github.com/hikaru7719/go@v0.0.0-20181025140707-c8b2ac68906a/misc/ios/README (about) 1 Go on iOS 2 ========= 3 4 For details on developing Go for iOS on macOS, see the documentation in the mobile 5 subrepository: 6 7 https://github.com/golang/mobile 8 9 It is necessary to set up the environment before running tests or programs directly on a 10 device. 11 12 First make sure you have a valid developer certificate and have setup your device properly 13 to run apps signed by your developer certificate. Then install the libimobiledevice and 14 ideviceinstaller tools from https://www.libimobiledevice.org/. Use the HEAD versions from 15 source; the stable versions have bugs that prevents the Go exec wrapper to install and run 16 apps. 17 18 Second, the Go exec wrapper must be told the developer account signing identity, the team 19 id and a provisioned bundle id to use. They're specified with the environment variables 20 GOIOS_DEV_ID, GOIOS_TEAM_ID and GOIOS_APP_ID. The detect.go program in this directory will 21 attempt to auto-detect suitable values. Run it as 22 23 go run detect.go 24 25 which will output something similar to 26 27 export GOIOS_DEV_ID="iPhone Developer: xxx@yyy.zzz (XXXXXXXX)" 28 export GOIOS_APP_ID=YYYYYYYY.some.bundle.id 29 export GOIOS_TEAM_ID=ZZZZZZZZ 30 31 If you have multiple devices connected, specify the device UDID with the GOIOS_DEVICE_ID 32 variable. Use `idevice_id -l` to list all available UDIDs. 33 34 Finally, to run the standard library tests, run iostest.bash with GOARCH set. For example, 35 36 GOARCH=arm64 ./iostest.bash 37 38 To use the go tool directly to run programs and tests, put $GOROOT/bin into PATH to ensure 39 the go_darwin_$GOARCH_exec wrapper is found. For example, to run the archive/tar tests 40 41 export PATH=$GOROOT/bin:$PATH 42 GOARCH=arm64 go test archive/tar 43 44 Note that the go_darwin_$GOARCH_exec wrapper uninstalls any existing app identified by 45 the bundle id before installing a new app. If the uninstalled app is the last app by 46 the developer identity, the device might also remove the permission to run apps from 47 that developer, and the exec wrapper will fail to install the new app. To avoid that, 48 install another app with the same developer identity but with a different bundle id. 49 That way, the permission to install apps is held on to while the primary app is 50 uninstalled.
