efef/ios

app for IOS

EduVPN iOS and macOS apps

These apps depend on TunnelKit.

The app contains a Network Tunneling Protocol Client and allows its users to create a VPN tunnel if you are able to connect to an EduVPN or Let's Connect enabled server.

Beware

Due to the usage of Network Extensions, you can not fully test this app on a Simulator.

The infrastructure for Network Extension (NE) providers is simply not present on the simulator because, conceptually, it lives ‘below’ the kernel, and the simulator is layered on the OS X kernel.

Building

• Clone repository
• Configure an XCConfig. Check Configuring Section for more info.
• Open included xcworkspace with Xcode (In the terminal just type: xed .)
• Build

Versioning

The build proces takes the number of commits on the current branch as the build number with git rev-list HEAD --count. The version string is configured in AppVersion.xcconfig.

The exact behavior is defined in the script set_build_number.sh.

Dependencies

Dependencies are managed with CocoaPods. But this repository is set up in such a way that you do not need CocoaPods to build this project, only when updating dependencies. Dependencies are defined in a Podfile, exact versions are 'locked' in Podfile.lock. All dependencies defined in the Podfile are committed to this repository.

Configuring

$ cp EduVPN/Config/config-template.json EduVPN/Config/config.json
