You are welcome to work on any bug or feature you would like, but we know that getting started in a new codebase can be intimidating. To that end, we recommend that you take a look at issues labeled as Your First PR. These issues are relatively small and self-contained, and should be perfect for anyone who is interested in getting their feet wet with the OneBusAway codebase.
(h/t to Microsoft's ChakraCore project for the idea of the first PR)
- Install the latest released version of Xcode 8.x from the Mac App Store

It is vital that any user-facing strings in this project are localized. If your changes reside within the OBA app itself, you must use the NSLocalizedString
macro to wrap your localizable strings. If your changes reside within OBAKit, you must make sure that you import the OBAMacros.h
header file and use the OBALocalized
macro to localize your strings.
If you are localizing the app: a) thank you so much, and b) you must supply the -s
option to genstrings
for OBAKit's custom localization macro, like so:
genstrings -s OBALocalized
