How to reproduce the build

Requires macOS with Xcode 17.0 or later, iOS 17.0+ deployment target.

Option 1 — apply patches on top of upstream (recommended, most transparent):

git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/ios.git
cd ios
git checkout ee4a0f6ca08a3c7be638f897fe52a4837b2b6d10
# download all *.patch files from this page's patches/ directory, then:
for p in /path/to/patches/*.patch; do git am "$p"; done

open Nextcloud.xcodeproj
# Xcode: select "EstateGo" scheme → Product → Run or Archive

Option 2 — overlay modified files (faster, less granular history):

git clone https://github.com/nextcloud/ios.git
cd ios
git checkout ee4a0f6ca08a3c7be638f897fe52a4837b2b6d10
tar -xzf modified-files-79e3f607a.tar.gz# the tarball replaces upstream files in-place with EstateGo versions

open Nextcloud.xcodeproj

Option 3 — clone the GitLab mirror directly (one command, full history):

git clone https://git.bit-group.co/bit-group/estatego/mobile/estatego-core-ios.git
cd estatego-core-ios
git checkout estatego-branding

What EstateGo changed vs. upstream

Brand identity: app icon, login logo, launch screen, onboarding illustrations, copyright/source strings
Bundle identifiers migrated to de.plmedia.EstateGo.*
Single-tenant UX: removed sign-up-with-provider and host-your-own flows; pinned to app.estatego.de
Localisation: brand-text sweep across 107 languages, UTF-16 → UTF-8 normalisation
Code identifiers: dispatch queue labels, BGTaskScheduler IDs, app group identifiers renamed from com.nextcloud.* / it.twsweb.Crypto-Cloud to de.plmedia.EstateGo.*
Push notifications disabled for initial release (entitlements + background mode); code paths remain in place for re-activation
Crypto export compliance: standardised on HTTPS/TLS-only declaration
Marketing version aligned to EstateGo release line (1.0.1)
Minor build and UI fixes

No upstream cryptography or network-protocol code has been modified.
