Build and install to /usr/local/bin/
make install
Pinterest vendors XCHammer.app for reproducibility and simplicity.
Generate using a XCHammerConfig.
xchammer generate <configPath>
XCHammer is configured via a yaml
representation of XCHammerConfig.
The configuration describes projects that should be generated.
# Generates a project containing the target ios-app
targets:
- "//ios-app:ios-app"
projects:
"MyProject":
paths:
- "**"
See XCHammerConfig.swift for detailed documentation of the format.
To learn about how Pinterest uses XCHammer with Bazel locally check out Pinterest Xcode Focused Projects.
XCHammer additionally supports Bazel building Xcode projects, which enables remote caching and other features. This feature is experimental.
# WORKSPACE
local_repository(
name = "xchammer_resources",
path = "/Path/To/xchammer.app/Contents/Resources",
)
# BUILD.Bazel
load("@xchammer_resources//:xcodeproject.bzl", "xcode_project")
xcode_project(
name = "MyProject",
targets = [ "//ios-app:ios-app" ],
paths = [ "**" ],
)
XCHammer provides a path to optionally integrate with Xcode's build system and progress bar.
- Install support for Xcode's progress bar for Xcode 11
xchammer install_xcode_build_system
- add
--build_event_binary_file=/tmp/bep.bep
to your.bazelrc
- make sure Xcode's new build system is enabled
