Build Boop

Build Boop

This skill handles building the Boop macOS application via xcodebuild.

Build Command

Run this exact command to build the project:

DEVELOPER_DIR=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer xcodebuild build \
  -project "/Users/fayazahmed/Developer/fayazara/mac/Boop/Boop.xcodeproj" \
  -scheme Boop \
  -configuration Debug \
  -destination "platform=macOS" \
  2>&1 | grep -E "(BUILD SUCCEEDED|BUILD FAILED|error:)" | head -20

Interpreting Results

• BUILD SUCCEEDED -- the build passed, report success to the user.
• BUILD FAILED with error: lines -- read each error, identify the source file and line, and help the user fix them. After fixing, re-run the build to verify.
• If the output is empty or unclear, re-run without the grep filter to get full output for diagnosis.

Notes

• Boop depends on Sparkle via Swift Package Manager. If resolution fails with Couldn't get revision '<tag>^{commit}', the SPM clone cache is stale:

  rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/org.swift.swiftpm/repositories/Sparkle-*
  rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Boop-*/SourcePackages
  

  then re-run with -resolvePackageDependencies.
• The updater is compiled out in Debug (#if DEBUG in UpdaterManager), so update behaviour can only be exercised in a Release build.

When to Build

• After making code changes, if the user asks to verify they compile
• When the user explicitly says "build", "compile", or "check if it builds"
• After fixing build errors, to confirm the fix worked
