This repository contains rules for Bazel that can be used to generate Xcode projects from targets in your workspace.
If you run into any problems with these rules, please check our FAQ, check if another issue already exists and comment on it, or file a new issue!

- Indexing (i.e. autocomplete, syntax highlighting, jump to definition)
- Debugging
- Runtime sanitizers
- Inline warnings and errors
- Fix-its (currently only in BwX mode)
- Test selection and running
- Embedded Targets (App Clips, App Extensions, and Watch Apps)
- Dynamic frameworks
- Xcode Previews
- Focused Projects
- Include a subset of your targets in Xcode
- Unfocused targets are built with Bazel
- Works in BwX mode as well!
- Comprehensive Bazel rules support
- Core Bazel C/C++/Objective-C
- rules_swift
- rules_apple
- rules_ios
- Most likely your custom rules as well!
- Minimal configuration needed (see the usage section below)
- It “just works”
We’ve also documented the high-level design goals of the ruleset.

Installation
From the
release you wish to use,
copy the Bzlmod or WORKSPACE snippet into your repository.
If you want to manually build a release archive, you can use this command:
bazel build //distribution:release
.
Usage
Please see the documentation in the docs directory and examples in the examples directory.
Simple iOS example
Given a root level BUILD
file:
load(
"@build_bazel_rules_apple//apple:ios.bzl",
"ios_application",
"ios_unit_test",
)
load("@build_bazel_rules_swift//swift:swift.bzl", "swift_library")
load(
"@rules_xcodeproj//xcodeproj:defs.bzl",
"top_level_target",
"xcodeproj",
)
xcodeproj(
name = "xcodeproj",
project_name = "App",
tags = ["manual"],
top_level_targets = [
top_level_target(":App", target_environments = ["device", "simulator"]),
":Tests",
],
)
ios_application(
name = "App",
bundle_id = "com.example.app",
families = ["iphone", "ipad"],
infoplists = [":Info.plist"],
minimum_os_version = "15.0",
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
deps = [":Lib"],
)
swift_library(
name = "Lib",
srcs = glob(["src/*.swift"]),
)
ios_unit_test(
name = "Tests",
bundle_id = "com.example.tests",
minimum_os_version = "15.0",
test_host = ":App",
visibility = ["//visibility:public"],
deps = [":TestLib"],
)
swift_library(
name = "TestLib",
srcs = glob(["test/*.swift"]),
)
You can then create the Xcode project with:
bazel run //:xcodeproj
The generated project will be in the workspace next to the BUILD
file at
App.xcodeproj
.
