Room (KMP) platform implementations of SQLiteDriver have a method for registering extensions. Has anyone installed an SQLite extension successfully for iOS in production app? From what I understand AppStore blocks loading libraries at runtime :thinking_face: Is it even possible?

I want to use <https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec|sqlite-vec> extension

I have not made a production app but AFAIK iOS does allow dlopen / dlsym, however it must not be used to access private iOS APIs and it must not be used to load downloaded code / libraries, in other words, as long as the extension is bundled with the app, it should be OK.

Note that only the `BundledSQLiteDriver` would allow you to load extensions since the `NativeSQLiteDriver` that links to iOS's sqlite has loading extensions at runtime turned off, instead you would need to statically link your extension if using the framework SQLite.

Thank you!
FYI I went with ObjectBox db for now. But I will surely revisit this in the future when I have more time for experiments :bow:

No problem! Use what works best for your case, hehe.
