Crime Eye

An iOS app that allows users to view crime in a postcode. Various implementations of this service already exist in webapp form, however we wanted to make a truly native iOS app that runs smoothly.

To setup the project

Prerequisites

1. CocoaPods.
2. Xcode 7.7.1+.
3. iOS 9.1+ if running on a device.
4. Swift 2.1.
5. Git command line.

Run the project

Clone the project.

$ git clone git@github.com:crime-eye/ios.git

Install the pods.

$ pod install

Open the workspace file and not the .xcodeproj file.

$ open CrimeEye.xcworkspace

Troubleshooting

I can't install cocoapods

$ sudo gem install cocoapods
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EPERM)
    Operation not permitted - /usr/bin/xcodeproj

The above error occurs as a result of the new System integrity protection feature introduced in El Capitan. It restricts even administrators from writing to /usr/bin.

To get around the problem, define a new place where your OS looks for gems. As an example, I have used the folder .gems in my home directory:

echo "export GEM_HOME=~/.gems" >> ~/.bashrc
echo "export PATH=$PATH:~/.gems/bin" >> ~/.bashrc

Opening CrimeEye.xcodeproj does nothing!

Open CrimeEye.xcworkspace instead!
