White House for iOS mobile application

A native iOS app designed to fetch, cache, and display multiple feeds containing articles, photos, and live and on demand video. These are displayed in a web view. Includes support for push notifications.

This application is under active development and will continue to be modified and improved over time.

Goals

By releasing the source code for this app we hope to empower other governments and organizations to build and release mobile apps to engage their own citizens and constituencies. In addition, public review and contribution to the application's code base will help strengthen and improve the app.

Requirements

  1. iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch iOS version 5.1 or later
  2. RSS feeds for content to be aggregated and displayed by the app

Usage

Mobile developers will be able to configure the application to retrieve and display content from arbitrary RSS feeds. The developer will be able to configure the app to receive push notifications. Placeholder assets may be replaced to customize the app's look and feel.

Building the app requires the iOS 5.1 SDK or higher.

This app makes use of several libraries in source, binary, and submodule form. All libraries live in the libs/ directory.

The following sections describe all of the libraries and any steps necessary to initialize them.

Source

The following libraries are directly included as source code:

Submodules

The following libraries are included as submodules:

To intialize submodules, run:

git submodule update --init

Binary Libraries

The following libraries must be downloaded and installed manually:

To install Urban Airship, download the SDK and place the entire Airship directory inside of libs/.

To install Google Analytics, download the SDK and place the entire Google Analytics SDK directory inside of libs/.

NOTE: Setting up the application and configuring it for use in your organization's context requires iOS development experience. The application ships with a similar design to what is used in the White House for iOS mobile application. The application ships with "white label" placeholder assets that should be replaced by the developer.
