Contributing to the Mapbox OS X SDK

This document explains how to build the Mapbox OS X SDK for contributing to the development of the SDK itself.

Requirements

The Mapbox OS X SDK and the osxapp demo application run on OS X 10.10.0 and above.

Build

1. Install core dependencies.
2. Run make xproj.
3. Switch to the osxsdk or osxapp scheme. The former builds just the Cocoa framework, while the latter also builds a Cocoa demo application based on it.

Access tokens

The demo applications use Mapbox vector tiles, which require a Mapbox account and API access token. Obtain an access token on the Mapbox account page. You will be prompted for this access token the first time you launch the demo application.

Usage

Through the OS X SDK, the demo application supports a variety of standard gestures and keyboard shortcuts. For more details, open Mapbox GL Help from the Help menu.

You can also integrate the Mapbox OS X SDK into your own Cocoa application.
