Setup

Requirements

Xcode 13+
Swift 5.5+
iOS 14.0+

Install the latest version of Xcode from the App Store or Apple Developer Download website. Also, we assert you have the Homebrew package manager.

This guide may not suit your machine and actually setup procedure may change in the future. Please file the issue or Pull Request if there are any problems.

CocoaPods

The app use CocoaPods and Arkana. Ruby Gems are managed through Bundler. The M1 Mac needs virtual ruby env to workaround compatibility issues. Make sure you have Rosetta installed if you are using the M1 Mac.

Intel Mac

gem install bundler
bundle install

M1 Mac

# install the rbenv
brew install rbenv
which ruby
# > /usr/bin/ruby
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.zprofile
source ~/.zprofile
which ruby
# > /Users/mainasuk/.rbenv/shims/ruby

# select ruby
rbenv install --list
# here we use the latest 3.0.x version
rbenv install 3.0.3
rbenv global 3.0.3
ruby --version
# > ruby 3.0.3p157 (2021-11-24 revision 3fb7d2cadc) [arm64-darwin21]

gem install bundler
bundle install

Bootstrap

# make a clean build
bundle install
bundle exec pod clean

# setup arkana
# please check the `.env.example` to create your's or use the empty example directly
bundle exec arkana -e ./env/.env

# clean pods
bundle exec pod clean

# make install
bundle exec pod install --repo-update

# open workspace
open Mastodon.xcworkspace

The Arkana plugin will setup the push notification endpoint. You can use the empty template from ./env/.env or use your own .env file. To setup the push notification. Please check section Push Notification below.

The app requires the App Group capability. To make sure it works for your developer membership. Please check AppSecret.swift file and set another unique groupID and update App Group settings.

Push Notification (Optional)

The app is compatible with toot-relay APNs. You can set your push notification endpoint via Arkana. There are two endpoints:

NotificationEndpointDebug: for DEBUG usage. e.g. https://<your.domin>/relay-to/development
NotificationEndpointRelease: for RELEASE usage. e.g. https://<your.domin>/relay-to/production

Please check the Establishing a Certificate-Based Connection to APNs document to generate the certificate and exports the p12 file.

Note: Please check and set the notification.Topic to the app BundleID in toot-relay.go. The server needs use a reverse proxy to port this relay on 443 port with valid domain and HTTPS certificate.
