Building mobile libraries
Prerequisites
protoc
Install the dependencies for generating protobuf definitions as stated in lnrpc docs
gomobile
Follow gomobile in order to install
gomobile and dependencies.
Remember to run gomobile init (otherwise the lnd build might just hang).
Note that gomobile only supports building projects from GOPATH at this
point.
falafel
Install falafel:
⛰ go get -u -v github.com/lightninglabs/falafel
Building lnd for iOS
⛰ make ios
Building lnd for Android
⛰ make android
make mobile will build both iOS and Android libs.
Libraries
After the build has succeeded, the libraries will be found in
mobile/build/ios/Lndmobile.framework and
mobile/build/android/Lndmobile.aar. Reference your platforms' SDK
documentation for how to add the library to your project.
Generating proto definitions for your language.
In order to call the methods in the generated library, the serialized proto for the given RPC call must be provided. Similarly, the response will be a serialized proto.
In order to generate protobuf definitions for your language of choice, add the
proto plugin to the protoc invocations found in
gen_protos.sh. For instance to generate protos for
Swift, add --swift_out=. and run make rpc.
Options
Similar to lnd, subservers can be conditionally compiled with the build by setting the tags argument:
⛰ make ios
To support subservers that have APIs with name conflicts, pass the "prefix" flag. This will add the subserver name as a prefix to each method name:
⛰ make ios prefix=1
