XCode Build

A 100% Rust wrapper around the iOS XCode build script found in the bevy examples.

Benefits of using a Rust script over a sh (or nu):

• 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 languages (rather than set -exu)

Installation

Usage

Use xcode-build-rs xcode in the actual xcode script. Use xcode-build-rs --colour test to begin a test iOS simulator build, which shouldn't be necessary normally.

Help message xcode-build-rs --help

Build script for XCode when compiling rust for iOS

Usage: xcode-build-rs [OPTIONS] <COMMAND>

Commands:
  xcode  
  test   
  help   Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:

  -V, --version  Print version
