What is it?

This repository contains the source code for the official WordPress app for iOS, maintained by Automattic. It is written primarily in Swift, with some Objective-C, and is intended for developers who want to compile the app themselves, contribute changes, or log into WordPress.com from a development build.

Setup centers on a command-line workflow: install the Xcode version and Ruby version specified in the repository, run dependency setup with Rake, and create a WordPress.com OAuth application to obtain a client ID and secret. Once credentials are configured, the project opens in Xcode as a workspace and can run on a simulator or a device.

The repository also links to contributing guidelines, development practice docs, and the WordPress Mobile handbook. Security issues are directed to the HackerOne program rather than public issues.
