1.15.0: Incremental generation mode fixes

What’s Changed

New

• cmake sources are now included in the Project navigator: #2847

Adjusted

• The default --experimental_remote_download_regex flag set by rules_xcodeproj has been expanded to explicitly list file types needed for indexing: #2859
  • Incremental generation mode has been adjusted to not manually track generated files, resulting in lower CPU and memory usage
  • The targets for a scheme (e.g. .app, .xctest, .a) are now built in Index Build, similar to how Xcode does it
  • This should improve indexing of more complicated setups (e.g. ones that use VFS overlays or hmap files)
• Added --experimental_use_cpp_compile_action_args_params_file to baseline xcodeproj.bazelrc: #2850
  • Fixes a long command-line issue in incremental generation mode

Fixed

• Fixed build_targets in xcschemes to accept string labels: #2864
• Fixed folder-type files (e.g. .xcassets) in incremental generation mode: #2841
• Fixed generated input source file error in incremental generation mode: #2851
• Fixed simulator UI test debugging in incremental generation mode: #2849
• Fixed a potential hang in import_indexstores: #2858

1.14.2

What’s Changed

Since 1.14.1

• Fix another incremental installer issue: #2826

Below are the changes that were in 1.14.1.

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
    • Set xcodeproj.generation_mode to "incremental" to try it out
    • Use xcodeproj.xcschemes, instead of xcodeproj.schemes, if you define custom schemes
    • Note: Only BwB mode is supported
• 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
• cc_common.merge_cc_infos is now only called if needed: #2762
• Disabled the GenerateTAPI Xcode action: #2724
• Improved handling of source-less library targets: #2714
• Optimized some Starlark CPU usage: #2760
• Optimized some Starlark retained memory usage: #2769 and #2777
• Upgraded bazel_features to 1.1.1: #2718
• Upgraded apple_support, rules_apple, and rules_swift in WORKSPACE macro: #2824
• Removed --collect_specs support: #2803
• Removed DEPLOYMENT_LOCATION hack when using BwB mode: #2790

Ruleset Development Changes

• Upgraded rules_apple related dev dependencies: #2728
• Upgraded dev version of skylib to 1.5.0: #2729

1.14.0: Incremental generation mode

What’s Changed

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
    • Set xcodeproj.generation_mode to "incremental" to try it out
    • Use xcodeproj.xcschemes, instead of xcodeproj.schemes, if you define custom schemes
    • Note: Only BwB mode is supported
• Added a Bzlmod dependency on rules_python 0.27.1: #2793
