Tool to create PySwiftKit based Apps

Create a New Project

First, create a new project which will generate a pyproject.toml file:

#psproject init HelloWorld
uv init --package HelloWorld --python 3.13.8

Navigate to the new project directory:

Or open it in VS Code:

psproject is part of the app development and should only be added in dev mode, which uv automatic enables by default. pips added in dev group, won't be included in the macos/ios site-packages

Configure for Kivy

The generated pyproject.toml will contain default configuration. To create a Kivy-based app, add Kivy to the project dependencies and configure the PSProject backends:

[project]
authors = [ { email = "foo@baz.com", name = "somebody" } ]
dependencies = [
    "kivy"
]
description = "Add your description here"
name = "helloworld"
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.13.8"
version = "0.1.0"

[tool.psproject]
app_name = "HelloWorld"
backends = [
    "kivyschool.kivylauncher"
]
cythonized = false
pip_install_app = true

Create Xcode Project

Generate the Xcode project:

uv run psproject create xcode

Update Site Packages

To update the Xcode project's site-packages:

uv run psproject update site-packages
