Contributing to the Mapbox Navigation SDK for iOS

Reporting an issue

Bug reports and feature requests are more than welcome, but please consider the following tips so we can respond to your feedback more effectively.

Please familiarize yourself with the contributor license agreement (CLA) at the bottom of this document. All contributions to the project must reflect its development standards and be offered under the terms of the CLA.

Before reporting a bug here, please determine whether the issue lies with the navigation SDK itself or with another Mapbox product:

  • For general questions and troubleshooting help, please contact the Mapbox support team.
  • Report problems with the map’s contents or routing problems, especially problems specific to a particular route or region, using the Mapbox Feedback tool.
  • Report problems in guidance instructions in the OSRM Text Instructions repository (for Directions API profiles powered by OSRM) or the Valhalla repository (for profiles powered by Valhalla).

When reporting a bug in the navigation SDK itself, please indicate:

  • The version of MapboxNavigation or MapboxCoreNavigation you installed
  • The version of CocoaPods, Carthage, or Swift Package Manager that you used to install the package
  • The version of Xcode you used to build the package
  • The iOS version and device model on which you experienced the issue
  • Any relevant settings in NavigationRouteOptions or NavigationMatchOptions
  • Any relevant language settings

Setting up a development environment

To contribute code changes to this project, use Swift Package Manager to set up a development environment. The repository includes:

  1. MapboxNavigation-SPM.xcodeproj with Example or Example-CarPlay applications.
  2. MapboxNavigation.xcodeproj, which builds the navigation SDK and its dependencies using Carthage but does not include a sample application.

Configuring credentials

  1. Go to your Mapbox account dashboard and create an access token that has the DOWNLOADS:READ scope. PLEASE NOTE: This is not the same as your production Mapbox API token. Make sure to keep it private and do not insert it into any Info.plist file. Create a file named .netrc in your home directory if it doesn’t already exist, then add the following lines to the end of the file: 
    machine api.mapbox.com
  login mapbox
  password PRIVATE_MAPBOX_API_TOKEN
    where PRIVATE_MAPBOX_API_TOKEN is your Mapbox API token with the DOWNLOADS:READ scope.

Using Swift Package Manager

In Xcode, go to Source Control ‣ Clone, enter https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios.git, and click Clone.

Alternatively, on the command line:

git clone https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-ios.git
cd mapbox-navigation-ios/
open Package.swift

The resulting package only includes the framework and test targets. It does not include the example applications, and the file list is not synchronized with the Xcode project used by Carthage, so make sure to build and test the SDK in the Xcode workspace before opening a pull request.

To run example:

  1. Open MapboxNavigation-SPM.xcodeproj
  2. Open the Info.plist in the Example target and paste your Mapbox Access Token into MBXAccessToken. (Alternatively, if you plan to use this project as the basis for a public project on GitHub, place the access token in a plain text file named .mapbox or mapbox in your home directory instead of adding it to Info.plist.)
  3. Switch to the Example or Example-CarPlay scheme, then Run the scheme to see the SDK in action.

Using Carthage

MapboxNavigation no longer supports Carthage as of v2.0.0-alpha.1. However, you can still build MapboxCoreNavigation.

To build this SDK, you need Xcode 13.0 and Carthage v0.38:

  1. (Optional) Clear your Carthage caches: 
    rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/carthage/ ~/Library/Caches/org.carthage.CarthageKit/binaries/{MapboxAccounts,MapboxCommon-ios,MapboxNavigationNative,mapbox-ios-sdk-dynamic}
  2. Run carthage bootstrap --platform iOS --cache-builds --use-xcframeworks --use-netrc.
  3. Once the Carthage build finishes, open MapboxNavigation.xcodeproj in Xcode and build the MapboxCoreNavigation scheme.

Adding new files

If you add a new file while working with Package.swift, don't forget to add this file to MapboxNavigation.xcodeproj in the appropriate location.

Making any symbol public

To add any type, constant, or member to the SDK’s public interface:

  1. Name the symbol according to Swift design guidelines and Cocoa naming conventions.
  2. In rare cases where a symbol needs to bridge to Objective-C to interoperate with the Objective-C runtime, use @objc(…) to specify an Objective-C-specific name that conforms to Objective-C naming conventions. Use the MB class prefix to avoid conflicts with client code.
  3. Provide full documentation comments. We use jazzy to produce the documentation found on the website for this SDK. Many developers also rely on Xcode’s Quick Help feature, which supports a subset of Markdown.
  4. (Optional.) Add the type or constant’s name to the relevant category in the custom_categories section of the jazzy configuration file. This is required for classes and protocols and also recommended for any other type that is strongly associated with a particular class or protocol. If you leave out this step, the symbol will appear in an “Other” section in the generated HTML documentation’s table of contents.

