IOS

Kiwix is already available on many platforms but not on iOS, the operating system which is on all Apple devices. We need to fix this gap!

Feature requirements

To achieve to do that we want to release, in a first time, a simple app., similar to the one we have released for Android: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=kiwix

• Agnostic ZIM file reader
• Associate *ZIM to the App
• Suggestion system
• Zoom
• "Open file" picker
• Simple but clearn UI
• Home/back/forward

Technical requirements

• Code must be based on the zimlib and Kiwix classes (C++)
• Code must be GPL
• Compilation and package must be easily compilable
• Compilation should be able to run on a VirtualBox VM
• Package must be available in iOS app. store

Tasks

• Compile the necessary c++ code in a dyn. lib
• Code the UI using the iOS SDK
• Integrated both (library+UI) in a app.
• Generate the package
• Upload the package
• Provide a simple compilation script
• Provide a VM where the package can be compiled
• Provide the app. in the iOS store

Profile

We need a motivated iOS developer which is able at the same time to deal with the iOS SDK and also who has enough skills in compilation on GNU/Linux to be able to generated the dynlib.
