Methods of setting up your environment

We can prepare your environment for developing MobileFirst applications in either of two ways: by copying the MobileFirst frameworks to our Xcode project or by installing the files using CocoaPods.

After you have set up your environment, we can start developing your iOS code.

• Set up the Xcode project for iOS manually
  We can add MobileFirst functionality to our existing or new Xcode project. The required framework and library files can be generated by IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation by using IBM MobileFirst Platform Operations Console and added to our Xcode project. The Xcode project must be then configured correctly according to our development goals.
• Add MobileFirst SDK to an iOS Xcode project using CocoaPods
  We can add MobileFirst functionality to our existing or new Xcode project with CocoaPods. Once your project is set up, we can continue developing your code.
