Build

It should just compile with XCode. There are two caveats, though:

• We have our dev certificate setup in the project so you need to remove that or replace it with your own
• The App Store build includes the Sentry crash reporter. The private key is defined in the SentryConfig.h which is not included in the source. There is a SentryConfig_Example.h that you can use for your own Sentry account. Or you can delete all references to it alltogether and remove the import from Tincta-AppStore-Prefix.pch

Support Development

Maintainance, App Store and website hosting is cross-financed from sales of Coding Friends' other apps.
