Introduction to SDL with Xcode

The easiest way to use SDL is to include it as a subproject in your project.

We'll start by creating a simple project to build and run hello.c

Create a new project in Xcode, using the App template and selecting Objective C as the language
Remove the .h and .m files that were automatically added to the project
Remove the main storyboard that was automatically added to the project
On iOS projects, select the project, select the main target, select the Info tab, look for "Custom iOS Target Properties", and remove "Main storyboard base file name" and "Application Scene Manifest"
Right click the project and select "Add Files to [project]", navigate to the SDL docs directory and add the file hello.c
Right click the project and select "Add Files to [project]", navigate to the SDL Xcode/SDL directory and add SDL.xcodeproj
Select the project, select the main target, select the General tab, look for "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content", and add SDL3.framework
Build and run!
