mustiikhalil b8db3a9a6a Adds windows swift support (#8622)
Adding support for windows requires the code generations
to add a compiler statement to completely ignore GRPC code
generation on windows

Cleanup the project to use the main Package.swift to run tests
instead of having it separate and includes the imports for GRPC
within it.

Adds windows swift ci

Languages known issues

Python

  • Assert the type required in your server/client since python is able to receive Bytes array or utf8 strings.
def SayHello(self, request, context):
    # request might be a byte array or a utf8 string

    r = HelloRequest.HelloRequest().GetRootAs(request, 0)
    reply = "Unknown"
    if r.Name():
        reply = r.Name()
    # Issues might happen if type checking isnt present.
    # thus encoding it as a `reply.decode('UTF-8')`
    return build_reply("welcome " + reply.decode('UTF-8'))

This can be prevented by making sure all the requests coming to/from python are Bytes array

def say_hello(stub, builder):
    hello_request = bytes(builder.Output())
    reply = stub.SayHello(hello_request)
    r = HelloReply.HelloReply.GetRootAs(reply)
    print(r.Message())

Go

  • Always requires the content-type of the payload to be set to application/grpc+flatbuffers

example: .SayHello(ctx, b, grpc.CallContentSubtype("flatbuffers"))
