- Add iOS build configuration in SConstruct (static library, LIBPATH) - Add ios-release target and iOS lib copy in Makefile - Add iOS entries to gdextension file - Add iOS build step to GitHub Actions macOS job
iOS uses static libraries (.a) unlike other platforms' shared libraries, so godot-cpp, pffft, and libmysofa must be provided separately at final link time. Add ios-deps Makefile target to build pffft and libmysofa from source, copy godot-cpp after scons build, and declare all dependencies in the gdextension file.
Keep the ios/ directory in the repository so CI copy commands work without needing mkdir, consistent with android/ directories.
Add pffft and libmysofa as git submodules under src/lib/, consistent with how godot-cpp and steamaudio are managed. Update Makefile ios-deps to build from submodule paths instead of cloning into a temp directory.
iOS does not support Embree, so fall back to the default scene type, consistent with the existing macOS ARM64 and Android fallbacks.

Summary
.a) instead of shared libraryios-depstarget to build pffft and libmysofa for iOS, andios-releasetarget with godot-cpp copysrc/lib/Why static libraries need extra dependencies
iOS requires static libraries (
.a), unlike other platforms which use shared libraries (.dylib/.so/.dll).Shared libraries resolve all symbols at build time, but static libraries defer symbol resolution to the final Xcode link stage.
Therefore godot-cpp, pffft, and libmysofa must be explicitly provided as dependencies in the gdextension file.
