Radar is the leading geofencing and location tracking platform.
The Radar SDK abstracts away cross-platform differences between location services, allowing you to add geofencing, location tracking, trip tracking, geocoding, and search to your apps with just a few lines of code.
See the Radar overview documentation here. See the Radar SDK documentation here.
You can also see a detailed SDK reference here.
See migration guides in MIGRATION.md.
Run make bootstrap to set up your environment for development and allow you to use the other make commands. It will call sudo to install some gems.
To point the SDK at a dev server during development, set TARGET_HOST at the top of AppDelegate in Example/Example/AppDelegate.swift to its address:
- Simulator:
http://localhost:8081— the simulator reaches your Mac over loopback. - Device:
http://192.168.1.10:8081— your server's LAN IP.
The Example app writes it to the SDK's API and verified hosts on launch; leave it blank to use the SDK defaults. The Example Info.plist sets NSAllowsArbitraryLoads so plaintext HTTP to any dev-server IP works without a per-developer ATS exception; certificate pinning for the Radar verified hosts is preserved via NSPinnedDomains.
Note:
NSAllowsArbitraryLoadsdisables App Transport Security app-wide and exists here only to make local development convenient in this sample app. Do not copy it into a production app — it lets your app make insecure cleartext connections. Real apps should keep ATS enabled and add a narrowly-scopedNSExceptionDomainsentry only if a specific host truly requires it.
See a Swift example app in Example/.
To run the example app, clone this repository, add your publishable API key in AppDelegate.swift, and build the app.
Setup Radar key check pre-commit hook to prevent accidental key leak when working with the Example app.
