Integrate JacquardSDK into your Xcode project

Using CocoaPods

To use CocoaPods to integrate Jacquard’s iOS SDK, follow these steps:

  1. If cocoapods is not already installed on your Mac

  2. If your project does not have a Podfile, create one by following below steps:

    • In the terminal, navigate to the directory containing your project’s .xcodeproj file.
    • Run this command: pod init
    • A file named Podfile would be created in the directory.

  3. Edit the Podfile:

    • In this file, add pod 'JacquardSDK' to your project’s app target.

  4. After this change, your Podfile should look similar to the following:

    platform :ios, '13.0'

use_frameworks!

target '<YOUR_APP_TARGET>' do

  pod 'JacquardSDK'

end

  5. In the terminal, run pod install.

    • If this fails, you may need to update your CocoaPods master spec repository checkout.
    • Use the command pod install --repo-update and follow any instructions.

  6. Your project directory now has an .xcworkspace file.

    • If your project is already open in Xcode, close it and open the .xcworkspace file.
    • From now on, you need to use this file to open your project, instead of its .xcodeproj file.

  7. To use the Jacquard API’s import JacquardSDK wherever necessary, 

     // In AppDelegate.swift or any other file where you're using JacquardSDK
 import JacquardSDK
