Building

Android runtimes depends on docker and the dockercross/* docker-images created for cross-compilation. If docker is installed for your current user then building all the runtimes bundled in a zip file is as easy as:

mix package.android.runtime

After this you should have all runtimes in _build/#{arch}-runtime.zip these then will need to be packaged with your mobile app.

For iOS builds are triggered similiary with:

mix package.ios.runtime
