Setup iPlug2 Dependencies

Use this skill when the user needs to download SDKs or prebuilt libraries for iPlug2.

Workflow

1. Ask what the user needs:

   • Plugin format SDKs (VST3, CLAP, WAM) - required for most plugin formats
   • Skia prebuilt libs - required if using Skia IGraphics backend
   • iOS libs - only if targeting iOS

2. Download plugin SDKs (if requested):

   cd ./Dependencies/IPlug/
   ./download-iplug-sdks.sh
   

3. Download Skia libs (if requested):

   cd ./Dependencies/
   ./download-prebuilt-libs.sh
   

   For iOS (macOS only):

   ./download-prebuilt-libs.sh ios
   

4. Inform the user about manual SDKs:

   • VST2 SDK: No longer publicly available, not recommended for new projects
   • AAX SDK: Must be downloaded manually from Avid's developer portal

Notes

• AUv2/AUv3 require no additional SDKs (macOS-only formats)
• Standalone apps require no additional SDKs
• Always return to repo root after running scripts
