nxnative build command generator

Choose your game and options and copy the exact command for scripts/build_ipa_from_nsp.py. Run it in your nxnative folder on the Mac that builds the app.

Presets:

Game

Packed app

Game language (-l)

It must be a language the game has; otherwise the build stops and lists the game's languages.

Game folder

The folder with the game's NSP files (with its update and DLC). For a Switch 2 game, the folder of its files.

Keys file (-k)

Your own prod.keys. Not needed for a Switch 2 dump folder.

App name (--app-name)

Build folder (--work-dir)

Where the extracted files, shader cache and temporary files go, for example another disk.

Frame-rate counter (iPhone and iPad)

Keep the game files out of the app (--romfs separate). For very large games: the app is small and quick to rebuild, but you run one extra command once to copy the game files to your iPhone or iPad. Needs the extracted files kept. Turn off motion controls (--no-motion). For when the gyro or the phone's motion misbehaves in a game. Delete the extracted game files after building (--no-keep-extracted). Saves disk space, but the next build of that game extracts everything again.

More options

Bundle ID (--bundle-id)

Output path (-o)

Apple developer team ID (--team-id)

Mac signing identity (--mac-sign)

Title ID when the folder holds several games (--title-id)

Run it from the nxnative folder after the setup in the build guide, with game files you own. The script asks for anything you leave out. Rules it enforces: --romfs separate cannot be combined with the Mac platforms and needs the extracted files kept; --mac-sign needs the Mac app; --prepare-xcode is not offered here. Run --help for every option. Nothing you type here leaves your browser. Need a settings file for the finished app? Use the env.txt generator. Stuck? Troubleshooting.
