Oystein, should you receive this for a change, here is the relevant link once again:<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=37116&atid=418820&status=1&keyword=iphone>

Sad to hear that :(, but it happens to all of us at some point, I guess. I don't find much time for ScummVM myself either. :/

OK... Is this documented somewhere, or easily verifiably?

Right, having a version of create_project with xcode support (for iPhone primarily, but extra support for OS X won't hurt either) would be super-helpful in this regard.

We definitely should try to find somebody to (co-)maintain the iPhone port then. Considering how active the iPhone community is, I am quite hopefully that this would be possible; we just have to let people know that we are looking for help. So, a news item, a forum post, etc., for this would be good.

The question is: Who is gonna write it?
