For iOS and Android

MapLibre GL Native is a community led fork derived from mapbox-gl-native prior to their switch to a non-OSS license. The fork also includes Maps SDK for iOS and MacOS (forked from mapbox-gl-native-ios) and Android SDK (forked from mapbox-gl-native-android). These platform-specific SDKs were merged under platform directory and they reference mapbox-gl-native directly, not as a submodule.

Beside merging in platform specific SDKs, the following changes were made compared to original mapbox projects:

• The code was upgraded so that it can be built using latest clang compiler / Xcode 12.
• CI/CD was migrated from CircleCI to GitHub Actions.
• Along with GitHub releases, binaries are distributed as follows:
  • The iOS binaries distribution was upgraded from fat packages to Swift package containing XCFramework.
  • The Android binaries are distributed to GitHub maven package repository.

The mapbox-gl-native was forked from d60fd30 - mgbl 1.6.0, mapbox-gl-native-ios from a139216 and mapbox-gl-native-android from 4c12fb2

Mapbox Maps SDK for Android	Release

1. Add bintray maven repositories to your build.gradle at project level so that you can access MapLibre packages for Android:

       allprojects {
           repositories {
               ...
               maven {
                   url = "https://dl.bintray.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native"
               }
           }
       }

2. Add the library as a dependency into your module build.gradle

       dependencies {
           ...
           implementation 'org.maplibre.gl:android-sdk:9.2.1'
           ...
       }

3. Sync gradle and rebuild your app

1. To add a package dependency to your Xcode project, select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency and enter its repository URL. You can also navigate to your target’s General pane, and in the “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” section, click the + button, select Add Other, and choose Add Package Dependency.

2. Either add MapLibre GitHub distribution URL (https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native-distribution) or search for maplibre-gl-native package.

3. Choose "next". Xcode should clone the distribution repository and download the binaries.

You can also download pre-build from releases in this repository.

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native.git

Make sure you have set Android SDK path in platform/android/local.properties, variable sdk.dir

cd platform/android
BUILDTYPE=Release make apackage

Binaries are produced in platform/android/MapboxGLAndroidSDK/build/outputs/aar/MapboxGLAndroidSDK-release.aar Please refer to Mapbox Maps SDK for Android for detailed instructions.

cd platform/ios
make xcframework BUILDTYPE=Release

The packaging script will produce a platform/ios/build/ios/pkg/dynamic Please refer to Mapbox Maps SDK for iOS for detailed instructions.

cd platform/ios
make xpackage

This produces a Mapbox.framework in the platform/ios/build/macos/pkg/ folder. Please refer to Mapbox Maps SDK for macos for detailed instructions.
