IBM Cloud Mobile services Dependency Management

The IBM Cloud Mobile services SDK uses CocoaPods to manage and configure dependencies.

You can install CocoaPods using the following command:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

If the CocoaPods repository is not configured, run the following command:

$ pod setup

For this starter, a pre-configured Podfile has been included. To download and install the required dependencies, run the following command in your project directory:

$ pod install

Open the Xcode workspace: {APP_Name}.xcworkspace. Continue to open the .xcworkspace file as it contains all the dependencies and configurations.

If you run into any issues during the pod install, it is recommended to run a pod update by using the following commands:

$ pod update
$ pod install

Run

Click Product > Run to start the app in Xcode. You will see a screen like this:

The application has built in integration points with the Push Notifications and AppID services.
