anchorUsing CocoaPods

Follow the steps in this article to create a new Xcode workspace that will use CocoaPods to install the SDK.

Assuming you already have an Xcode project, for example, MyWebexApp, here are the steps to integrate the Webex iOS SDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods:

1. Install CocoaPods:

   gem install cocoapods
   

2. Setup CocoaPods:

   pod setup
   

3. Create a new file, Podfile, with following content in your MyWebexApp project directory:

   source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
   

   • Full SDK : WebexSDK

   target 'WebexDemoApp' do
     platform :ios, '15.0'
     pod 'WebexSDK'
   end
   

4. Install the Webex iOS SDK from your MyWebexApp project directory:

   pod install
   

5. Add an entry, GroupIdentifier, to your app’s Info.plist with the value as your app's GroupIdentifier (required so we can retrieve a path to the local data warehouse).

6. Modify the Signing & Capabilities section in your Xcode project as follows:

   

A sample app that implements this SDK with source code can be found at https://github.com/webex/webex-ios-sdk-example.

anchorUsing Swift Package Manager

From WebexSDK 3.17.0 onward, you can integrate the SDK with Swift Package Manager instead of CocoaPods. This requires Xcode 15 or later and an iOS 15 or later deployment target.

1. In Xcode, choose File > Add Package Dependencies and enter the package URL:

   https://github.com/webex/webex-ios-sdk
   

2. Set the dependency rule to Up to Next Major Version, starting at 3.17.0.

3. Add one WebexSDK product to your app target. For messaging-only use, add WebexSDKMessage, which is equivalent to pod 'WebexSDK/Message'. For the full SDK, add WebexSDK. Whichever product you choose, your code always uses import WebexSDK.

4. Complete the same app configuration as the CocoaPods flow: add the GroupIdentifier entry to your app's Info.plist and configure Signing & Capabilities with App Groups.
