Test app for arti-library

Arti-iOS-test

This is a small test-app that uses lightarti-rest to communicate with a website over Tor. It sends a single GET request and displays the result as plain text. There is an attempt at running the synchronous call in the background here: BackgroundCall.swift

For more information, see

• lightarti-rest - for the underlying glue code to call into arti from FFI
• lightarti-rest-ios - for the iOS library
• arti-android - for the Android library

Updating the tor-directory cache

This version uses a cached version of the tor-directory. It is available in the lightarti-directory repository and updated once a day. To copy the latest files to the test app, you can simply run make:

make

If the files are older than 1 day, it will download newer files.

Using XCode

Here a short summary for the next time I try to use it with XCode:

Using lightarti-rest-ios from github

Remove an eventual local lightarti-rest-ios:

1. Click on the Project Navigator in the upper left

2. In Packages at the top, delete the lightarti-rest-ios package with Remove Reference

3. Choose lightarti-rest-ios-test

4. In the main view, select Project and in Package Dependencies add a Package

5. Choose GitHub and search for lightarti-rest-ios or enter the url https://github.com/c4dt/lightarti-rest-ios

6. Confirm with Add Package, wait for verification, Add Package again

7. Wait for XCode to do its thing as seen in the upper right

8. In the menu Product, choose Clean Build Folder

Using a local lightarti-rest-ios

We suppose that you have lightarti-rest, lightarti-rest-ios, and lightarti-rest-ios-test in the same directory.

Remove an eventual github lightarti-rest-ios:

1. Click on the Project Navigator in the upper left
2. Choose lightarti-rest-ios-test
3. In the PROJECT, choose Package Dependencies and delete the lightarti-rest-ios in Packages

Do the following:

1. Go to lightarti-rest and run make dev
2. In XCode, click on the Project Navigator in the upper left
3. Right-click in Packages on top and choose Add Packages
4. Choose Add Local and select the lightarti-rest-ios directory
5. Wait for XCode to do its thing as seen in the upper right
6. Choose lightarti-rest-ios-test in the Project Navigator
7. In the main view, select Targets, and in General at the bottom, click to add a new Frameworks, Librarires, and Embedded Content
8. Select the Workspace / lightarti-rest-ios / lightarti-rest-ios
9. Wait for XCode to do its thing as seen in the upper right
10. In the menu Product, choose Clean Build Folder
11. In the Packages/lightarti-rest-ios/Package.swift, comment the binary target linking to the github, and uncomment the binary target with the path. Don't forget to undo the change once you're done with testing!

Once you use the local lightarti-rest-ios, you can modify the lightarti-rest and run make dev whenever needed in lightarti-rest.
