Cargo xcode-build-rs
A 100% Rust wrapper around the iOS XCode build script found in the bevy
examples.
Benefits of using a Rust script over a sh
ell script (or nu
shell):
- Can be updated since the binary is distributed using
crates.io
- Allows for global collaboration, e.g. I find a case where I need to
sudo xcode-select --install
and that suggestion can be added to the error message for everyone to benefit from - Can handle more complex logic and using libraries easier, e.g. checks that the
cc
compiler is on$PATH
- Logs everything using human-understandable logs (rather than
set -exu
)
Installation
cargo install cargo-xcode-build-rs
This is how I used it in my XCode project, which was copied from the bevy
mobile example:
https://github.com/ActuallyHappening/YMap/blob/master/crates/cargo_xcode_build_rs/docs/xcode-usage.png
Usage
Use cargo xcode-build-rs --manifest-dir . xcode
in the actual xcode script.
Use cargo xcode-build-rs --manifest-dir . --colour test
to begin a test iOS simulator build, which shouldn't be necessary normally.
Configuration
To compiles projects for iOS with special Cargo features enabled, add a package.metadata.xcode-build-rs
section to your Cargo.toml
file. For example:
[package.metadata.xcode-build-rs.ios]
## As an example, when set to true enabled default features
## which is already the default.
## Set to false to disable default features
## See Cargo's docs: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/features.html#dependency-features
default-features = true
## What features to enable
features = ["ios"]
## Extra flags to pass to `cargo rustc`
extra_flags = ["--cfg", "winit_ignore_noise_logs_unstable"]
Help message cargo xcode-build-rs --help

Commands:
