NativePHP is designed to bundle PHP along with your application, so your users do not need to have PHP installed on their system. NativePHP packages your Laravel-based application with its own runtime, ensuring that it works across Windows, macOS, and Linux without requiring users to install PHP manually.

When you build your NativePHP app, it will include:

  1. PHP runtime
  2. Your Laravel application
  3. Any necessary dependencies

Thats the whole idea of Native PHP and Native iOS project. PHP is bundled in chance you have to stick to the extensions they provide as you can not add/install your own.
