Hi @jarulvalan

Thanks for your interest in SQLCipher and for posting to the discussion forum.

SQLCipher for iOS commercial builds offer a turnkey solution for Mac Catalyst.

You can request a free trial of SQLCipher for iOS commercial edition here

We don’t provide any additional documentation on how to build SQLCipher community edition for Mac Catalyst. That being said, I would recommend consulting the Mac Catalyst documentation and Creating XCFrameworks
