Please familiarize yourself with the install process.
Ensure that existing pull requests and issues don’t already cover your contribution or question.
Pull requests are gladly accepted. If there are any changes that developers using one of the GL SDKs should be aware of, please update the master section of the relevant changelog(s):

Prefix your commit messages with the platform(s) your changes affect: [ios] or [macos].

Github issue labels

Our labeling system is:

minimalistic: Labels’ usefulness are inversely proportional to how many we have.
objective: Labels should be objective enough that any two people would agree on a labeling decision.
useful: Labels should track state or capture semantic meaning that would otherwise be hard to search for.

We’ve color-coded our labels by facet to make them easier to use:

type (blue)
platform (black)
actionable status (red)
non-actionable status (grey)
importance / urgency (green)
topic / project / misc (yellow)
