We cannot guarantee that the offline/ambient tile cache (cache.db) will be created in a timely manner, so it's safer to set the backup exclusion key on its containing directory. But, because we placed cache.db in the base of the app's Application Support directory (where backups are expected to be allowed), we need to move cache.db into a directory that we control and can exclude from backups with impunity. This is an amalgam of https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/5578 (directory exclusion) and https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/pull/5585 (refactored URL methods, but without the new database size method). Also: * Prefix mapbox subdirectory with dot, for extra safety * Update changelog entry with new ticket, less speculation
Mapbox GL Native
A library for embedding interactive, customizable vector maps into native applications on multiple platforms. It takes stylesheets that conform to the Mapbox GL Style Specification, applies them to vector tiles that conform to the Mapbox Vector Tile Specification, and renders them using OpenGL. Mapbox GL JS is the WebGL-based counterpart, designed for use on the Web.
The Mapbox GL ecosystem
This repository hosts the cross-platform Mapbox GL Native library, plus convenient SDKs for several platforms. The cross-platform library comes with a GLFW-based demo application for Ubuntu Linux and macOS. The SDKs target the usual languages on their respective platforms:
| SDK | Languages | Build status |
|---|---|---|
| Mapbox GL Native | C++14 |   |
| Mapbox Android SDK | Java |  |
| Mapbox iOS SDK | Objective-C or Swift |  |
| Mapbox macOS SDK | Objective-C or Swift |  |
| node-mapbox-gl-native | Node.js |  |
| Mapbox Qt SDK | C++03 |  |
Additional Mapbox GL Native–based libraries are developed outside of this repository:
- React Native Mapbox GL for React Native applications on iOS and Android
- Telerik’s Mapbox plugin for Apache Cordova Hybrid applications
- Telerik’s Mapbox plugin for NativeScript Hybrid applications
- Xamarin's Mapbox component for Xamarin Hybrid applications
If your platform or hybrid application framework isn’t listed here, consider embedding Mapbox GL JS using the standard Web capabilities on your platform.
