bazel-ios-app is a simple example of iOS application with bazel build system. This example describes belwos: - Compiling iOS bazel application for simulator and a device - deploying the compile application to a device - deployting and debugging the application on a device
WORKSPACE describes a project's name and rules.
This project used the rules of https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple.git.
Therefore, WORKSPACE should contains git_repository for 0.2.0 tag for the github rules.
BUILD should be made in ios application directory.
The important one is that provisioning_profile is required only for deploying the application into a device.
In other words, it can be eliminated if you compile the application only for a simulator.
Makefile describes rules for building applications for a simulator or a device.
In order to build it for a simulator, debug.build rule can be used.
For installing it into a simulator and then running the simulator, use make simulator.
This rule will install the application and then boot and open a simulator app.
To specify the name of the simulator, you can run as below:
make simulator SIMULATOR='iPhone 8'The default device is set to iPhone X.
This is similar to compile for a simulator.
You can just run make release.build instead of make debug.build.
Firstly, you sould copy your provision into ios/.
If you want to change the provision directory, provisioning_profile setting in ios/BUILD should be modified.
Next, Note that you specify your provision into Makefile or a command in advanced.
make release.build PROVISION=cred/your_provision.mobileprovisionFor deploying the application into your device, just run make deploy.
This rule will use ios-deploy.
Therefore, you sould install ios-deploy on your system.
For the detail of installation, you can visit https://github.com/phonegap/ios-deploy.
For debugging, you can run make debug.
After that, you can see lldb
