iOS target

[Milerius]

Hello

I got the following error when I'm compiling to ios targets:

I need to support macabi for cross-platform, so far it's only supported on nightly:

command used:

cargo +nightly build -Z build-std --target aarch64-apple-ios-macabi --target x86_64-apple-ios-macabi --release

Currently, we do not support these targets. num_bigint seems to have some limitations because they focus on performance instead of being more agnostic.

@m-kus has integrated ibig-rs successfully, which seems to fix the compatibility issues you are facing.
Give it a try: baking-bad#1

On our side, we still need to evaluate the ibig-rs migration. Hopefully, we will merge Michael contribution soon.

[m-kus]

Yes, sorry, I will allocate some time soon to backport all the changes I made.

Regarding the ibig crate specifically, there's a follow-up refactoring changing the underlying representation of Nat and Int (UBig and IBig instead of String) and unification of bigint field types in all crates (especially tezos_rpc).
