| This page contains resources that help you use Bazel to build macOS and iOS |
| projects. It links to a tutorial, build rules, and other information specific to |
| using Bazel to build and test for those platforms. |

| |
| The following resources will help you work with Bazel on macOS and iOS projects: |
| |
| * [Tutorial: Building an iOS app](tutorial/ios-app.html) |
| * [Objective-C build rules](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/be/objective-c.html) |
| * [General Apple rules](https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_apple) |
| * [Integration with Xcode](ide.html) |

| ## Apple apps and Skylark |
| |
| **Note**: Extending Bazel with Skylark is for advanced build and test scenarios. |
| You do not need to use Skylark when getting started with Bazel. |
| |
| The following [Skylark](https://docs.bazel.build/versions/master/skylark/concepts.html) |
| modules, configuration fragments, and providers will help you extend Bazel's |
| capabilities when building your macOS and iOS projects: |
