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/halseth/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 tags="routerrpc"
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 tags="routerrpc" prefix=1
