@chka What error do you get?

I have the same problem. I forget the specifics but it usually craps out trying to compile things related to ffmpeg. This problem exists with Qt Example code, not just my own. I wonder if the iOS simulator can't handle certain aspects of multimedia e.g. the camera. I also wonder if a big monolithic multimedia library is a poor design choice. I don't need camera capabilities but I would like audio output.

@RogueWarrior Multimedia module uses ffmpeg as default backend. I guess you may need to install ffmpeg. If you prefer gstreamer, install gstreamer.

Okay, but how would you do that on the iPhone Simulator?

[RogueWarrior]

Okay, so the linker error is essentially saying that it's looking for x86_64 functions but only arm64 versions exist.
