Developer information

If you are interested in building the app yourself, read on.

To download and install the measurement-kit library we use CocoaPods.

To install cocoapod use

sudo gem install cocoapods # brew install cocoapods on macOS

Then use the command:

pod install

This command will install the latest stable binary measurement-kit library and its dependencies and install the frameworks inside the Xcode Workspace.

Then open the xcode workspace (not the xcode project!) located in ooniprobe.xcworkspace and click on run to build it.

How to complile a specific version of oonimkall for an Xcode project.

The most important dependency is oonimkall. This dependency contains the network measurement engine. Its sources are at ooni/probe-cli. We fetch the oonimkall framework directly from ooni/probe-cli releases.

You can use a specific version of oonimkall it in your project by changing the release to which it points to in the Podfile.

Then type pod install and open .xcworkspace file (beware not to open the .xcodeproj file instead, because that alone won't compile).
