Status of D support on iOS

Tags:

What's the current status of writing apps in D on iOS? I'm not interested in using any iOS API's, just OpenGL/SDL. Is it possible to write for iOS in D at the moment? If so, how problematic is it?

How long is an iOS version supported?

Apple is the only smartphone maker out there that keeps supporting its devices for a rather long time. Current versions of iOS now stretch support for up to five years, which is much longer than what you can expect from any premium Android phone.

As far as I can tell it should be possible. You can use gcc to compile iOS apps and gcc supports D.

I've never used D myself and I've never replaced the default compiler in Xcode, but there is an option for it in build settings.

If I were you that's where I'd start. I don't know if there are any other steps needed to get it to work, but technically it shouldn't be any harder than using C++ on iOS, which I know is fairly common.

I hope this gives you an idea of how to go forward.
