A powerful CLI tool that enables developers to build Flutter applications for iOS and Windows platforms from a Windows environment. This tool bridges the gap for users who need access to macOS for iOS builds and simplifies the Windows build process.

• Cross-Platform Building: Build iOS applications without requiring a local macOS machine
• Windows Build Support: Streamlined Windows build process with enhanced error handling
• Remote Build Server Integration: Secure communication with remote build servers for iOS builds
• Custom Build Configurations: Support for custom build settings and configurations
• Detailed Error Reporting: Comprehensive error handling and reporting system

• Rust 1.70 or higher
• Flutter SDK installed and in PATH
• Windows 10/11 operating system
• Internet connection for iOS builds
• Access to a compatible remote build server for iOS builds

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/qharny/CrossBuild cd CrossBuild

2. Build the project:

cargo build --release

3. (Optional) Add to PATH for global access:

# Add the binary location to your system's PATH

Before using the iOS build feature, configure your remote build server:

CrossBuild configure --server "https://your-build-server.com" --api-key "your-api-key"

# Debug build CrossBuild ios # Release build CrossBuild ios --release # Custom configuration CrossBuild ios --config custom_config.json --release

# Debug build CrossBuild windows # Release build CrossBuild windows --release # Custom configuration CrossBuild windows --config custom_config.json --release

The server configuration is stored in %APPDATA%/CrossBuild/config.json:

{ "server_url": "https://your-build-server.com", "api_key": "your-api-key" }

Custom build configurations can be specified in JSON format:

{ "target_platform": "ios", "build_mode": "release", "extra_flags": [ "--no-codesign", "--verbose" ] }

The tool provides detailed error messages for common issues:

• Remote server connection failures
• Build process errors
• Configuration issues
• Flutter command execution problems
• Project validation errors
