Compiling Telegram for iOS

Tested only in a simulator.

Compiles the official Telegram iOS Repo on Github as of 9bd7c529b2212b1195d21346bbd7b8c04dfdb8ae.

You'll need an API Key / Hash pair to build a working client.

Clone Telegram repo

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/peter-iakovlev/Telegram

cd into repo

$ cd Telegram

Create stub for build version scripts

$ mkdir tools
$ echo '#!/bin/bash -c true' > tools/bump_build_number.sh
$ echo '#!/bin/bash -c true' > tools/sync_watch_version.sh

Open the Xcode workspace

$ open Telegram.xcworkspace

Right-click the top-most Telegraph workspace and create a new Header File called config.h with this content:

#ifndef config_h
#define config_h

#define SETUP_API_ID(v) v = <YOUR API ID>;
#define SETUP_API_HASH(v) v = @"<YOUR API HASH>";

#endif /* config_h */

Open LegacyDatabase > TGShareContextSignal.m and replace

#import "../../config.h"

with

#import "../config.h"

@dkwiebe I'm not at all familiar with the code base, just needed iOS Telegram in a Simulator. But best of luck to you and your fork!

@kkct83 Are you sure you've entered the correct id, hash pair (i.e. the what you got from https://my.telegram.org/apps?)
The compiler would probably complain if not but are the values of the macros of the correct type?

...
#define SETUP_API_ID(v) v = 12345;
#define SETUP_API_HASH(v) v = @"1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef";
...

Also, you can try to checkout commit 333b5c0ffc16772ff7387ded34aebce78088c6bb @ https://github.com/peter-iakovlev/MtProtoKit submodule, if you have an ARC issues.

Thank you @fabulant for sharing however I still got error when compiling latest Telegram project. It says SSignalKit/SSignalKit.h not found although I already saw these files in my project

@hieubtcoltech I haven't tried it recently. If i find some time I might look into it and update the gist.

I updated the Gist so it compiles again after a fresh clone.
You might need to watch out for the Git submodules (I only just now realized that they exist in the project) when you pull changes for this repo.
