Getting Started iOS

→Return to Overview

Prerequisites

• You need be a registered iPhone developer (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/program/)
• If you are new to iPhone development, use the nice assistant to receive your development certificates and to register your iPhone (http://developer.apple.com/iphone/manage/overview/index.action)
• Latest Apple iOS SDK (includes Xcode) on MacOS.
• Knowledge of iOS Development

Getting Started

1. Extract the metaioMobileSDK folder from the *.DMG File to your hard drive.
2. Launch Demo.xcodeproj from the previously extracted metaioMobileSDK/SDK_iOS/Example folder.
3. Build the example and install it onto your iOS device.
4. Print out the target images from Examples/Printouts

Integrating documentation into Xcode

The mobileSDK documentation can be integrated into Xcode, so that you can make use of the quick help function:

Here are the steps to integrate the documentation:

• Open Xcode settings and click on Downloads / Documentation
• Click on the + icon on the bottom and enter the following url:
  
  http://iphone.ar-live.de/doc/mobileSDK.atom (for SDK 3.0)
  http://iphone.ar-live.de/doc/mobileSDK3.1.atom (for SDK 3.1)
  
  
  
  After this you will get a new entry in the list:
  
• After clicking 'Install' the documentation will be downloaded and is available after restarting Xcode.

General remarks

• As the metaioMobileSDK framework is a static C++ library, any files that import it have to be compiled as Obj-C++. This is done automatically by renaming the file to *.mm. Alternatively you can change the compilation settings of your XCode project to compile the entire source code as Obj-C++.
• Use the latest iOS SDK (currently iOS 5) to build your applications.
