Hello Earth Project

You need to create an Xcode project. We’ll call it HelloEarth and you’ll add all your tutorial code to it.

Open Xcode, select File, New, and then Project, and the App template.

Single View Application

In this case we’re using Swift as the language and Storyboards for the UI. You can use Objective-C or SwiftUI instead, if you prefer.

Swift Storyboard

Call your new app HelloEarth. You can leave the rest as defaults.

For source control, check the Source Control box to create a local git repository for your project. You’ll need this if you set up the project with git submodules below.

Empty Hello Earth

Done? Good. Close Xcode and let’s modify the project to pull in WG-Maply.

WhirlyGlobe-Maply Distributions

We distribute the WhirlyGlobe-Maply library in one of three ways. Any one of them is fine. Pick the one you are most familiar with. Don’t care? Try binary.

It’s like a pick your own adventure book, but boring. So just like a pick your own adventure book.
