## Start contributing
You can start by forking this repository and creating pull requests on the develop
branch. Maybe start working on [starter issues](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/labels/good%20first%20issue).
Easy starting points are also reviewing [pull requests](https://github.com/nextcloud/ios/pulls)
### Xcode 14 Project Setup
#### Dependencies
After forking a repository you have to build the dependencies. Dependencies are managed with Carthage version 0.38.0 or later.
Run
```
carthage update --use-xcframeworks --platform iOS
```
to fetch and compile the dependencies.
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).
### Creating Pull requests
#### DCO Signoff
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.
##### How to Sign off
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
```
Git even has a `-s | --signoff` command line option to append this to your commit messages automatically.
## Support
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).
