RGB Lib Swift bindings

This project builds a Swift library, RgbLib, for the rgb-lib Rust library, which is included as a git submodule. The bindings are created by the rgb-lib-uniffi project, which is located inside the rgb-lib submodule.

Usage

To use the Swift language bindings in your Xcode iOS or MacOS project add its GitHub repository (https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib-swift) and select one of the release versions. Then link the C++ library by going to Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries -> Add items (+) and adding libc++.tbd. You may then import and use the RgbLib library in your Swift code.

Build and publish

If you are a maintainer of this project or want to build and publish this project to your own Github repository use the following steps:

# Update the submodule
git submodule update --init

# Generate the bindings and FFI ZIP
./generate.sh

Then update the Package.swift file with the new expected URL for the ZIP file and new checksum as shown at the end of the generate.sh script. For example:

.binaryTarget(
   name: "rgb_libFFI",
   url: "https://github.com/RGB-Tools/rgb-lib-swift/releases/download/0.3.0-alpha.9/rgb_libFFI.xcframework.zip",
   checksum: "0482d85d8a4865fc785029d9d5afd4e5c5322d118f36cf1a48aabe65f8d226b1"),

Commit the changed Package.swift file, then tag the commit with the new version number.

Finally, create a GitHub release for your new tag and upload the newly created ZIP to the new GitHub release and publish the release.

Now you can test the new package in Xcode. If you get an error you might need to reset the Xcode package caches: File -> Packages -> Reset Package Caches.
