Missing iosx64 library on jcenter

[amytang0]

We are trying to move our PBAndK-generated protobuf models to a KMM module and while it works great on Android still,
the ./gradlew packForXCode task fails at ./gradlew :compileKotlinIosX64 since the runtime library for ios is not published.

       - https://jcenter.bintray.com/pro/streem/pbandk/runtime-iosx64/0.9.0-rc.3/runtime-iosx64-0.9.0-rc.3.pom

Thank you!

Hi @amytang0. We haven't yet setup the CI to do iOS and macOS builds of pbandk. We plan to tackle it prior to the 1.0 release of pbandk, but I don't have a specific timeline for that. If you're familiar with CircleCI (or interested in learning), we'd gladly take a pull request to add this. See #88 for details. In the meantime, you'll have to build iOS and macOS libraries locally if you need them for your project.

I'll close this as a duplicate of #88.

How would we go about building the library locally? @garyp

@KweBoakye You can build it using the typical gradle workflow and then publish the library to your local maven repository:

cd pbandk
./gradlew build publishToMavenLocal

If you run that command on a macOS machine, then gradle will build the iOS and macOS variants of pbandk and publish them to your local ~/.m2/repository directory. If you're building a project that depends on pbandk on the same machine, you can have it depend on your locally-built pbandk libraries by adding a mavenLocal() entry to the repositories {} section of your build.gradle file.
