There is no separate `love2d/love-ios` GitHub repo for 11.5; the release zip
**is** the vendored iOS project (Xcode project under
`love-src/platform/xcode/love.xcodeproj`, target `love-ios`).

## Apple libraries dependency
The official `love-11.5-ios-source.zip` already ships prebuilt iOS
xcframeworks under `platform/xcode/ios/libraries/` (SDL2, LuaJIT, freetype,
ogg, vorbis, theora, modplug).
If that folder is missing or incomplete (e.g. you cloned sources without
libs), download the matching prebuilts and install them:
```bash
curl -fL -o mobile/ios/cache/love-11.5-apple-libraries.zip \
https://github.com/love2d/love/releases/download/11.5/love-11.5-apple-libraries.zip
unzip -q mobile/ios/cache/love-11.5-apple-libraries.zip -d mobile/ios/cache
rm -rf mobile/ios/love-src/platform/xcode/ios/libraries
cp -R mobile/ios/cache/love-apple-dependencies/iOS/libraries \
mobile/ios/love-src/platform/xcode/ios/libraries
```
`scripts/build_ios.sh` checks for `libraries/SDL2.xcframework` and fails with
these instructions if it is absent.
Upstream also documents
[love-apple-dependencies](https://github.com/love2d/love-apple-dependencies)
as an alternate source of the same libraries.
`scripts/build_ios.sh --fetch` retrieves the matching iOS libraries and the
SDL3 framework from
[love-apple-dependencies](https://github.com/love2d/love-apple-dependencies).
Re-run it if either dependency directory is absent.
