Setup

# 1. Generate the Xcode project if needed
brew install xcodegen  # if not already installed
xcodegen generate

# 2. Open in Xcode
open Dusk.xcodeproj

VLCKit is vendored but not committed to git: the Frameworks/MobileVLCKit.xcframework (iOS/iPadOS) and Frameworks/TVVLCKit.xcframework (tvOS) binaries are downloaded on demand. After cloning, fetch them (this also refreshes the pinned version):

./ci_scripts/install_vlckit.sh

CI does this automatically via ci_scripts/ci_post_clone.sh, so no binaries live in the repo.
