git clone https://github.com/milika/SmartTubeIOS
cd SmartTubeIOS
open SmartTube.xcworkspaceThe project requires an Apple Developer Team ID and a Firebase GoogleService-Info.plist to build.
Copy SmartTubeApp/Config/Secrets.xcconfig.example to SmartTubeApp/Config/Secrets.xcconfig and fill in your Team ID:
DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = YOUR_TEAM_ID
SMARTTUBE_TV_TEAM = YOUR_TEAM_ID
Add your own GoogleService-Info.plist to SmartTubeApp/SmartTubeApp/ (create a free Firebase project at console.firebase.google.com — only Analytics and Crashlytics are used).
