A fully-featured iOS client for accessing your secure cloud storage and communication tools, powered by MEGA.

This guide will help you build the MEGA iOS application using Xcode on macOS.

• Xcode

1. Update .gitmodules:

   • Update:
     • Modules/DataSource/MEGAChatSDK/Sources/MEGAChatSDK → https://github.com/meganz/MEGAchat.git
     • SDK → https://github.com/meganz/SDK.git

2. Remove submodules:

   • iosTransifex
   • Modules/MEGASharedRepo

3. Replace Shared Repo:

   • Download MEGASharedRepo
   • Replace the old one in the /Modules directory.

4. Install CMake:

   • Navigate to the scripts folder and run:

     ./install-cmake.sh

   • Alternatively, public users may run from the root folder:

     ./config.sh

     and ignore any non-critical errors.

5. Synchronize Git Submodules:

   git add .gitmodules
   git rm --cached Modules/MEGASharedRepo
   git rm --cached iosTransifex
   git submodule sync
   git submodule update --init --recursive

6. Manually Pull Code if Needed:

   • For folders that failed to fetch:
     • Modules/DataSource/MEGAChatSDK/Sources/MEGAChatSDK
     • Modules/DataSource/MEGASDK/Sources/MEGASDK
     • iMEGA/Vendor/SVProgressHUD
     • iMEGA/Vendor/LTHPasscodeViewController

   Run:

   git checkout <latest-commit>
   git branch -D master
   git checkout -b master

   • For SVProgressHUD (use custom_mega branch) and LTHPasscodeViewController (use custom-MEGA branch):

     git checkout <latest-commit>
     git branch -D master
     git checkout -b <branch_name>

7. Download and Unzip Required Dependencies: Place these under: Modules/DataSource/MEGAChatSDK/Sources/MEGAChatSDK/bindings/Objective-C/3rdparty

   • include.zip
   • webrtc.zip

8. Generate the DB Schema: Navigate to:

   Modules/DataSource/MEGAChatSDK/Sources/MEGAChatSDK/src

   and run:

   cmake -P genDbSchema.cmake

9. Update Swift Package Dependency: Replace:

   • https://code.developers.mega.co.nz/mobile/kmm/mobile-analytics-ios with:
   • https://github.com/meganz/mobile-analytics-ios.git

1. In the terminal, run:

   ./configure.sh

2. Open the Xcode workspace:

   open iMEGA.xcworkspace

3. Select the MEGA target.
4. Build and run using ⌘R.

To build third-party dependencies manually:

1. Open a terminal at:

   Modules/DataSource/MEGASDK/Sources/MEGASDK/bindings/ios/3rdparty

2. Run:

   sh build-all.sh --enable-chat

   ⚠️ This may take ~30 minutes.

• autoconf
• automake
• cmake
• libtool
