⚙️ Codemagic CI with Axmol Android Build – CMake/Gradle Integration Issues

[arungowda09]

Hi all! 👋 I’m trying to build an Android game using Axmol 2.2.1 on Codemagic CI, and I'm running into issues with:

CMake version checks (CMake '3.28.1' was not found)

Gradle not detecting cmake.dir correctly

AXBuildSet.cmake and ax_find_shaders not found errors (despite being present locally)

It all works perfectly on my local Mac (CMake 3.31+), but Codemagic complains during Gradle's CMake sync.

I've set AX_ROOT in local.properties, downloaded CMake 3.28.1 manually, and tried pointing CMAKE_MODULE_PATH to ${AX_ROOT}/cmake, but no luck so far.

❓ Has anyone successfully built an Axmol project on Codemagic or another cloud CI (macOS)? Any examples or advice?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

✅ Update: I was able to solve the build issues on Codemagic!
🔧 Here's what worked for me:

- Manually committed the uv/ folder from 3rdparty/uv into Git (to avoid the broken uv.zip download)
- Patched .gitignore to allow _x files (some needed for libuv)
- Replaced AX_ROOT resolution with an absolute path using get_filename_component(...) instead of relying on ENV{AX_ROOT}
- Ensured cmake.dir and CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM (ninja path) were explicitly passed via Gradle CLI
- Skipped local.properties by using -D flags in ./gradlew

🎉 Result: Codemagic now builds the .aab successfully, no CMake or download errors!
Hope this helps others trying to get Axmol working on CI pipelines!
