**Welcome!**
## Welcome!
This module is the main repository for both **Xamarin.iOS** and **Xamarin.Mac**.
These frameworks allow us to create native iOS, tvOS, watchOS and Mac applications using the same UI controls we would in Objective-C and Xcode, except with the flexibility and elegance of a modern language (C#), the power of the .NET Base Class Library (BCL), and two first-class IDEs—Xamarin Studio and Visual Studio—at our fingertips.

### Continuous Builds ###
This repository is where we do development for the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDKs. There are a few ways that you can contribute, for example:
You can download continuous builds of our main development branches from [our wiki page](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki#continuous-builds).
- [Submit bugs and feature requests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Submitting-Bugs-&-Suggestions)
- [Review source code changes](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pulls)
- [Submit pull requests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#pull-requests) to resolve issues and fix bugs
## Build requirements ##
## Contributing
* Autoconf, automake and libtool.
If you are interested in fixing issues and contributing directly to the code base, please see the document [How to Contribute](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute), which covers the following:
You can use brew, or [this script](https://gist.github.com/rolfbjarne/3a979187ddd0855da073) to get
it directly from gnu.org (you'll have to edit your PATH to include /opt/bin if you use the script)
- How to [build and run](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Build-&-Run) from source
- The [development workflow](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#work-branches), including [debugging](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/Build-&-Run#debugging-applications-from-source) and [running tests](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/blob/master/tests/README.md)
- [Coding Guidelines](https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/wiki/How-to-Contribute#coding-guidelines)

- Discuss development and design on [Gitter](https://gitter.im/xamarin/xamarin-macios) or email [macios-devel@lists.xamarin.com](http://lists.xamarin.com/mailman/listinfo/macios-devel)
* CMake
You can use brew, or download manually from [cmake.org](https://cmake.org/download/).
CMake must be in PATH, so if you install it somewhere else, you'll have to
fix up your PATH accordingly (not necessary if installed using brew).
To install using brew:
$ brew install cmake
* Xcode
To build the Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac SDKs you need a certain version of Xcode.
The build will tell you exactly which version you need.
You can download the Xcode version you need from [Apple's Developer Center](https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action?name=Xcode)
(requires an Apple Developer account).
To ease development with different versions of the SDK that require different versions
of Xcode, we require Xcode to be in a non-standard location (based on the Xcode version).
For example Xcode 7.0 must be installed in /Applications/Xcode7.app.
The recommended procedure is to download the corresponding Xcode dmg from Apple's
Developer Center, extract Xcode.app to your system, _and rename it before
launching it the first time_. Renaming Xcode.app after having launched it
once may confuse Xcode, and strange errors start occuring.
* Mono MDK.
The build will tell you if you need to update, and where to get it.
* Xamarin Studio.
The build will tell you if you need to update, and where to get it.
* You can also provision some of the dependencies with an included script:
$ ./system-dependencies.sh --provision-[xcode|xamarin-studio|mono|all]
## Quick build & install ##
Follow the following steps to build and install Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac:
1. Clone this repository and its submodules
$ git clone --recursive git@github.com:xamarin/xamarin-macios.git
$ cd xamarin-macios
2. Fetch dependencies and build everything
$ make world
3. Make sure permissions are OK to install into system directories (this will ask for your password)
$ make fix-install-permissions
4. Install into the system
$ make install-system
5. Build again after any local changes
Don't use `make world` again to rebuild, because it resets dependencies
and causes unnecessary rebuilds. Instead use the standard `make all install`
(our Makefiles are parallel safe, which greatly speeds up the build):
$ make all -j8 && make install -j8
## Configure ##
There is a configure script that can optionally be used to configure the build.
By default, everything required for both Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Mac will be built.
* --disable-mac: Disable Mac-related parts.
* --disable-ios: Disable iOS-related parts.
In both cases the resulting build will contain both iOS and Mac bits because:
* Parts of the iOS build depends on Mac parts (in particular mtouch uses
Xamarin.Mac).
* The class libraries builds can not be disabled because a very common error
is to end up with code that only works/builds in either iOS or Mac.
* --enable-ccache: Enables cached builds with `ccache` (default if `ccache` is found in the path).
* --disable-ccache: Disables cached builds with `ccache`, even if it is present.
* --disable-strip: If executables should be stripped or not. This makes it easier
to debug native executables using lldb.
* --help: Show the help.
