Overview

Trapeze is a native iOS and Android project management utility, with both a configuration-driven tool and a Node.js-based API. Trapeze can modify mobile projects for traditional iOS and Android, Ionic/Capacitor, React Native, and Flutter projects (with more planned).

The Configuration tool uses the Project API under the hood, but works by processing a YAML configuration file that describes various project operations. The tool supports using environment variables for easy configuration.

Some of the features of this tool include:

  • Modifying Android Manifest files
  • Modifying Gradle (Groovy) files with accurate AST-based modifications
  • Creating Android resource files
  • iOS project build configuration with full support for targets
  • Updating plist files and entitlements

The Project API abstracts away common iOS and Android project management operations to make it easy to build programmatic project automation scripts.
