In order to build the project in Xcode you will also need a file `GoogleService-Info.plist` at the root of the repository which contains the Firebase configuration. For development work you can use a mock version found [here](https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-ios/blob/master/mock-GoogleService-Info.plist).
Nextcloud enforces the [Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://developercertificate.org/) on Pull Requests. It requires your commit messages to contain a Signed-off-by line with an email address that matches your GitHub account.
The DCO is a way for contributors to certify that they wrote or otherwise have the right to submit the code they are contributing by adding a Signed-off-by line to commit messages.
```
My Commit message
Signed-off-by: Random Contributor <random@contributor.dev>
```
Git even has a `-s | --signoff` command line option to append this to your commit messages automatically.
If you need assistance or want to ask a question about the iOS app, you are welcome to [ask for support](https://help.nextcloud.com/c/clients/ios) in our Forums. If you have found a bug, feel free to [open a new Issue on GitHub](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/issues). Keep in mind, that this repository only manages the iOS app. If you find bugs or have problems with the server/backend, you should ask the [Nextcloud server team](https://github.com/nextcloud/server) for help!