Adding image assets

Image assets are designed in a PaintCode document managed in the navigation-ui-resources repository. After changes to that repository are merged, export the PaintCode drawings as Swift source code and add or replace files in the MapboxNavigation folder.

Adding user-facing text

To add or update text that the user may see in the navigation SDK:

  1. Use the NSLocalizedString(_:tableName:bundle:value:comment:) method: 
    NSLocalizedString("UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER", bundle: .mapboxNavigation, value: "What English speakers see", comment: "Where this text appears or how it is used")
  2. (Optional.) If you need to embed some text in a string, use NSLocalizedString(_:tableName:bundle:value:comment:) with String.localizedStringWithFormat(_:_:) instead of String(format:): 
    String.localizedStringWithFormat(NSLocalizedString("UNIQUE_IDENTIFIER", bundle: .mapboxNavigation, value: "What English speakers see with %@ for each embedded string", comment: "Format string for a string with an embedded string; 1 = the first embedded string"), embeddedString)
  3. (Optional.) When dealing with a number followed by a pluralized word, do not split the string. Instead, use a format string and make val ambiguous, like %d file(s). Then pluralize for English in the appropriate .stringsdict file. See MapboxNavigation/Resources/en.lproj/Localizable.stringsdict for an example. Localizers should do likewise for their languages.
  4. Run scripts/extract_localizable.sh to add the new text to the .strings files.
  5. Open a pull request with your changes. Once the pull request is merged, Transifex will pick up the changes within a few hours.

Adding or updating a localization

The Mapbox Navigation SDK for iOS features several translations contributed through Transifex. If your language already has a translation, feel free to complete or proofread it. Otherwise, please request your language so you can start translating. Note that we’re primarily interested in languages that iOS supports as system languages.

While you’re there, please consider also translating the following related projects:

Once you’ve finished translating the iOS navigation SDK into a new language in Transifex, open an issue in this repository asking to pull in your localization. Or do it yourself and open a pull request with the results:

  1. (First time only.) Download the tx command line tool and configure your .transifexrc.
  2. In MapboxNavigation.xcodeproj, open the project editor. Using the project editor’s sidebar or tab bar dropdown, go to the “MapboxNavigation” project. Under the Localizations section of the Info tab, click the + button to add your language to the project.
  3. In the sheet that appears, select all the files, then click Finish.

The .strings files should still be in the original English – that’s expected. Now you can pull your translations into this repository:

  1. Run tx pull -a to fetch translations from Transifex. You can restrict the operation to just the new language using tx pull -l xyz, where xyz is the language code.
  2. To facilitate diffing and merging, convert any added .strings files from UTF-16 encoding to UTF-8 encoding. You can convert the file encoding using Xcode’s File inspector or by running scripts/convert_string_files.sh.
  3. For each of the localizable files in the project, open the file, then, in the File inspector, check the box for your new localization.

Adding tests

Supported devices:

  • iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 13.7
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15.2
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15.4
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16.1

Adding a unit test suite

  1. Add a Unit Test Case Class file to the MapboxCoreNavigationTests group in MapboxNavigation.xcodeproj. It will be located in Tests/MapboxCoreNavigationTests/.
  2. If a unit test requires a fixture, add a file to Sources/TestHelper/Fixtures/. Import TestHelper and call Fixture.stringFromFileNamed(name:) or Fixture.JSONFromFileNamed(name:).

Adding a snapshot test suite

Snapshot tests verified using SnapshotTesting library.

  1. Open Package.swift in Xcode.
  2. Select the MapboxNavigation-Package scheme.
  3. Add a Swift file to the Tests/MapboxNavigationTests/ folder.
  4. Write an XCTestCase as you would normally do.
  5. Make sure to apply the desired style in XCTestCase.setup(). For example: 
    DayStyle().apply()
  6. Use assertImageSnapshot function to verify views. 
    let view: UIView
...
assertImageSnapshot(matching: view, as: .image(precision: 0.95))
  7. For each supported device, do the following:
    1. Select the device as the target to run tests.
    2. Perform a test run that will generate reference images for future verification.
    3. Perform a second test run and make sure that it succeeds.
  8. Commit new tests along with generated snapshot images.

Running unit tests

Go to Product ‣ Test in Xcode. Snapshot tests will only pass if you select iPhone 8 Plus as the target device.

Opening a pull request

Pull requests are appreciated. If your PR includes any changes that would impact developers or end users, please mention those changes in the “main” section of CHANGELOG.md, noting the PR number. Examples of noteworthy changes include new features, fixes for user-visible bugs, and renamed or deleted public symbols.

Before we can merge your PR, it must pass automated continuous integration checks in each of the supported environments, as well as a check to ensure that code coverage has not decreased significantly.
