About

Projections is an iOS library for performing projection conversions between coordinates.

For conversions between geometries, see Simple Features Projections.

Build

IMPORTANT - Be sure your Mac has the autoconf, automake, and glibtoolize utilities. These are required to build the PROJ dependency. Without them, pod install will fail. The easiest way to get these is to brew install them:

brew install automake
brew install libtool

Build this repository using Xcode and/or CocoaPods:

pod repo update
pod install

Open proj-ios.xcworkspace in Xcode or build from command line:

xcodebuild -workspace 'proj-ios.xcworkspace' -scheme proj-ios build

Run tests from Xcode or from command line:

xcodebuild test -workspace 'proj-ios.xcworkspace' -scheme proj-ios -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 15'

Include Library

See the above note about automake and glibtoolize.

Include this repository by specifying it in a Podfile using a supported option.

Pull from CocoaPods:

pod 'proj-ios', '~> 2.0.3'

If you use use_modular_headers! in your Podfile, disable modular headers for the PROJ dependency:

pod 'proj-ios', '~> 2.0.3'
pod 'PROJ', :modular_headers => false

Pull from GitHub:

pod 'proj-ios', :git => 'https://github.com/ngageoint/projections-ios.git', :branch => 'master'
pod 'proj-ios', :git => 'https://github.com/ngageoint/projections-ios.git', :tag => '2.0.3'

Include as local project:

pod 'proj-ios', :path => '../projections-ios'

Swift

To use from Swift, import the proj-ios bridging header from the Swift project's bridging header

#import "proj-ios-Bridging-Header.h"

// CLLocationCoordinate2D coordinate = ...

let projection1 : PROJProjection = PROJProjectionFactory.projection(withAuthority: PROJ_AUTHORITY_EPSG, andIntCode: PROJ_EPSG_WEB_MERCATOR)

let transform : PROJProjectionTransform = projection1.transformation(with: projection2)
