It is based on MatrixKit (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-kit) and MatrixSDK (https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-ios-sdk).

You can build the app from source as per below:

Build instructions
==================

Before opening the Element Xcode workspace, you need to build it with the
CocoaPods command::

        $ cd Riot
        $ bundle install
        $ bundle exec pod install

This will load all dependencies for the Element source code, including MatrixKit
and MatrixSDK.  You will need an recent and updated (``pod setup``) install of
CocoaPods.

Then, open ``Riot.xcworkspace`` with Xcode

        $ open Riot.xcworkspace

Developing
==========

Uncomment the right definitions of ``$matrixKitVersion`` for the version you want to develop and build against. For example, if you are trying to build the develop branch, uncomment ``$matrixKitVersion = 'develop'`` and make sure the more specific MatrixKit version is commented out. Once you are done editing the ``Podfile``, run ``pod install``.

You may need to change the bundle identifier and app group identifier to be unique to get Xcode to build the app. Make sure to change the application group identifier everywhere by running a search for ``group.im.vector`` and changing every spot that identifier is used to your new identifier.
