Using the iOS SDK
On This Page
A mobile SDK is available for integrating payer authentication services into mobile
applications running on the iOS platform.
Downloading and Importing the SDK
Download the
CardinalMobile.framework
file using the cURL program in
this example.Download CardinalMobile.framework
curl -L -u <USER_NAME> :<API_KEY> https://cardinalcommerceprod.jfrog.io/artifactory/ios/<VERSION>-<BUILD_NUMBER>/cardinalmobilesdk.zip -o <LOCAL_FILE_NAME.EXT> #Example: curl -L -u UserName:ApiKey "https://cardinalcommerceprod.jfrog.io/artifactory/ios/2.2.5-1/cardinalmobilesdk.zip" -o cardinalmobile2.2.5-1.zip
Download the
CardinalMobile.xcframework
file using the cURL in this
example.Download CardinalMobile.xcframework
curl -L -u <USER_NAME> :<API_KEY> https://cardinalcommerceprod.jfrog.io/artifactory/ios/<VERSION>-<BUILD_NUMBER>/CardinalMobileiOSXC.zip -o <LOCAL_FILE_NAME.EXT> #Example: curl -L -u UserName:ApiKey "https://cardinalcommerceprod.jfrog.io/artifactory/ios/2.2.5-1/CardinalMobileiOSXC.zip" -o cardinalmobile2.2.5-1.zip
In your XCode project, drag the
CardinalMobile.framework
file into the Frameworks group in
your Xcode Project. (Create the group if it does not already exist.) In the import
dialog box, check the box to Copy items into the destinations group folder (or
Destination: Copy items if needed). The iOS SDK files are now available for linking
in your project.Configuring Your Build Environment
Follow these to configure your build environment:
- Open Xcode, and in the source list to the left of the main editor area, choose your project.
- Under the Targets section, select your application and open theGeneraltab.
- Expand the Embedded Binaries section and click the small plus (+) at the bottom of the list.
- From the list, add theCardinalMobile.frameworkfile.
Configuring the iOS SDK
Use
CardinalSession new
to create a new instance of the cardinal
object. Use the default configuration options. Study these examples to complete the
iOS SDK configuration. For more details on configuration options, refer to the table after the
examples.
CardinalSession new (iOS SDK - Objective-C)
#import <CardinalMobile/CardinalMobile.h> CardinalSession *session; //Setup can be called in viewDidLoad - (void)setupCardinalSession { session = [CardinalSession new]; CardinalSessionConfiguration *config = [CardinalSessionConfiguration new]; config.deploymentEnvironment = CardinalSessionEnvironmentProduction; config.timeout = CardinalSessionTimeoutStandard; config.uiType = CardinalSessionUITypeBoth; UiCustomization *yourCustomUi = [[UiCustomization alloc] init]; //Set various customizations here. See "iOS UI Customization" documentation for detail. config.uiCustomization = yourCustomUi; CardinalSessionRenderTypeArray *renderType = [[CardinalSessionRenderTypeArray alloc] initWithObjects: CardinalSessionRenderTypeOTP, CardinalSessionRenderTypeHTML, nil]; config.renderType = renderType; config.enableQuickAuth = false; [session configure:config]; }
CardinalSession new (iOS SDK - Swift)
import CardinalMobile var session : CardinalSession! //Setup can be called in viewDidLoad func setupCardinalSession{ session = CardinalSession() var config = CardinalSessionConfiguration() config.deploymentEnvironment = .production config.timeout = 8000 config.uiType = .both let yourCustomUi = UiCustomization() //Set various customizations here. See "iOS UI Customization" documentation for detail. config.uiCustomization = yourCustomUi config.renderType = [CardinalSessionRenderTypeOTP, CardinalSessionRenderTypeHTML] config.enableQuickAuth = true session.configure(config) }
