MacOS support

[eugenyHil]

Hi! We are trying to create multiplatform application for iOS/macOS which contains video meetings. We decided to use amazonChimeSDK, because your website says that "It can be used in Swift or Objective-C projects for macOS or for iOS 10.0 or newer".

While installing amazonChimeSDK using cocoaPods we ran into issue, picture below

We tried installing both bitcode and no-bitcode versions with the same result. Also it's not working using SPM.

Can you please provide us information how to install it on macOS?

Hope for your response:)

Thank you @eugenyHil for reporting this.
This repository will only work for iOS. The statement in the blog post is a little confused, it states that the media client library could potentially be added a wrapper to support macOS, though it is not open sourced.

i will leave this open and mark as a feature request.

With the convergence of Apple frameworks and tooling, esp. Swift UI, across iOS, tvOS, and macOS this would be a powerful feature for Chime. We have an iPad app that would run on macOS if Chime was also supported.

@ziyiz-amzn Hi any update on this

@ziyiz-amzn Hi, any update for this feature. I would love to have Mac os support too.

Checking in as well, I assume chime sdk does not have a Mac client library still? Is there a timeline or should we be looking for alternatives to chime if our application is multi-platform?

It was suggested to me that we look at the C++ lib and manage WebRTC ourselves.

A reasonable short term solution could be Catalyst, but a cross-platform/macOS support would be ideal.

@dbish @TranToan2910 @applebyte1992 @eugenyHil I'm told the roadmap for this feature is many months away. The only way to reduce this is to garner support from more customers, like ourselves. I would also pester, as I do every now and then, one's AWS account manager.

[dbish]

That’s too bad. Will let our account manager know but we’ll start looking at replacement options that work across Windows and Mac then too. Thanks.

Hopefully my comment isn't persuading you to leave, @dbish. It was meant to suggest some hope. Perhaps the first step is to petition for the features you need.

Adding my +1, it would be a huge win to help build cross platform apps with this
