Changelog

This is a human-friendly changelog in a keepachangelog.com style format. Because this changelog is for end-user consumption of meaningful changes, only a summary of a release’s changes is described. This means every commit is not necessarily mentioned, and internal refactors or code cleanups are omitted unless they’re particularly notable.

1.14.0 - 2023-12-19

New

  • Added a new incremental generation mode
    • Incremental generation mode is a new way for rules_xcodeproj to generate your project. Unlike the Build Mode (BwB or BwX), this should only really affect the process by which rules_xcodeproj takes to generate the project, not how the project itself behaves (with some small caveats). Here are some of the benefits of using incremental generation mode over the current (a.k.a "legacy") generation mode:
      • Much faster generation. Numbers from a large example project:
        • Clean
          • Analysis: 12% faster (62s vs 71s)
          • Execution: 41% faster (72s vs 123s)
        • Minimal incremental (add file to a top-level target)
          • Analysis: 36% faster (13s vs 21s)
          • Execution: 93% faster (8.5s vs 123s)
      • Lower Starlark memory usage (about 33% lower)
      • Improved target consolidation and target merging
        • Some targets can now consolidate better
        • Libraries can merge into multiple top-level targets
        • Mixed-language targets merge better
      • Improved indexing
        • All Swift compiler flags are now in the project, working around more SourceKit issues
      • Improved debugging
      • Improved handling of extra files (mainly around target focusing)
      • Improved Xcode Previews support
      • For maintainers, vastly improved maintainability (docs, tests, code structure, etc.)
    • This is currently opt in
  • Added a Bzlmod dependency on rules_python 0.27.1: #2793

Adjusted

  • Added recognition of additional deps attributes for rules_ios bundle rules: #2750
  • Archived bundles are now extracted with Bazel instead of in copy_outputs.sh: #2779

This release is the same as the 1.0.0rc3 release, with the version changed to 1.0.1.

This is the first release with a non-zero major version. Since we are using Semantic Versioning for rules_xcodeproj, from this release forward there won’t be breaking changes unless we increment our major version as well.12

Since this is the first major release, every feature can be seen as “new”, so here is the state of all features in the release:

    • Indexing (i.e. autocomplete, syntax highlighting, jump to definition)
    • Debugging
    • Runtime sanitizers

    • rules_swift
    • rules_apple
    • rules_ios
    • Most likely your custom rules as well!
  • Minimal configuration needed
  • Multiple ways of building your project in Xcode
    • Build your Bazel targets with Bazel (a.k.a Build with Bazel or BwB mode)
    • Build your Bazel targets with Xcode, not Bazel (a.k.a. Build with Xcode or BwX mode)3

Footnotes

  1. Bzlmod has a different way of marking breaking changes with module.compatibility_level. We will increment both the major version and the compatibility_level in tandum. ↩

  2. There are some APIs that have been explicitly marked as unstable, such as the XcodeProjAutomaticTargetProcessingInfo and XcodeProjInfo providers. Changes to unstable APIs do not count as breaking changes. ↩

  3. Build with Bazel mode is the build mode with first class support. We will try to make Build with Xcode mode work with every project, but there are limitations that can make the experience subpar, or not work at all. We recommend using BwB mode if possible. ↩
