Skill: Gradle Build Commands

Use these commands to build and run the app by platform.

Common checks

• Repository baseline: ./gradlew check
• Shared library tests: ./gradlew :sharedLib:test
• CLI tests: ./gradlew :cliApp:test
• Compose tests: ./gradlew :composeApp:test

Guidance

• Prefer module-scoped tasks for faster feedback.
• Run full checks only when change scope spans multiple modules.

Build and Run by Platform

CLI App (cliApp)

Native CLI executables for desktop platforms:

Platform	Build Debug	Build Release	Output Location
macOS (Apple Silicon)	./gradlew :cliApp:linkDebugExecutableMacosArm64	./gradlew :cliApp:linkReleaseExecutableMacosArm64	cliApp/build/bin/macosArm64/
Linux	./gradlew :cliApp:linkDebugExecutableLinuxX64	./gradlew :cliApp:linkReleaseExecutableLinuxX64	cliApp/build/bin/linuxX64/
Windows	./gradlew :cliApp:linkDebugExecutableMingwX64	./gradlew :cliApp:linkReleaseExecutableMingwX64	cliApp/build/bin/mingwX64/

Run the CLI: ./cliApp/build/bin/<target>/debugExecutable/twofac.kexe

Desktop GUI App (composeApp - Desktop)

Action	Command
Run dev build	./gradlew :composeApp:run
Run release build	./gradlew :composeApp:runRelease
Create distributable	./gradlew :composeApp:createDistributable
Package for current OS	./gradlew :composeApp:packageDistributionForCurrentOS
Package release for current OS	./gradlew :composeApp:packageReleaseDistributionForCurrentOS

Platform-specific packages (run on respective OS):

Platform	Package Commands
macOS	:composeApp:packageDmg, :composeApp:packageReleaseDmg
Linux	:composeApp:packageDeb, :composeApp:packageReleaseDeb
Windows	:composeApp:packageMsi, :composeApp:packageReleaseMsi

Uber JAR (cross-platform):

Action	Command
Debug uber JAR	./gradlew :composeApp:packageUberJarForCurrentOS
Release uber JAR	./gradlew :composeApp:packageReleaseUberJarForCurrentOS

Output: composeApp/build/compose/binaries/main/

Android Mobile App (androidApp)

Action	Command
Build debug APK	./gradlew :androidApp:assembleDebug
Build release APK	./gradlew :androidApp:assembleRelease
Install debug	./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug
Uninstall	./gradlew :androidApp:uninstallDebug
Build bundle (AAB)	./gradlew :androidApp:bundle

Output: androidApp/build/outputs/apk/ or androidApp/build/outputs/bundle/

Run/install on a specific emulator and launch the app explicitly:

ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5554 ./gradlew :androidApp:installDebug
adb -s emulator-5554 shell am start -n tech.arnav.twofac.app/.MainActivity
adb -s emulator-5554 shell dumpsys activity activities | rg 'Resumed: ActivityRecord|mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp'

When multiple Android devices are connected, always set ANDROID_SERIAL for Gradle and use adb -s <serial> for launch/verification commands.

Wear OS Watch App (watchApp)

Action	Command
Build debug APK	./gradlew :watchApp:assembleDebug
Build release APK	./gradlew :watchApp:assembleRelease
Install debug	./gradlew :watchApp:installDebug
Uninstall	./gradlew :watchApp:uninstallDebug
Build bundle (AAB)	./gradlew :watchApp:bundle

Output: watchApp/build/outputs/apk/ or watchApp/build/outputs/bundle/

iOS App (composeApp + iosApp)

Framework linking (for Xcode integration):

Action	Command
Debug framework (device)	./gradlew :composeApp:linkDebugFrameworkIosArm64
Debug framework (simulator)	./gradlew :composeApp:linkDebugFrameworkIosSimulatorArm64
Release framework (device)	./gradlew :composeApp:linkReleaseFrameworkIosArm64
Release framework (simulator)	./gradlew :composeApp:linkReleaseFrameworkIosSimulatorArm64

Output: composeApp/build/bin/<target>/debugFramework/ or releaseFramework/

Running the iOS app: Open iosApp/iosApp.xcworkspace in Xcode and run from there. Xcode triggers embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode automatically.

Xcode integration: The task embedAndSignAppleFrameworkForXcode is called by Xcode's build phase.

watchOS (future)

Not yet implemented. See .agents/plans/02-watchos-companion-app.md for planned architecture.

Web/Wasm (composeApp - Wasm)

Action	Command
Dev server	./gradlew :composeApp:wasmJsBrowserDevelopmentRun
Production build	./gradlew :composeApp:wasmJsBrowserProductionWebpack
Combined distribution	./gradlew :composeApp:composeCompatibilityBrowserDistribution

Output: composeApp/build/dist/wasmJs/
