CARTO Mobile SDK core project

CARTO Mobile SDK

CARTO Mobile SDK is a multi-platform mobile mapping SDK written mostly in C++11 with bindings to numerous languages (Java/C# for Android, ObjectiveC/C# for iOS and C# for Universal Windows Platform).

This project contains the core part of the SDK, for samples, look at the 'Usage' section.

Building

We strongly suggest to use the precompiled SDK versions that can be found in the Releases section

Getting all the SDK dependencies resolved and waiting for the build to complete can be very time-consuming.

Dependencies

Use git submodule to resolve all source-level dependencies

git submodule update --init --remote --recursive

Special swig version (swig-2.0.11-nutiteq branch) is needed for generating language-specific wrappers, this can be downloaded from https://github.com/CartoDB/swig. Clone it and compile it using usual ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make routine. Make sure build script refers to this one.

Python 2.7.x is used for build scripts

CMake 3.14 or later is required by build scripts

Android build requires Android SDK and Android NDK r19 or later.

iOS build requires XCode 7.3 or later.

Universal Windows Platform build requires Visual Studio 2019.

Building process

Be patient - full build will take 1+ hours. You can speed it up by limiting architectures and platforms where it is built.

Set up boost library:

cd libs-external/boost
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 headers
cd ../..

Go to 'scripts' library where the actual build scripts are located:

cd mobile-sdk/scripts

Android build

python swigpp-java.py --profile standard
python build-android.py --profile standard

iOS build

python swigpp-objc.py --profile standard
python build-ios.py --profile standard

Xamarin Android build

python swigpp-csharp.py --profile standard android
python build-xamarin.py --profile standard android

Xamarin iOS build

python swigpp-csharp.py --profile standard ios
python build-xamarin.py --profile standard ios

Universal Windows Platform build

python swigpp-csharp.py --profile standard winphone
python build-winphone.py --profile standard
