Weex Apache Source Release

Weex produce SDKs to integrate to iOS/Android/Mobile web applications. This file will cover how to build Weex from source. You can either use the script we provided or manually build from source step by step. See README.md for further information about Weex Framework.

Weex SDK includes 3 different SDKs to use in corresponding system/browser:

See our guide in our website to learn more about how to integrate Weex SDK to your app.

Build Environment

The environment required to build weex as follow:

  • Android SDK:
    • NodeJS 4.0+
    • JDK 1.6+
    • Android SDK($ANDROID_HOME must be set properly)
    • Gradle 2.0+
    • NDK r16
    • CMake 3.9.0+
  • iOS SDK:
    • NodeJS 4.0+
    • XCode & Command Tools 8.0+
  • Mobile web SDK:
    • NodeJS 4.0+

This article was tested in MacOSX system.

Build All by Script

This script will build Android and iOS SDKs:

$ bash scripts/build_from_source.sh

This's may take a while. After that, you can look into dist/, android/sdk/build/output/ and ios/sdk/Products for Web/Android/iOS SDK artifacts.

Build for Platforms

You can build all SDKs by one script as described above, or just build for a single platform you want step by step.

Build Javascript Framework

Javascript Framework is required by native SDKs. So this must be built first. Install npm dependencies(You must have node&npm installed):

$ npm install --production

Install build tools:

$ npm run install:buildtools

Build the javascript libraries:

$ npm run build:source

Before build Native SDK

Move min version to Native SDK folder, which will be used by native SDK build.

cp packages/weex-js-framework/index.min.js ios_sdk/WeexSDK/Resources/main.js cp packages/weex-js-framework/index.min.js android_sdk/assets/main.js

Build Android SDK

Make sure you have install gradle, see more details about ‘how to install gradle’ in gradle website. execute root folder of project

$ gradle wrapper --gradle-version 2.14.1

Create a Gradle setting file

$ echo 'include ":android_sdk"'>settings.gradle

Build the SDK

$ ./gradlew :android_sdk:assemble -PasfRelease

Now, you can see the artifacts under android_sdk/build/output/. You can now import the aar file to your android project.

Build iOS SDK

Execute command below to compile iOS SDK:

$ xcodebuild -project ios_sdk/WeexSDK.xcodeproj -target WeexSDK_MTL

Then you'll found iOS library(Framework file) under ios_sdk/Products.
