GeoPackage iOS is a GeoPackage Library Objective-C SDK implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium GeoPackage spec. It is listed as an OGC GeoPackage Implementation by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
The GeoPackage SDK provides the ability to manage GeoPackage files providing read, write, import, export, share, and open support. Open GeoPackage files provide read and write access to features and tiles. Feature support includes Well-Known Binary and iOS Map shape translations. Tile generation supports creation by URL or features. Tile providers supporting GeoPackage format, standard tile API, and feature tile generation.
IMPORTANT -
Be sure your Mac has the autoconf, automake, and glibtoolize utilities. These are required to build
the PROJ dependency. Without them, pod install will fail. The easiest way to get these is to brew install them:
brew install automake
brew install libtool
Include this repository by specifying it in a Podfile using a supported option.
Pull from CocoaPods:
pod 'geopackage-ios', '~> 8.0.6'
If you use use_modular_headers! in your Podfile, disable modular headers for the PROJ dependency:
pod 'geopackage-ios', '~> 8.0.6'
pod 'PROJ', :modular_headers => false
Pull from GitHub via CocoaPods:
pod 'geopackage-ios', :git => 'https://github.com/ngageoint/geopackage-ios.git', :branch => 'master'
pod 'geopackage-ios', :git => 'https://github.com/ngageoint/geopackage-ios.git', :tag => '8.0.6'
Include as local project:
pod 'geopackage-ios', :path => '../geopackage-ios'

The following projects demonstrate usage of geopackage-ios in a host app.
The GeoPackage MapCache app provides an extensive standalone example on how to use the SDK.
The Mobile Awareness GEOINT Environment (MAGE) app provides mobile situational awareness capabilities. It uses the SDK to provide GeoPackage functionality.
