xcrun -sdk iphoneos clang yellow.asm, pack it into an IPA and sign it

Hmm doesn't work. Here's the error log (I'm on Mac M2):

Maybe throw in a -framework CoreFoundation

I just tested this on my computer.

  1. Make a new Xcode iOS project and delete all files except for Info.plist
  2. Remove all keys from Info.plist
  3. In the build settings search for "storyboard" and remove all keys
  4. Add yellow.asm to project
  5. Link UIKit, and Foundation
After all that you can build and run on a simulator
