Hi folks! I want to share how we are invoking Gradle from our Xcode project when building our iOS app. We only build the configuration (Release/Debug/simulator/device) actually requested by Xcode. We also generate a dependencies file (Makefile style

.d

-file) which Xcode uses to determine whether Gradle needs to be run at all. Xcode will discover changes to

.kt

files (which we edit in Android Studio, they aren't part of the Xcode project), changes to the Gradle files, etc and only then rebuild the framework. It works nicely so far. Would be great to get some feedback on the approach. https://gist.github.com/ntherning/dafd5979bdfb660bbf516066ca056931

Hi Niklas. We had a similar approach (altough not exactly the same), however we got issues each time when toggling between the Release and Debug environment from Xcode. The build after changing configuration would fail. Does this approach solve that issue?

I haven't run into any issues yet. Building debug builds for debugging on sim/device and archiving release builds for device all seem to work as expected. I have updated the gist with further instructions on how to embed the lib which I forgot in the first version. Unfortunately one has to edit the Xcode

project.pbxproj

file in a text editor to make it select the correct

.framework

depending on the

CONFIGURATION

and

PLATFORM_NAME

build variables. Don't like to have to do that but it does the trick and Xcode doesn't seem to mind.
