Embedding route-me with XCode 4.x

Filed under ios by

I’m working on a new partnership project.   This one is an ios app.   I need an online/offline mapping library and route-me looks like an EXCELLENT tool.   Its easy to integrate and can use an variety of online and offline map sources.

Most of the documentation centers around xcode 3.x, which isn’t radically different from xcode 4.x, but to a relative newcomer to ios programming I wanted to get the process documented so I could reproduce it.   Here are the steps I took.   ymmv :)

First, read the excellent embedding guide for route-me.

With the changes from xcode 3.x to 4.x, here’s what I did to integrate route-me:

  • Select File->Add Files to “YourProjectName”
    • Select MapView.xcodeproj
    • DON’T select Copy into destination group’s folder
    • Add to target “YourProjectNameAppTarget” should be selected
  • If you did it right, you should have MapView.xcodeproj listed as a file with 5 targets.
  • Select the “YourProjectName” in the Groups and File Sidebar
    • In the Editor Window select the “YourProjectNameAppTarget” target
    • Select “Build Phases” in the Editor Window top bar
      • Expand “Target Dependencies”
        • Select + in “Target Dependencies” to add dependency
        • Under “MapView” select “MapView” (NOT MapView-framework) and Add
      • Expand “Link Binary With Libraries”
        • Unless already present add:
          • CoreGraphics.framework
          • CoreLocation.framework
          • QuartzCore.framework
          • libsqlite3.dylib (NOT libsqlite3.0.dylib!?)
          • libMapView.a
    • Select “Build Settings” in the Editor Window top bar
      • Select “All” right under the Editor Window top bar
      • Scroll down to “Search Paths” section and expand
        • Select Debug and Add
          • Any Architecture/Any SDK should be set
          • Double Click on path window portion
            • Select recursive
            • Add “RelativeToYourProjectMapViewFolderPath” (for me its “../route-me/MapView”
        • Select Release and Add
          • Any Architecture/Any SDK should be set
          • Double Click on path window portion
            • Select recursive
            • Add “RelativeToYourProjectMapViewFolderPath” (for me its “../route-me/MapView”
      • ???Code Signing?
  • Try a build – Your Project and MapView should both build – no warnings (???depends on target?)
  • Follow the rest of the guide for integrating route-me with your project :)
