Mobile/PhoneGap/iOS build instructions

Wikipedia's new official mobile application is designed to run cross-platform using the PhoneGap framework. Initial steps to make it work on iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) are underway.



Requirements

 * Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
 * XCode 4.3
 * PhoneGap 1.4.1 for iPhone (We are incompatible with v1.5 for now)
 * after installing XCode, install the PhoneGap iPhone frameworks

Get source
$ git clone git://github.com/wikimedia/WikipediaMobile.git

You'll need to pull some submodules also:

$ git submodule init $ git submodule update $ cd Wikipedia-iOS/Submodules/ShareKit $ git submodule init $ git submodule update

Running



 * 1) Open 'Wikipedia-iOS.xcodeproj' in XCode
 * 2) Select an appropriate simulator
 * 3) * or ... a real device. Getting that set up is an exercise for the reader.
 * 4) Hit 'Run'
