iOS Operations

To provide iOS project operations using the Configuration Tool, use the ios platform key under the top-level platforms key:

platforms:
  ios:

Targets and Builds​

iOS supports multiple operations and can perform them against different project targets and build types. If a target is not specified, the tool will infer the app target in the project. If a build is not specified commands will operate on all builds in a target (Debug and Release, for example). Thus, complex projects should specify at least the target name to avoid issues.

Here's an example of not supplying the target name and having it inferred by finding the first target with the productType of "com.apple.product-type.application":

platforms:
  ios:
    # Operations for the main app target

Here's an example of specifying the target:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        # Operations for the App target
      My App Clip:
        # Operations for the My App Clip target

In this example, both a target and build type are provided:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        builds:
          Debug:
            # Operations for the App target and Debug build
          Release:
            # Operations for the App target and Release build

version​

Updates the human-readable version for the given target and build:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        version: 16.4

buildNumber​

Sets the integer build number for the given target and build:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        buildNumber: 128

incrementBuild​

Increments the build number for the given target and build:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        incrementBuild: true

bundleId​

Sets the bundle id for the given target and build:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        bundleId: $BUNDLE_ID

displayName​

Sets the display name for the given target and build:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        displayName: My Awesome App

productName​

Sets the product name for the given target and build. This sets the PRODUCT_NAME field in your project build settings for this target and build.

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        productName: Awesome App

buildSettings​

Sets build settings fields for this target and build.

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        buildSettings:
          ENABLE_BITCODE: false
          STRIP_SWIFT_SYMBOLS: false

plist​

Updates values in the INFOPLIST_FILE for the given target and build, or updates the given plist file. Set replace to true to overwrite the entire target object (if false, the values will be merged):

New in 7.0.3 (not yet released):

Raw plist XML can be supplied using xml (which can be supplied directly or through an env var). When using this option along with file, the entire plist file is overwritten with the given source. When not using file the values are merged into the INFOPLIST_FILE.

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        plist:
          - replace: true
            file: GoogleService-Info.plist
            entries:
              - Key: Value

          - replace: true
            entries:
              - UISupportedInterfaceOrientations:
                  - UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait

          - replace: false
            entries:
              - CFBundleURLTypes:
                  - CFBundleURLSchemes:
                      - AdditionalBundleURLScheme
          
          - file: GoogleService-Info.plist
            xml: $GOOGLE_SERVICE_PLIST_RAW

entitlements​

Updates the entitlements for a given target and build. The value can either be an array of objects to merge into the existing entitlements list, or specify the edit operation manually. See examples below:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        # Passing an array of objects, these values will be merged by default
        entitlements:
          - keychain-access-groups: ['$BUNDLE_ID', 'com.microsoft.intune.mam', 'com.microsoft.adalcache']
        # Passing an object with options for the entitlements operation, and then an array of objects
        entitlements:
          replace: true
          entries:
            - keychain-access-groups: ['$BUNDLE_ID', 'com.microsoft.intune.mam', 'com.microsoft.adalcache']

json​

Modifies JSON files relative to the root of the iOS project. Use set to override the element (and clobber any children), or merge to merge the values:

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        json:
          - file: google-services.json
            set:
              project_info:
                project_id: "MY_ID"
          - file: google-services.json
            merge:
              data:
                field: "MY_FIELD"

xml​

Modifies XML files relative to the root of the iOS project. This operation supports the following XML file modifications:

  • attrs updates the attributes of the given target node.
  • merge merges the given XML tree supplied to merge with the given target. Merge expects a matching root node to be supplied. The merge algorithm merges any nodes that match with at least all of the supplied node's attributes, or appends any new children not found in the target node.
  • inject injects the given XML tree supplied to inject inside of the given target
  • delete deletes nodes specified by delete in XPath format.
  • deleteAttributes deletes the given attributes in deleteAttributes inside of the given target
platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        xml:
          - file: file.xml
            target: entries/field
            merge: |
              <field>
                <string>Value</string>
              </field>

copy​

Copies files, directories, or URLs relative to the root of the iOS project (./ios/App by default).

platforms:
  ios:
    targets:
      App:
        copy:
          - src: ../firebase/GoogleService-Info.plist
            dest: App/GoogleService-Info.plist
          - src: old/path/of/directory
            dest: new/path/of/directory
          - src: https://example.com/file.png
            dest: new/path/of/file.png

strings​
