Cidre (French Cidr) - Rusty Apple API's

Goals

Performance
Zero cost objc interop
No legacy platforms support
ML friendly
Rusty API (ObjC and C)
API Availability checks
Buttle tested in own apps. (StreamChamp.app for recording, Yoml to be released)

Performance

Developer can finish critical path without deallocations.
Zero cost selectors calls (XCode 14.3) WWDC video 3:10
Integrated async blocks
Zero cost Apple's C API interfaces
Static cf::String and ns::String refs (ns::str!(c"hello"))

Platforms

Versioning (API Availability)

Deployment targets are controlled via features macos_x_x, ios_x_x, tvos_x_x, watchos_x_x, visionos_x_x. If selector is not defined in deployment target it becomes unsafe. So developer should check if object responses to that selector before call it.

Default features: macos_15_0, ios_18_0, tvos_18_0, maccatalyst_18_0, watchos_11_0, visionos_2_0;

About

This is personal research project. With this project I learn Apple SDK's and rust.
