giellakbd-ios

An open source reimplementation of Apple's native iOS keyboard with a specific focus on support for localised keyboards and support for minority and indigenous languages.

Building & Running

Note: the first build will take a while.

1. Install Cocoapods
2. pod install
3. Open GiellaKeyboard.xcworkspace
4. From the target menu in Xcode, select HostingApp
5. Run
6. Follow the instructions to enable the keyboard on your device/simulator
7. After enabling, open an app that uses the keyboard, such as Messages, and tap a text field to bring up the keyboard
8. Tap and hold the globe button in the bottom left corner of the keyboard and select "Template Keyboard"
9. Done. You should now see the Divvun nordsamisk keyboard

Sentry

To enable Sentry, add a SentryDSN key to the HostingApp/Supporting Files/Info.plist file.

Updating localisations

npm i -g technocreatives/i18n-eller
i18n-eller generate swift Support/Strings/en.yaml Support/Strings/*.yaml -o HostingApp

If you add a new locale, please open an issue to have it added to the language list inside the app.

Keyboard layouts

This repo does not include any keyboard layouts. It is intended to be used as a template for kbdgen, which consumes among other things this codebase, as well as layouts as listed in e.g. divvun-keyboard to produce the actual keyboard app. The keyboard layout specifications are found in the GiellaLT organisation.

Deploying

Builds can be deployed using the divvun-keyboard repo
