# Building
|
|
|
|
We typically develop against the latest stable version of Xcode.
|
|
|
|
As of this writing, that's Xcode 12.4
|
|
|
|
## Prerequistes
|
|
|
|
Install [CocoaPods](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html).
|
|
|
|
## 1. Clone
|
|
|
|
Clone the repo to a working directory:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/oxen-io/session-ios.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:**
|
|
|
|
We recommend you fork the repo on GitHub, then clone your fork:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone https://github.com/<USERNAME>/session-ios.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then add the Session repo to sync with upstream changes:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git remote add upstream https://github.com/oxen-io/session-ios
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 2. Pods
|
|
|
|
To build and configure the libraries Session uses, just run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pod install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## 3. Xcode
|
|
|
|
Open the `Session.xcworkspace` in Xcode.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
open Session.xcworkspace
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the TARGETS area of the General tab, change the Team dropdown to
|
|
your own. You will need to do that for all the listed targets, e.g.
|
|
Session, SessionShareExtension, and SessionNotificationServiceExtension. You
|
|
will need an Apple Developer account for this.
|
|
|
|
On the Capabilities tab, turn off Push Notifications and Data Protection,
|
|
while keeping Background Modes on. The App Groups capability will need to
|
|
remain on in order to access the shared data storage.
|
|
|
|
Build and Run and you are ready to go!
|
|
|
|
## Known issues
|
|
|
|
### Push Notifications
|
|
Features related to push notifications are known to be not working for
|
|
third-party contributors since Apple's Push Notification service pushes
|
|
will only work with the Session production code signing
|
|
certificate.
