Where did you find a build of v8 for ios? Or did you build it yourself.
Ive integrated javascriptcore, chakra, v8, duktape and quickjs in my engine (for windows, ios, osx, android, magic leap and hololens - a mix on engines on diffefent platforms). But v8 has largely fallen by the wayside as building is such a pain, and my libraries end up being 50-150mb, not 7!

I never did find a build for iOS. My 7MB figure came from J2V8, which works on Android: github.com/eclipsesource/J2V8

I would imagine that means you could get something similar for iOS but I’m not any closer to knowing how than you are!
