# Building
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 1. Clone
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Clone the repo to a working directory
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 2. Depenencies
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### tldr;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Build and configure dependencies.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
make dependencies
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Dependency Details
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
We have a couple of dependency management tools. We us Carthage for
 | 
						|
managing frameworks, but because some of our dependencies are not yet
 | 
						|
framework compatible, we use Cocoapods to manage the remainder in a
 | 
						|
static library.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2.1) [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org) is used to manage the dependencies in our static library. Pods are setup easily and are distributed via a ruby gem. Follow the simple instructions on the website to setup. After setup, run the following command from the toplevel directory of Signal-iOS to download the dependencies for Signal-iOS:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
pod install
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you are having build issues, first make sure your pods are up to date
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
pod repo update
 | 
						|
pod install
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
occasionally, CocoaPods itself will need to be updated. Do this with
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
gem update cocoapods
 | 
						|
pod repo update
 | 
						|
pod install
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
2.2) Framework dependencies are built and managed using [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage). Our prebuilt WebRTC.framework also resides in the Carthage/Build directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you don't have carthage, here are the [install instructions](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#installing-carthage).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once Carthage is installed, run:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
// DO NOT run: `carthage update` or `carthage checkout`.
 | 
						|
git submodule update --init
 | 
						|
carthage build --platform iOS
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## 3. XCode
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Open the `Signal.xcworkspace` in Xcode.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
open Signal.xcworkspace
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In the Signal target on the General tab, change the Team drop down to
 | 
						|
your own. On the Capabilities tab turn off Push Notifications and Data
 | 
						|
Protection. Only Background Modes should remain on.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Some of our build scripts, like running tests, expect your Derived
 | 
						|
Data directory to be `$(PROJECT_DIR)/build`. In Xcode, go to `Preferences-> Locations`,
 | 
						|
and set the "Derived Data" dropdown to "Relative" and the text field
 | 
						|
value to "build".
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Build and Run and you are ready to go!
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Known issues
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Features related to push notifications are known to be not working for third-party contributors since Apple's Push Notification service pushs will only work with Open Whisper Systems production code signing certificate.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you have any other issues, please ask on the [community forum](https://whispersystems.discoursehosting.net/).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Building WebRTC
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A prebuilt version of WebRTC.framework resides in our Carthage submodule (see above).
 | 
						|
However, if you'd like to build it from souce, this is how it's done.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
These instructions are derived from the WebRTC documentation:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
https://webrtc.org/native-code/ios/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # 1. Install depot tools
 | 
						|
    cd <somewhere>
 | 
						|
    git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/tools/depot_tools.git
 | 
						|
    cd depot_tools
 | 
						|
    export PATH=<somewhere>/depot_tools:"$PATH"
 | 
						|
    # 2. Fetch webrtc source
 | 
						|
    cd <somewhere else>
 | 
						|
    mkdir webrtc
 | 
						|
    cd webrtc
 | 
						|
    fetch --nohooks webrtc_ios
 | 
						|
    gclient sync
 | 
						|
    # 3. Build webrtc
 | 
						|
    cd src
 | 
						|
    tools-webrtc/ios/build_ios_libs.sh
 | 
						|
    # 4. Move the WebRTC.framework into Signal-iOS's Carthage directory
 | 
						|
    mv out_ios_libs/WebRTC.framework <Your Signal-iOS repository>/Carthage/Build/iOS/
 |
