Top 23 Go iOS Projects

  1. mkcert

    A simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates with any names you'd like.

    Project mention: mkdev: trusted HTTPS for localhost, mapped by name | dev.to | 2026-05-24

    On install it generates an ECDSA P-256 root CA at ~/.mkdev/ca/ (private key written 0o400, owner-read only) and installs it into the OS-native trust store. The trust-store integration — Keychain via security on macOS, the CA-bundle dirs plus update-ca-* on Linux, the ROOT store via crypt32.dll on Windows — is adapted from mkcert (BSD-3, credited in LICENSE-MKCERT). That layer is the genuinely OS-specific part and reusing it saved a lot of pain.

    Project mention: Building and Shipping Mac and iOS Apps Without Ever Opening Xcode | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-13

    Trying to move beyond the hype here, everyone will still be needing to use Xcode for at least some debugging no way around that.

    As for the builds, your agent probably already knows how to do a lot of this from the command line, although explicit suggestions can help it build faster for different situations.

    As for XcodeGen, you may find it unnecessary overhead if you're already using Xcode file system synced groups.

    For iOS my biggest suggestion would be to enable App Store Connect skills for your agent (https://github.com/rorkai/App-Store-Connect-CLI).

    With this not only do you not need Xcode all the time, you also don't even need to be near a MacBook.

    Just make changes via Codex on your iPhone, the tell asc to build and upload to TestFlight, download and run the new version, iterate.

  20. clipboard

    📋 cross-platform clipboard package that supports accessing text and image in Go (macOS/Linux/Windows/Android/iOS) (by golang-design)

    Project mention: Whosthere: A LAN discovery tool with a modern TUI, written in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-23

    I think this is only a problem when building from source right? It is indeed because of the dependency on https://github.com/golang-design/clipboard.

    I hesitated a bit bringing in this feature, on one side I really like to have clipboard support, on the other side I don't like that it requires you to change from static to dynamic linking (and have the x11 dependency).

    Maybe I could write an `install.sh` script for isntallation that detects the OS and fetches the correct version/tarball from the Github releases page.
