SGAREnvironment v0.3.8

Note: This codebase is legacy and unsupported. If you have any questions, email [email protected].

ABSTRACT

A pluggable AR (Augmented Reality) environment that can be used by any MKAnnotation.

USAGE

Note: this library is being converted to a framework, which should simplify the following steps somewhat.

1. Run ./build_dist
2. Add /path/to/SGAREnvironment-v*../Headers to the "Header Search Paths" setting.
3. Add /path/to/SGAREnvironment-v*../$(PLATFORM_NAME) to "Library Search Paths" setting.
4. Add the following frameworks: OpenGLES, MapKit, CoreLocation, CoreGraphics, QuartzCore, UIKit, AVFoundation and Foundation.
5. Go to your target's info and add "-all_load -ObjC -l SGAREnvironment" to the "Other Linker Flags" setting under the Build tag. This will inform the linker to load the categories from the static library.
6. Import SGAREnvironment.h in your pre-compiled header file or wherever you plan on accessing the library.

Frameworks:

• CoreLocation

• The prefix file was in charge of importing important frameworks. We need to move those imports into the header files because the prefix might not be the same in other projects.

Version 0.3.7

• Fixed an issue where the bearing wasn't being calculated properly for certain earth quadrants

Version 0.3.6

• Added support for iOS4

Version 0.3.5

• Refactored and polished up some of the code in order to move the project into a public repository

Version 0.3.4

• Touch events will now return the nearest SGAnnotationView in the AR environment

Version 0.3.3

• Fixed an issue where touch events weren't being triggered for SGAnnotationViews within the AR environment

Version 0.3.2

• Prefixed all methods in the SGARResponder with AR.

Version 0.3.1

• Restructured project.

Version 0.3.0

• Upgraded SGLocationService to use version 0.1 of the SimpleGeo API
• Models have been updated to reflect the new GeoJSON format returned from SimpleGeo queries
