Note: NetNewsWire’s Help menu has a bunch of these links, so you don’t have to remember to come back to this page.

Here’sHow to Support NetNewsWire. Spoiler: don’t send money. :)

Join the Slack group to talk with other NetNewsWire users — and to help out, if you’d like to, by testing, coding, writing, providing feedback, or just helping us think things through. Everybody is welcome and encouraged to join.

Every community member is expected to abide by thecode of conduct which is included in theContributing page.

See theContributing page for our process. It’s pretty straightforward.

You can build and test NetNewsWire without a paid developer account.

git clone https://github.com/Ranchero-Software/NetNewsWire.git

You can locally override the Xcode settings for code signingby creating aDeveloperSettings.xcconfig file locally at the appropriate path.This allows for a pristine project with code signing set up with the appropriatedeveloper ID and certificates, and for developer to be able to have local settingswithout needing to check in anything into source control.

You can do this in one of two ways: using the includedsetup.sh script or by creating the folder structure and file manually.

• Open Terminal andcd into the NetNewsWire directory.
• Run this command to ensure you have execution rights for the script:chmod +x setup.sh
• Execute the script with the following command:./setup.sh and complete the answers.

Make a directorySharedXcodeSettings next to where you have this repository.

The directory structure is:

aDirectory/  SharedXcodeSettings/    DeveloperSettings.xcconfig  NetNewsWire/    NetNewsWire.xcworkspace

Example:

If your NetNewsWire Xcode project file is at:/Users/Shared/git/NetNewsWire/NetNewsWire.xcodeproj

Create yourDeveloperSettings.xcconfig file at/Users/Shared/git/SharedXcodeSettings/DeveloperSettings.xcconfig

Then create a plain text file in it:SharedXcodeSettings/DeveloperSettings.xcconfig andgive it the contents:

CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = Mac DeveloperDEVELOPMENT_TEAM = <Your Team ID>CODE_SIGN_STYLE = AutomaticORGANIZATION_IDENTIFIER = <Your Domain Name Reversed>DEVELOPER_ENTITLEMENTS = -devPROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER =

SetDEVELOPMENT_TEAM to your Apple supplied development team. You can use KeychainAccess tofind your development team ID.SetORGANIZATION_IDENTIFIER to a reversed domain name that you control or have made up.Note thatPROVISIONING_PROFILE_SPECIFIER should not have a value associated with it.

You can now open theNetNewsWire.xccodeproj in Xcode.

Now you should be able to build without code signing errors and without modifyingthe NetNewsWire Xcode project. This is a special build of NetNewsWire with somefunctionality disabled. This is because we have API keys that can't be stored in therepository or shared between developers. Certain account types, like Feedly, aren'tenabled and the Reader View isn't enabled because of this.

If you have any problems, we will help you out in Slack (see above).
