Ouisync dart/flutter plugin

A dart/flutter plugin providing high-level dart API for the ouisync native library.

Building the native library

The native library is built automatically as part of this plugins build process, but it needs the following prerequisities to be satisfied first:

1. Install rust

2. For each of the supported platforms, add its corresponding target:

    $ rustup target add $TARGET
   

Where $TARGET is the target triple of the platform (run rustup target list to list all available triples):

- android arm64:  `aarch64-linux-android`
- android arm32:  `armv7-linux-androideabi`
- android x86_64: `x86_64-linux-android`
- ios arm64:      `aarch64-apple-ios`
- etc...

Before using/building this plugin

In order to use this plugin, one must generate the lib/bindings.g.dart file:

$ dart run util/bindgen.dart

Note that the above needs to be done every time the public interface of the ouisync_ffi library changes.

Building the AAR

Note that one doesn't need to build the .aar file manually as it should be done automatically by the upper level project. See the ouisync-app for an example.

If - however - building the standalone .aar file is indeed desirable, runnig:

$ flutter build aar

will create a release, debug and a profile build for arm32, arm64 and x86_64 architectures (32bit x86 is omited by default).

To build only certain architectures or add the missing ones, add the --target-platform={android-arm,android-arm64,android-x86,android-x64} flag to the above command.

To avoid building the release, debug or profile versions use any combination of --no-release, --no-debug, --no-profile.
