If you've tried the one line pod MapBox you know that your app won't compile. Here's how to fix this.

---

The problem and the fix

Using motion-cocoapods and cocoapods you'd expect that pod 'MapBox' would work. If you add these two lines after your app.pods do ... block, you're good to go:

app.libs.delete_if { |lib| lib =~ /Proj4/ }
app.vendor_project('vendor/Pods/MapBox/Proj4', :static, products: ['libProj4.a'])

You might need to remove the vendor and build directories before it compiles. Especially if you already tried rake and had it blow up.

(There's a complete sample Rakefile and Gemfile at the end of this page)

Longer version: Project setup

1. To try this out in a new project, run motion create --template=ios someappname
2. Make sure you have a Gemfile referencing cocoapods and motion-cocoapods
3. Run bundle install at the command line
4. Make sure your Rakefile has at least everything in the sample rakefile at the end of this page

Making a map

To test it out you need to make a new UIViewController (which displays a map):

class MapViewController < UIViewController
    def viewDidLoad
        super

        tiles = RMMapBoxSource.alloc.initWithMapID "examples.map-z2effxa8"
        map = RMMapView.alloc.initWithFrame(UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds,andTilesource:tiles)
        map.zoom = 14
        map.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth
        map.delegate=self
        self.view.addSubview(map)

        center_co = CLLocationCoordinate2D.new(40.7143528,-74.00597309999999)
        map.setCenterCoordinate(center_co,animated:true)

    end
end

And change your app_delegate.rb file to display the controller:

class AppDelegate
  def application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions)
    @window = UIWindow.alloc.initWithFrame(UIScreen.mainScreen.bounds)

    mvc = MapViewController.alloc.init

    @window.rootViewController = mvc
    @window.makeKeyAndVisible
    true
  end
end

Run rake and you're done!

Bonus user location tracking in one line

Add this to your controller

map.userTrackingMode = 1

And get a location tracker on your map:

Notes

• Sometimes map.setCenterCoordinate(CLLocationCoordinate2D.new(40.7143528,-74.00597309999999),animated:true) crashes the REPL, but always works fine in .rb files.
• In app_delegate.rb, you can replace @window with $window, but window will not work.
• You don't need map.delegate=self in your controller to simply show a map, but you'll need to set this to work with markers and other map objects.
• Are the classes from the pod you added not resolving? Removing the vendor and build directories and re-running rake usually fixes this.

Sample Rakefile

$:.unshift("/Library/RubyMotion/lib")
require 'motion/project/template/ios'
Bundler.require

Motion::Project::App.setup do |app|

     app.pods do
         pod 'MapBox'
     end
     app.libs.delete_if { |lib| lib =~ /Proj4/ }
     app.vendor_project('vendor/Pods/MapBox/Proj4', :static, products: ['libProj4.a'])


    #Optional--will come in handy if you do a lot of mapping/geolocation.
    app.frameworks += ["QuartzCore","CoreLocation","CoreMedia","MapKit"]
     app.pods do
         pod 'NSData+Base64'
     end
end
