What does this change?

Adds the native compile jobs this repository has never had. quality stops at TypeScript, so no
file under package/ios or package/android has ever reached a compiler — which is how 1.2.0
shipped to npm with GoogleMarkerVisualApplier.swift missing its #if canImport(GoogleMaps)
guard, breaking every Apple-Maps-only install.

Closes #120.

  • native-build.yml — reusable workflow with an ios job (two-leg matrix) and an android job.
  • native.ymlpaths:-filtered caller on pull requests and pushes to main.
  • release.ymlrelease now needs native, so a broken native build stops the npm publish.

The iOS matrix runs twice on purpose. The podspec only depends on GoogleMaps when
betterMaps.iosGoogleProvider is set, and the config plugin only sets it when a key resolves, so
the apple leg catches a missing canImport guard and the google leg catches broken guarded
code. A dummy key is enough — it is only validated at runtime — so no secret is needed and fork
pull requests work. A dedicated step asserts the two legs really differ.

Android does more than the issue asks: assembleDebug rather than compileDebugKotlin, so CMake
also compiles cpp-adapter.cpp, the generated JNI bindings and the shared C++ that
patch-nitrogen-generated.mjs rewrites — plus testDebugUnitTest, which finally runs the 13 JUnit
tests in package/android/src/test.

Deliberately not required status checks yet. A required check skipped by a paths: filter
reports as permanently pending and would block every open pull request. release.yml is the hard
gate instead. Worth promoting once these have been green for a while.

Still open from #120: the podspec test_spec (package/iosTests/) remains uninvoked. It turned
out not to be a missing CI step — React Native autolinking declares the pod without :testspecs,
so CocoaPods generates no test target at all and those two tests cannot run even locally. Being
split into its own issue.

How was it verified?

Every job was run locally with the same commands before pushing:

Result
swift test --package-path package/ios 3 tests, ~5 s
iOS apple leg BUILD SUCCEEDED, 83 object files, no GoogleMaps in Podfile.lock
iOS google leg flag written, GoogleMaps (10.15.0) installed, BUILD SUCCEEDED
Android assembleDebug BUILD SUCCESSFUL, 77 tasks
testDebugUnitTest 13 tests, 0 failures

Negative controls, which are the part that actually matters:

  • Removing #if canImport(GoogleMaps) from GoogleMarkerVisualApplier.swift makes the apple leg
    fail with error: no such module 'GoogleMaps' — the exact 1.2.0 failure.
  • A return-type error in a Kotlin source fails the Android job with the expected diagnostic.

Also confirmed the two legs are not secretly identical: on the apple leg GoogleMapProviderAdapter.o
is a 13 KB empty stub, on the google leg it is 901 KB.

actionlint is clean on all five workflows. bun run lint, typecheck, typecheck:provider-types,
build and bun test (171 tests) all pass.

Scope

  • Providers: both — the iOS matrix exercises each separately
  • Platforms: iOS and Android, CI only; no shipped code changes

Checklist

  • bun run lint, bun run typecheck and bun run build pass
  • Tests pass, and new behavior is covered by a test
  • Nitro specs changed? Not applicable — no spec changed
  • Public API changed? Not applicable — no shipped code changed
  • Commits follow Conventional Commits
  • Behavior changed without a type change? Not applicable

Notes for review

  • Corrected the version comments on two pinned action SHAs, verified against the GitHub API:
    actions/checkout@3d3c42e5… is v7.0.1 (it was commented # v4) and setup-bun is v2.2.0.
  • ci.yml gains a concurrency group. Cancellation is scoped to pull requests so a merge cannot
    discard the previous merge's result.
  • Two stale documentation claims fixed: the pull request template said generated code is committed
    (package/nitrogen/ is gitignored), and docs/expo-setup.md said the example's prebuild script
    builds the config plugin first — it does not, which is exactly where a native job fails without it.
  • First-run unknowns worth watching in this pull request's own run: the NDK download path, Xcode
    scheme autocreation on a fresh runner, and the size of the CocoaPods cache entry against the 10 GB
    repository budget.

It does not implement native compilation, native tests, native triggers, or the release gate required by issue #120.

Nothing in this repository compiled native code. `quality` stopped at
TypeScript, so no file under package/ios or package/android ever reached a
compiler. That shipped a broken release: 1.2.0 reached npm with
GoogleMarkerVisualApplier.swift missing its `#if canImport(GoogleMaps)` guard,
and every Apple-Maps-only install failed with `no such module 'GoogleMaps'`.

Add a reusable `native-build.yml` with two jobs:

- iOS, as a two-leg matrix. The podspec only depends on GoogleMaps when
  `betterMaps.iosGoogleProvider` is set, and the config plugin only sets it when
  a key resolves, so one configuration compiles the ~1300 guarded lines and the
  other does not. Both legs are needed: the `apple` leg catches a missing guard,
  the `google` leg catches broken guarded code. A dummy key is enough — it is
  only validated at runtime — so no secret is required and fork pull requests
  work. An explicit check asserts the two legs really differ.
- Android, building the library module plus the Kotlin unit tests. assembleDebug
  rather than compileDebugKotlin so CMake also compiles cpp-adapter.cpp, the
  generated JNI bindings and the shared C++ that patch-nitrogen-generated.mjs
  rewrites. testDebugUnitTest finally runs package/android/src/test.

Both jobs rebuild the whole chain, because package/nitrogen, package/plugin/build,
example/ios and example/android are all gitignored and the Gradle wrapper and
Xcode workspace only exist after an Expo prebuild.

native.yml triggers them on pull requests and pushes touching native sources.
They are deliberately not required status checks yet: a required check skipped by
a `paths:` filter reports as permanently pending and would block every open pull
request. release.yml is the hard gate instead — `release` now needs `native`, so
a broken native build stops the publish.

Also: add a concurrency group to ci.yml, drop a stale claim in docs/expo-setup.md
that the example's prebuild script builds the plugin first (it does not, which is
exactly where a native job would fail), correct the PR template's claim that
generated code is committed, document the native build chain in CONTRIBUTING.md,
and fix the version comments on the pinned actions/checkout and setup-bun SHAs.
#118 moved `zIndex` above `anchor` in the MarkerDescriptor spec, which reorders
the generated Kotlin constructor. MarkerDescriptorFixture called it positionally,
so every argument after `markerColor` shifted by one and
`:react-native-better-maps:compileDebugUnitTest` stopped compiling on main.

Nothing caught it because no workflow ran the Android unit tests; the job added
in this branch failed on its first run against main. Named arguments make the
fixture immune to the next field reorder rather than just correcting this one.

Both threads have replies. The docs/expo-setup.md ordering is fixed in fb0d0bf; the library-scheme choice is deliberate and explained inline.

@jkasprzyk17 Understood. I will review the updated pull request, including the docs/expo-setup.md ordering fix and the documented library-scheme scope.

Learning: In `.github/workflows/native-build.yml`, the iOS native CI intentionally builds the `react-native-better-maps` CocoaPods library scheme rather than the generated `NitroMapsExample` application scheme. This scope compiles the library Swift sources, Nitrogen-generated Swift, and shared C++ for Apple and Google Maps configurations while avoiding unrelated example application dependency failures. Example application linking and packaging coverage is a separate, future scope.
