The user should be able to see

• which floor he is on
• which floor his POI is on
• whether or not he needs to change floors to reach his POI

This information could either be determined after scanning a marker or from the user's location sensors.

This includes changing variable / function / class names to descriptive and easily understandable names, adding comments and documentation in general etc.

A lot of dependencies are not up to date and should be updated, if possible.

There is at least one file that determines which permissions the app requires. That file might contain more permissions than are actually used and they should be removed.

Currently, the minimap consists of Google Maps and GeoJSON wich is rendered above the map in order to display where certain rooms etc. are. This setup should be replaced by something that is more accurate (finding exact coordinates for every corner of a room is quite difficult) and easier to maintain.

One possibility would be to include an image of the layout of the user's current location and an icon to mark the users position within that location. Markers and POIs as well as the user himself would have to be positioned within the recognized location

• Include an image of the layout based on the location of the scanned marker
• Update the user's position within his location
• Find a way to standardize layout images and relative locations of rooms etc.

Currently the development branch doesn't build for iOS
There are multiple causes for this, like the dependencies itself as well as the new buld engine from Xcode 10

There are multiple issues:

• App has to be renamed to "ViroSample" in the package.json

• iOS folder with Podfile is missing in repo

  • add folder, then run sh setup-ide.sh --ios
  • go to ios folder and run pod update and pod install

• The current version of react-native has issues with third-party / firebase

• First build fails due to an error with the glog dependency in /node_modules/react-native/third-party since the third-party folder doesn't exist. After first failed build it should be present but might not show up, because Xcode doesn't recognize it

  • Clean Project in Xcode and build again

• Now there will be an error in demangle.h from third-party, because the included config.h could not be found

  • rm -rf node_modules
  • npm cache verify
  • npm i
  • run node_modules/react-native/scripts/ios-install-third-party.sh
    (* now build again in Xcode to get third-party folder)
  • go to node_modules/react-native/third-party/glog-0.3.4/ and run ./configure
  • clean project and build again

• Next error will be libfishhook.a from RCTWebSocket not found

  • Remove and re-add Binary link in Xcode like suggested here: facebook/react-native#19569 (comment)

• Next runner up: Firebase.h not found from RNFirebaseUtil.h

  • close Xcode

I wasn't able to resolve the issue yet.

• Suggested solution doesn't seem to to the trick:
  • go to /ios
    • rm -rf ViroSample.xcworkspace
    • rm Podfile.lock
    • pod install
    • launch Xcode, clean project and build
  • further reading material and possible solution: invertase/react-native-firebase#1016 (comment)

The blue indicator arrows kind of "do what they want" at the moment. Instead, they should help the user figure out, which direction his target lies in.
