This article is a stub. Please help improve Moodle Docs by editing it and adding some content.

this is a quick guide to build the official Moodle Mobile app on iOS. It should be pretty easy to do it for your own organization.

Install xcode
Install NodeJs
- http://nodejs.org/
Install cordova-cli
- sudo npm install -g cordova - it will install cordova. Note that on my machine I have some warnings about the ios bootstrap process being skipped but all the following steps seem to work ok anyway...
Create a Xcode project
- /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova create ~/Apps/moodlemobile_android_cordova com.moodle.moodlemobile MoodleMobileBeta
- cd ~/Apps/moodlemobile_android_cordova
- sudo /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova platform add ios
- sudo /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cordova/bin/cordova build - not necessary, just check the build works.
In Finder change the permission on ~/Apps/moodlemobile_android_cordova folder: Read + Write to everyone
In Finder open /Users/jerome/Apps/moodlemobile_android_cordova/platforms/ios/MoodleMobileBeta.xcodeproj. Test you can build the default Cordova app on your phone.
