This change modifies the process for generating and integrating the Meshtastic protobufs into the client application.
* The generated Swift code is now in a local SPM package `MeshtasticProtobufs`
* An Xcode Workspace file `Meshtastic.xcworkspace` was created to more easily manage the new build targets.
* The code generation script for the protos was modified to generate the Swift code into the new location.
* The README.md was updated to reflect these changes.
NOTE: After merging this PR, do not open the project file `Meshtastic.xcodeproj`. You must use the workspace `Meshtastic.xcworkspace`
Extracting out the generated protobuf code into its own library enables several opportunities for the project. This is just a first step, but with some more modularization, a standalone Apple Watch app or other targets starts to become a little bit more achievable to implement.
After extracting the protobufs into a Swift package, I validate these changes by building and running the Meshtastic app to an iPhone 15 Pro Max, and tried changing some settings on a local node. I then messaged back and forth using two local nodes connected to two different iOS devices.
After this change, a developer can now clone the project and run without the build failing due to lint errors! 😃
* I ran `swiftlint --fix` to resolve many auto-correctable issues (mostly whitespace)
* Excluded the `Meshtastic/Protobufs` directory from lint, since that code is automatically generated.
* Converted some single letter method parameters to lowercase.
* Converted several instances `force_cast` to instead use `guard` or `if let` to unwrap optional values. During this change, some of the SwiftUI views became "too complex to be solved in a reasonable time", so I broke up the views into distinct sub-expressions.
I was able to build and run the app on an iOS simulator.
