We only have one submodule at the moment, but because of that you will need to bring it in to the project in order to build and run it:
Run git submodule update --init --recursive
If you're not part of the DuckDuckGo team, you should provide your Apple developer account id, app id, and group id prefix in an ExternalDeveloper.xcconfig file. To do that:
- Run
cp Configuration/DuckDuckGoDeveloper.xcconfig Configuration/ExternalDeveloper.xcconfig - Edit
Configuration/ExternalDeveloper.xcconfigand change the values of all fields - Clean and rebuild the project
We use Carthage for dependency management. If you don't have Carthage installed refer to Installing Carthage.
Run carthage bootstrap --platform iOS before opening the project in Xcode
You can also run the unit tests to do the above and ensure everything seems in order: ./run_tests.sh
We use Proxima Nova fonts which are proprietary and cannot be committed to source control, see fonts.
We have Custom Instruments tool to help visualize and track events that happen during runtime.
In order to run it:
- Build a Debug version and install it on Simulator/Device.
- Select Instruments target and run it on a Mac. New instance of Instruments app will be run that has a grayed out icon indicating that it works in debug mode with custom instruments attached.
- Select 'DDG Trace' template or setup a custom one by importing 'DDG Timeline' instrument from Library .
- Start recording.
See Instruments Developer Help for reference how to create custom instruments.
