rysasahrialBerkeley Mobile iOS is an open‑source campus mobile app source code written in Swift, presented by the ASUC OCTO team. This robust iOS project codebase offers functionality to navigate university life, including Bear Transit schedules, dining hall menus, library hours, campus gym info, and more—all consolidated into a single student app experience.
As part of its GitHub code repository, Berkeley Mobile leverages Firebase Firestore, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Analytics, and Firebase Messaging via CocoaPods. Developers interested in native Swift iOS app development can easily install the required pods:Firebase/Analytics, Firebase/Auth, Firebase/Messaging, Firebase/Firestore, and GoogleSignIn.
Since its launch in 2012, the Berkeley Mobile codebase has accumulated over 20,000 downloads across iOS and Android, and serves roughly 2,000 Monthly Active Users. It continues to evolve, with the latest version (11.6) released May 30, 2025, enhancing the events calendar, improving UI map experiences, and fixing common iOS bug issues.
The source code is hosted under the Educational Community License (ECL) 2.0, ensuring academic‑friendly open‑source usage while alignment with university policy. Developers wishing to incorporate or modify the campus app code should review the license at LICENSE.md. Note that GoogleService‑Info.plist and production API keys are omitted; interested contributors must request access from the OCTO team via.
