A Cargo plugin and library for building Apple XCFrameworks from Rust libraries
- Easily create Apple XCFrameworks from Rust libraries
- Integrates into the cargo build process. Run it with
cargo xcframework
with parameters that are almost the same as forcargo build
- Configuration in
Cargo.toml
section[package.metadata.xcframework]
- Currently supports building for iOS, macOS and simulators. If there is interest, watchOS and tvOS can be added as well.
Install:
cargo install xcframework
If you for any reason needs the bleeding-edge super fresh version:
cargo install --git https://github.com/human-solutions/xcframework
Help:
cargo xcframework --help
For setting up your project, have a look at the examples
The built XCFramework is named after the top-level module name declared in the module.modulemap
file in the include-dir
directory.
A typical such file looks like this:
The XCFramework will be named 'MyModuleName.xcframework'
framework module MyModuleName {
// a header file in the same directory as the modulemap
header "mylib.h"
export *
}
Cargo.toml parameters in section [package.metadata.xcframework]
.
# Directory where the `module.modulemap` file and the headers are located.
#
# Note that the modulemap needs to be present in the directory because the
# module name declared in it is used for the framework name.
include-dir = "my-bin-name"
# The library type. Can be staticlib or cdylib
#
# Optional. This is only necessary if both library types are configured in the
# [lib] sections `crate-type` parameter. Overridden by the command line parameter `--lib-type`.
lib-type = "staticlib"
# Whether to zip the resulting XCFramework
#
# Optional. Defaults to true.
zip = true
# Enable Cargo to compile the standard library itself as part of a crate graph compilation.
# If enabled either run with `cargo +nightly xcframework`, set the default toolchain to nightly
# or set run `rustup override set nightly` in the project directory.
#
# Optional. Defaults to false. Requires nightly. Only useful for staticlib's, ignored for cdylibs.
build-std = false
# Whether to build for macOS
#
# Optional. Defaults to false.
macOS = false
# The macOS target triples
#
# Optional. Defaults to ["x86_64-apple-darwin", "aarch64-apple-darwin"].
macOS-targets = ["x86_64-apple-darwin", "aarch64-apple-darwin"]
# Whether to build the simulator targets. Not used when building for macOS.
#
# Optional. Defaults to false
simulators = false
# Whether to build for iOS
#
# Optional. Defaults to false.
iOS = false
# The iOS target triples
#
# Optional. Defaults to ["aarch64-apple-ios"].
iOS-targets = ["aarch64-apple-ios"]
# The iOS simulator target triples. Only used if `simulators` and `iOS` are true.
#
# Optional. Defaults to ["aarch64-apple-ios-sim", "x86_64-apple-ios"]
iOS-simulator-targets = ["aarch64-apple-ios-sim", "x86_64-apple-ios"]
# If there is interest, watchOS and tvOS can be added as well.
The iOS and macOS versions targeted can be set with the environment variables:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
and IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET
. See apple_base.rs for the default values.
