The iOS app portion of MapTheThings, the global coverage map for The Things Network (TTN).
- Map view - Shows local map with latest sample data
- Lighter green: You asked the node to send a packet.
- Darker green: Node confirmed the app packet was sent successfully. (Whether it reached a gateway, only the server knows.)
- Yellow: You sent a packet. (And you’re using an older version node that doesn’t ack packets, so we don’t know whether the node thinks it worked or not.)
- Red: Packet was not sent - got an error from LoRa radio module.
- Blue: Server reports successful transmissions received.
- Gray: Server reports attempted transmissions here, but none received from TTN.
- Devices view
- List shows all Bluetooth devices discovered nearby. A green dot appears next to each currently connected device.
- Choose a device to see the device details
- Touch the Connect button to connect to the node
- Touch the Get OTAA button to load provisioning keys.
- Packets will be generated and sent automatically as new GPS locations arrive.
- Touch Resend to resend the last packet.
- Touch Send Test to send a packet for lat/lon 10.0/10.0
- View debug messages in the text field at the bottom of the screen.
- Messages view
- Enter a phone number

- We use Cocoapods. You'll need to install it and run
pod installto bring in all the dependencies. - We are now using the latest version of Swift.
- Fake a Device - Set FakeDevice=1 in
Info.plistto fake a device when you don't have a hardware node. The app will act like it has a MapTheThings node to talk to. Set it to a bigger number to debug behavior when there are more nodes around. - Test Host - Use a test host server by setting TestHost="localhost:3000" in
Info.plist. - Enable Fabric by defining FABRIC_API_KEY=xyz and FABRIC_BUILD_SECRET=abc in
private.env.
- Frank - Focused on working example of Active Collection. Bluetooth communication. Sync GPS samples with server.
- Forrest - Putting burgeoning Swift skills to work.
- @masterswift - Messaging UI.
Forrest would like to thank
- Jordan @CocoaPods with MKCoordinateSpanMake and re-centering
- Mike @Cocoapods with formatting floats
