[sword-devel] PocketSword progress

[Troy A. Griffitts]

If anyone cares, there is now a supportes build of a Universal libsword binary in the SWORD repo that works for MacOS and iOS. It's under the objc bindings and drew heavily from the setup already in there by Manfred and others (thank you)  This readme at this path in the source is a good place to start.

In addition, there are new Swift bindings which work against that Universal binary for both MacOS and iOS. They were done for the Cordova plugin, but most of the code could be used standalone if anyone is interested in writing a Swift UI.
