Develop native applications for iOS

After we have created the native API application in MobileFirst Studio and added the second project from Xcode IDE, you edit the application descriptor and client property files, and then copy the files to the appropriate project. To work with Apple Swift language, you create a Swift project.

• Application descriptor of native API applications for iOS
  In the application descriptor, you define various aspects of the native API application for iOS.

• Client property file for iOS
  This file defines the client-side properties so that your native app uses the MobileFirst native API for iOS.

• Copy files of native API applications for iOS
  To use the MobileFirst native API for iOS in the native application, copy the library and the client property file of the native API application into the project of the native app for iOS.

• Create a Swift project
  Because Apple Swift is compatible with Objective-C, we can use the MobileFirst API from within an iOS Swift project.
