CARTO Mobile SDK is a multi-platform mobile mapping SDK written mostly in C++11 with bindings to numerous languages (Java/C# for Android, ObjectiveC/C# for iOS and C# for Windows Phone).

This project contains the core part of the SDK, for samples, look at the 'Usage' section.

We strongly suggest to use the precompiled SDK versions that can be found in the samples below (in 'Usage' section). The precompiled libraries include support for CARTO online services (basemaps, offline map packages, routing, etc). Also, getting all the SDK dependencies resolved and waiting for the build to complete can be very time-consuming.

Use git submodule to resolve all source-level dependencies

git submodule update --init --remote --recursive

Special swig version (swig-2.0.11-nutiteq branch) is needed for generating language-specific wrappers, this can be downloaded from https://github.com/CartoDB/swig. Clone it and compile it using usual ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make routine. Make sure build script refers to this one.

Python 2.7.x is used for build scripts

CMake 3.14 or later is required by build scripts

Android build requires Android SDK and Android NDK r19 or later.

iOS build requires XCode 7.3 or later.

Windows Phone build requires Visual Studio 2019.

Be patient - full build will take 1+ hours. You can speed it up by limiting architectures and platforms where it is built.

Set up boost library:

cd libs-external/boost
./bootstrap.sh
./b2 headers
cd ../..

Go to 'scripts' library where the actual build scripts are located:

cd mobile-sdk/scripts

python swigpp-java.py --profile standard
python build-android.py --profile standard

python swigpp-objc.py --profile standard
python build-ios.py --profile standard

python swigpp-csharp.py --profile standard android
python build-xamarin.py --profile standard android

python swigpp-csharp.py --profile standard ios
python build-xamarin.py --profile standard ios

python swigpp-csharp.py --profile standard winphone
python build-winphone.py --profile standard

Use precompiled GDAL library containing headers and .so files. Make symbolic links from GDAL_precompiled/android to prebuilt/gdal and GDAL_precompiled/android to libs-external/gdal.

python swigpp-java.py --profile gisextensions
python build-android.py --profile gisextensions --android-abi=armeabi-v7a --android-abi=arm64-v8a --android-abi=x86

Note: you need to copy libgdal.so files from the GDAL_precompiled folder
