Heymate iOS Source Code Compilation Guide

Compilation Guide

1. Install Xcode (directly from https://developer.apple.com/download/more or using the App Store).
2. Clone the project from GitHub:

git clone --recursive -j8 https://github.com/TelegramMessenger/Telegram-iOS.git

3. Download Bazel 4.0.0

mkdir -p $HOME/bazel-dist
cd $HOME/bazel-dist
curl -O -L https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/releases/download/4.0.0/bazel-4.0.0-darwin-x86_64
mv bazel-* bazel

Verify that it's working

chmod +x bazel
./bazel --version

4. Adjust configuration parameters

mkdir -p $HOME/telegram-configuration
cp -R build-system/example-configuration/* $HOME/telegram-configuration/

• Modify the values in variables.bzl
• Replace the provisioning profiles in provisioning with valid files

5. (Optional) Create a build cache directory to speed up rebuilds

mkdir -p "$HOME/telegram-bazel-cache"

5. Build the app

python3 build-system/Make/Make.py \
    --bazel="$HOME/bazel-dist/bazel" \
    --cacheDir="$HOME/telegram-bazel-cache" \
    build \
    --configurationPath="$HOME/telegram-configuration" \
    --buildNumber=100001 \
    --configuration=release_universal

6. (Optional) Generate an Xcode project

python3 build-system/Make/Make.py \
    --bazel="$HOME/bazel-dist/bazel" \
    --cacheDir="$HOME/telegram-bazel-cache" \
    generateProject \
    --configurationPath="$HOME/telegram-configuration" \
    --disableExtensions

It is possible to generate a project that does not require any codesigning certificates to be installed: add --disableProvisioningProfiles flag:

python3 build-system/Make/Make.py \
    --bazel="$HOME/bazel-dist/bazel" \
    --cacheDir="$HOME/telegram-bazel-cache" \
    generateProject \
    --configurationPath="$HOME/telegram-configuration" \
    --disableExtensions \
    --disableProvisioningProfiles

7.Replace the submodules,Main Bazel build file and Resources folders from this project into your final cloned project
