Hi this maybe a stupid question but where is the build option in the menu in Fleet, there is run, rerun but what about if I just want to build / compile the code

Hey @Fred Bowker! I think this thread is what you're asking about. Also, if you mean some other project type than the Xcode project, like Gradle, you can define your own command which will build the project on invoking.
But indeed, there's no native support for that, let's vote for the ticket if you find it useful

Hey @Maciej Procyk thanks for the response, is the reason that there is currently no build button as it is the view that fleet will be doing incremental builds so there won’t be a reason for a build button just run.

[Fred Bowker]

Otherwise pretty much every IDE that I’ve ever used has separate build and run buttons, build is going to be far faster than build and run on device, so just trying to understand the reasoning in not including build by default

Oh and if you work on fleet, thanks for your efforts on it, anything to help me avoid using XCode is always appreciated

[Maciej Procyk]

tbh, I don't know the plans related to incremental build. But we so far try to stay align with the vision of Fleet and the functions that it offers. afaik there's no Build Project option there yet, so we don't have such for Xcode projects 🤔
But it might be worth asking / sharing your context in the ticket, to show that's important for the actual users 🤞🏻
