This is a small example of how to build an iOS application with Bazel. If you want to know how it works and how to develop an example from scratch, check the article.
To build and test the project you need the following dependencies:
- Xcode 11.2.0
- Bazel 1.1.0
- Carthage 0.34.0
If you want to generate the Xcode project, you will need to install Tulsi. You will need to setup the environment with carthage before build any target. I've built a script to automatizate this:
$ make setup
To build the iOS app and generate an IPA file you will run:
$ make build
If you want to test all targets on project run the following:
$ make test
To run the app on simulator from terminal you could exec:
$ make run
To generate the xcode project from terminal you need to run:
$ make project
This command generate a project on Develop environment, if you want to change it, you could run:
$ scripts/tulsigen config/BazelSample.tulsiproj Production
If you want to build a release version with Production envinronment you need pass the following options:
$ tools/bazelw build //App:Sample --config release --define envinronment=production
Maybe you need to config the ios_signing_cert_name on .bazelrc, and specify the provisioning_profile to handle the signing of the IPA file.
