also be interested in this feature.
