Build Apple

Prerequisites:

1. Computer with macOS
2. Standard iOS/macOS toolchain (Xcode)
3. Stable rust toolchain
4. cbindgen, which generates header files

cargo install cbindgen

5. Toolchain targets for building lb-rs for iOS, macOS, and various simulator targets

rustup target add aarch64-apple-ios x86_64-apple-ios aarch64-apple-darwin x86_64-apple-darwin aarch64-apple-ios-sim

Build native libraries and bootstrap swift workspace

From our repository root, install lbdev, our dev utility:

cargo install --path utils/lbdev

This will let you execute lbdev apple ws all. This will now allow you to build in XCode.

Build in Xcode

After building the native libs:

1. Open the clients/apple folder in Xcode.
2. In Xcode, open the "Signing & Capabilities" tab and set the team to your personal developer email.
3. Change the build target to MacOS or iOS and hit the Run button.

Launching via lbdev

XCode needs to be able to do these things before lbdev will start to work.

lbdev apple run macos will build all the rust and swift and run the macOS app to the current Macbook.

lbdev apple run ios <device> allows you to select an iOS device and send a build to it. This is mostly a shortcut for people who have setup these devices already in XCode.
