Build companion via github actions workflow

[stoefln]

Since I didn't manage to build the project locally, has anyone tried to create a github workflow for this?

Hello, I'm very sorry to bother you.

I saw in other issues that you have successfully compiled this project. Could you please share your compilation process? Thank you so much!

I keep building failing in macOS 13.6.6 (22G630) + xcode 15.2 (15C500b) + intel cpu, I am using ./idb_build.sh idb_companion build build_output from idb_companion_oss_release.py and it seems to return got an error from grpc -swift:

/Users/dev/idb/build/SourcePackages/checkouts/grpc-swift/Sources/GRPC/GRPCServerPipelineConfigurator.swift:121:7: error: mutation of captured var 'logger' in concurrently-executing code
        logger[metadataKey: MetadataKey.h2StreamID] = "\(streamID)"
        ^
/Users/dev/idb/build/SourcePackages/checkouts/grpc-swift/Sources/GRPC/GRPCServerPipelineConfigurator.swift:125:86: error: reference to captured var 'logger' in concurrently-executing code
          let handler = self.makeHTTP2ToRawGRPCHandler(normalizeHeaders: true, logger: logger)

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had the same issue, but I could successfully build by

• Update the grpc-swift from 1.11.0 to 1.23.0

  idb/idb_companion.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj

  Line 1592 in 45666c7

  version = 1.10.0;

• Build plugins manually in the build folder https://github.com/grpc/grpc-swift?tab=readme-ov-file#getting-the-protoc-plugins

Thanks but after adding this I got the following error:

<module-includes>:1:9: note: in file included from <module-includes>:1:
#import "Headers/CompanionLib.h"
        ^
/Users/dev/idb/CompanionLib/CompanionLib.h:8:9: note: in file included from /Users/dev/idb/CompanionLib/CompanionLib.h:8:

        ^

#import <FBControlCore/FBControlCore.h>
        ^
<unknown>:0: error: could not build Objective-C module 'CompanionLib'

I'm so sorry, I searched a lot for related solutions but it still seems to be there, which is really frustrating.

Update:
Sorry, there are no problems now. The previous problem was caused by me forgetting to install the ios simulator in the new environment.

Not sure if you still need it now.

I have created a github actions workflow that compiles both idb.whl and idb_companion.

@flyqie can someone enlighten me how to make use of those files? how can I tell my local idb installation to use the updated files?

idb finds the location of the idb_companion binary in the following way.

idb/idb/cli/main.py

Lines 120 to 123 in 45666c7

	def get_default_companion_path() -> Optional[str]:
	if sys.platform != "darwin":
	return None
	return shutil.which("idb_companion") or "/usr/local/bin/idb_companion"

idb/idb/cli/main.py

Lines 162 to 167 in 45666c7

	parser.add_argument(
	"--companion-path",
	type=str,
	default=get_default_companion_path(),
	help="The path to the idb companion binary. This is only valid when running on macOS platforms",
	)
