GitHub is used for bug tracking. Please search [existing issues](https://github.com/metabolist/metatext/issues) and create a new one if the issue is not yet tracked.
- Clone the repository (`git clone https://github.com/metabolist/metatext.git`)
- Open `Metatext.xcodeproj` in Xcode
- Select the top-level "Metatext" item in Xcode and change the team in each target's "Signing & Capabilities" settings to your own
All dependencies are managed using [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager) and will automatically be installed by Xcode.
### Push Notifications
Push notifications will not work in development builds of Metatext unless you host your own instance of [metatext-apns](https://github.com/metabolist/metatext-apns) and change the `pushSubscriptionEndpointURL` constants in [IdentityService.swift](https://github.com/metabolist/metatext/blob/main/ServiceLayer/Sources/ServiceLayer/Services/IdentityService.swift) to its URL.
## Architecture
- Metatext uses the [Model–view–viewmodel (MVVM) architectural pattern](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model–view–viewmodel).
- View models are clients of a service layer that abstracts network and local database logic.
- Different levels of the architecture are in different local Swift Packages. `import DB` and `import MastodonAPI` should generally only be done within the `ServiceLayer` package, and `import ServiceLayer` only within the `ViewModels` package.
