time_now_d() lazily initialized g_startTime on its first call, which is a data race between threads, and left from_time_raw() subtracting zero (returning seconds since boot) if it happened to run before any time_now_d(). Set it in TimeInit() instead, matching what the Windows path already does with frequencyMult. That only works if TimeInit() is actually called, and iOS was the one entry point that never did - Windows, UWP, SDL, Qt, Android, libretro, headless and the unit tests all do it as the first thing in main(). Added it there too. Timing risk: anything calling time_now_d() before TimeInit() now gets seconds since boot rather than a value near zero. All entry points call TimeInit() first, so this only bites code running from a static initializer; deltas between two timestamps are unaffected either way.

Updating with a self-built MoltenVK
Probably won't be needed again.

The Old iOS Build Instructions
Important Notes
These instructions have not been updated for a long time and may be outdated.
Prerequisites:
- Xcode (from the Mac App Store) with command line tools installed
- MacPorts (from macports.org); easiest to install with their package installers
- cmake build system (from MacPorts); run "sudo port install cmake" from the command line
If you need to build ffmpeg yourself too, then you'll also need:
-
gas-preprocessor; download the zip from https://github.com/mansr/gas-preprocessor, unzip and from the command line run:
sudo cp gas-preprocessor.pl /usr/bin/ sudo chmod +rw /usr/bin/gas-preprocessor.pl -
you may need pkg-config (from MacPorts); run "sudo port install pkgconfig" from the command line
Most of this is done from the command line:
Change directory to wherever you want to install ppsspp (eg. "cd ~"), and then clone the main ppsspp repository:
git clone https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git
Change directory to the newly created ppsspp directory and run:
git submodule update --init
The above command will pull in the submodules required by PPSSPP, including the native, ffmpeg, and lang directories. Included in the ffmpeg directory should be the necessary libs and includes for ffmpeg, so most people can skip the next command. However, if you need to recompile ffmpeg for some reason, change directory into ffmpeg and run (this will take a while):
./ios-build.sh
Change directory back up to the main ppsspp directory and do the following:
mkdir build-ios
cd build-ios
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=../cmake/Toolchains/ios.cmake -GXcode ..
You now should have an Xcode project file in the build-ios directory named PPSSPP.xcodeproj. Open it up in Xcode and do Product->Build to build the debug version, or Product->Build For->Archiving to build the release version (which is much faster). If your iOS device is plugged in, you may be able to just Run in Xcode to install and test it. Otherwise, copy the PPSSPP app from build-ios/Debug-iphoneos/PPSSPP.app or build-ios/Release-iphoneos/PPSSPP.app to the /Applications directory on your device and from ssh or MobileTerminal do a "chmod +x PPSSPP" inside the PPSSPP.app directory. If this is the first time you've installed the PPSSPP app, you'll have to respring or restart your device for the icon to show up.
