Building

  1. Clone the repo to a working directory

  2. CocoaPods is used to manage dependencies. 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 update
pod install

occasionally, CocoaPods itself will need to be updated. Do this with

sudo gem update
  1. Open the Signal.xcworkspace in Xcode. 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.
