NOTE: This version of the app is no longer available in the iOS App Store, and this repository is no longer being maintained. The source code of the new version of the app can be found at https://github.com/Marguerite-iOS/Marguerite
Marguerite is an iPhone app that makes it easier for riders to use the free Stanford Marguerite shuttle bus system.
- See what buses are arriving next at the Marguerite stop closest to your current location.*
- View the real-time locations of all shuttles on a Google map.
*No Internet connection required!
- Download and install Xcode 4.6.3 from the Mac App Store.
- Install the command line tools by opening Xcode, clicking the Xcode menu -> Preferences, then click the Downloads tab, then click the Components tab below, then click "Install" next to "Command Line Tools."
- Clone the git repository.
- Open the Xcode workspace (not the project!) by double clicking on the "marguerite.xcworkspace" file.
- If all of the project files appear red, completely exit Xcode and try opening the workspace file again.
- At this point you should be able to run the project in the iPhone simulator by selecting "marguerite -> iPhone 6.1 simulator" in the dropdown menu at the top left and clicking the "Run" button. However, certain features of the app will not function until you update the secrets.h file.
First, run the following command on the command line to prevent git from recognizing any changes to the secrets.h file:
git update-index --assume-unchanged secrets.h
Then, before the app will fully function, you must complete the "secrets.h" file in the root directory of the project by filling in the following strings:
- MARGUERITE_REALTIME_XML_FEED: This is the URL of the real-time Marguerite shuttle bus location XML feed. Email Kevin Conley at kcon AT stanford DOT edu to ask for this value.
- MARGUERITE_VEHICLE_IDS_URL: This is the URL that the app sends POST requests to in order to query the mappings between Marguerite "vehicle IDs" (the numbers on the sides of the buses) and the "farebox IDs" that help identify which route a particular bus is driving on. Email Kevin Conley at kcon AT stanford DOT edu to ask for this value.
- GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY: This is the API key for the Google Maps iPhone SDK. Follow the instructions here (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios/start#obtaining_an_api_key) for "Obtaining an API Key" and then update this value.
This app would not have been possible without the following open-source libraries:
- GTFSImporter for constructing an SQLite database using GTFS txt files.
- TBXML for parsing the real-time Marguerite shuttle bus location XML feed.
- ASIHTTPRequest for simplifying GET and POST requests.
- Default Icon by interactivemania for the tab bar icons.
