+# Integrating the Mapbox iOS SDK into your application
+
+This document explains how to build a development version of Mapbox iOS SDK for the purpose of incorporating it into your own Cocoa Touch application.
+
+### Requirements
+
+The Mapbox iOS SDK and iosapp demo application build against the iOS 7.0 SDK. They are intended to run on iOS 7.0 and above on the following devices and their simulators:
+
+* iPhone 4S and above (5, 5c, 5s, 6, 6 Plus)
+* iPad 2 and above (3, 4, Mini, Air, Mini 2, Air 2)
+* iPod touch 5th generation and above
+
+### Build
+
+1. [Install core dependencies](../../INSTALL.md).
+
+1. Install [appledoc](http://appledoc.gentlebytes.com/appledoc/) for API docs generation.
+
+ ```
+ curl -L -o appledoc.zip https://github.com/tomaz/appledoc/releases/download/v2.2-963/appledoc.zip
+ unzip appledoc.zip
+ cp appledoc /usr/local/bin
+ cp -Rf Templates/ ~/.appledoc
+ ```
+
+1. Run `make ipackage`. The packaging script will produce the statically-linked `libMapbox.a`, `Mapbox.bundle` for resources, a `Headers` folder, and a `Docs` folder with HTML API documentation.
+
+### Access Tokens
+
+_The demo applications use Mapbox vector tiles, which require a Mapbox account and API access token. Obtain an access token on the [Mapbox account page](https://www.mapbox.com/studio/account/tokens/)._
+
+Set up the access token by editing the scheme for the application target, then adding an environment variable with the name `MAPBOX_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

+
+### Test
+
+In the context of your own app, you can now either:
+
+#### CocoaPods
+
+Currently, until [#1437](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/issues/1437) is completed, to install a _development version_ of Mapbox GL using CocoaPods you will need to build it from source manually per above.
+
+1. Zip up the build product.
+
+ ```
+ cd build/ios/pkg/static
+ ZIP=mapbox-ios-sdk.zip
+ rm -f ../${ZIP}
+ zip -r ../${ZIP} *
+ ```
+
+1. Modify a custom `Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec` to download this zip file.
+
+ ```rb
+ {...}
+
+ m.source = {
+ :http => "http://{...}/mapbox-ios-sdk.zip",
+ :flatten => true
+ }
+
+ {...}
+ ```
+
+1. Update your app's `Podfile` to point to the `Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec`.
+
+ ```rb
+ pod 'Mapbox-iOS-SDK', :podspec => 'http://{...}/Mapbox-iOS-SDK.podspec'
+ ```
+
+1. Run `pod update` to grab the newly-built library.
+
+#### Binary
+
+1. Built from source manually per above.
+
+1. Copy the contents of `build/ios/pkg/static` into your project. It should happen automatically, but ensure that:
+
+ - `Headers` is in your *Header Search Paths* (`HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS`) build setting.
+ - `Mapbox.bundle` is in your target's *Copy Bundle Resources* build phase.
+ - `libMapbox.a` is in your target's *Link Binary With Libraries* build phase.
+
+1. Add the following Cocoa framework dependencies to your target's *Link Binary With Libraries* build phase:
+
+ - `GLKit.framework`
+ - `ImageIO.framework`
+ - `MobileCoreServices.framework`
+ - `QuartzCore.framework`
+ - `SystemConfiguration.framework`
+ - `libc++.dylib`
+ - `libsqlite3.dylib`
+ - `libz.dylib`
+
+1. Add `-ObjC` to your target's "Other Linker Flags" build setting (`OTHER_LDFLAGS`).
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+On OS X, you can also try clearing the Xcode cache with `make clear_xcode_cache`.
