+Go on iOS
+=========
+
+To run the standard library tests, run all.bash as usual, but with the compiler
+set to the clang wrapper that invokes clang for iOS. For example, this command runs
+ all.bash on the iOS emulator:
+
+ GOOS=ios GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 CC_FOR_TARGET=$(pwd)/../misc/ios/clangwrap.sh ./all.bash
+
+If CC_FOR_TARGET is not set when the toolchain is built (make.bash or all.bash), CC
+can be set on the command line. For example,
+
+ GOOS=ios GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 CC=$(go env GOROOT)/misc/ios/clangwrap.sh go build
+
+Setting CC is not necessary if the toolchain is built with CC_FOR_TARGET set.
+
+To use the go tool to run individual programs and tests, put $GOROOT/bin into PATH to ensure
+the go_ios_$GOARCH_exec wrapper is found. For example, to run the archive/tar tests:
+
+ export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH
+ GOOS=ios GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=1 go test archive/tar
+
+The go_ios_exec wrapper uses GOARCH to select the emulator (amd64) or the device (arm64).
+However, further setup is required to run tests or programs directly on a device.
+
+First make sure you have a valid developer certificate and have setup your device properly
+to run apps signed by your developer certificate. Then install the libimobiledevice and
+ideviceinstaller tools from https://www.libimobiledevice.org/. Use the HEAD versions from
+source; the stable versions have bugs that prevents the Go exec wrapper to install and run
+apps.
+
+Second, the Go exec wrapper must be told the developer account signing identity, the team
+id and a provisioned bundle id to use. They're specified with the environment variables
+GOIOS_DEV_ID, GOIOS_TEAM_ID and GOIOS_APP_ID. The detect.go program in this directory will
+attempt to auto-detect suitable values. Run it as
+
+ go run detect.go
+
+which will output something similar to
+
+ export GOIOS_DEV_ID="iPhone Developer: xxx@yyy.zzz (XXXXXXXX)"
+ export GOIOS_APP_ID=YYYYYYYY.some.bundle.id
+ export GOIOS_TEAM_ID=ZZZZZZZZ
+
+If you have multiple devices connected, specify the device UDID with the GOIOS_DEVICE_ID
+variable. Use `idevice_id -l` to list all available UDIDs. Then, setting GOARCH to arm64
+will select the device:
+
+ GOOS=ios GOARCH=arm64 CGO_ENABLED=1 CC_FOR_TARGET=$(pwd)/../misc/ios/clangwrap.sh ./all.bash
+
+Note that the go_darwin_$GOARCH_exec wrapper uninstalls any existing app identified by
+the bundle id before installing a new app. If the uninstalled app is the last app by
+the developer identity, the device might also remove the permission to run apps from
+that developer, and the exec wrapper will fail to install the new app. To avoid that,
+install another app with the same developer identity but with a different bundle id.
+That way, the permission to install apps is held on to while the primary app is
+uninstalled.
