I just updated the OpenCV on iOS Xcode project to use the latest svn trunk of openCV. Speaking of which, the git mirror that I created for OpenCV's svn is also on github. It is automatically updated every day on a cron job on a server at dreamhost. While it's automatically updated each day, the git submodule for the OpenCV on iOS is not. I'll update that manually on an occasional basis.

I'm looking for someone (cough. I'm lazy.) who will take on the project of writing a step-by-step for integrating OpenCV static libs into a new iOS project. The examples directory has a SURF example that will automatically build all of OpenCV using cross-project dependency in Xcode that can be used as a basis for this. Any takers? Go ahead and fork me (heh) and issue a pull request.

Thanks to Nathan de Vries (@atnan) for improving the submodule checkout foo in the readme file.

Note: If you've cloned a previous version, use git submodule update after pulling the latest rev to pull the correct version of OpenCV. If you get build errors, you probably need to do this.

Check this out. Instead of several steps, some ugly CMake voodoo, and some work in the shell, now all you have to do is pull down a git repo to make OpenCV work on iOS. A couple of people have tried it out and found it functional. Let me know at "my first name at this domain dot calm" whether it works for you. If anyone would like to use the example project to make instructions on how to make it work in a new project or even generate some project templates, get in touch or give it a go and submit a pull request on github.
