iOS CraftAR Pro SDK

  • Updated

iOS CraftAR Pro SDK

The CraftAR Pro SDK combines all native mobile CraftAR SDKs for iOS in one convenient SDK to give you greater flexibility when developing apps with Image Recognition and Augmented Reality capabilities.

It takes advantage of the Cloud Image Recognition SDK for very large collections, the On-Device Image Recognition SDK for offline scanning, extended search option, and the Augmented Reality SDK to seamlessly render 3D models, videos and buttons in your apps.

We want to make development easy for you. To integrate CraftAR into your iOS app, we provide the iOS CraftAR Pro SDK as an iOS Framework that you can directly import into your XCode project.

This page gives you pointers to the Tutorials you should follow to integrate this SDK; the documentation of the Classes; how to run the Examples; the Requirements of your system to use this SDK, and finally, Release Notes of our continuous updates.

How to get started with the SDK

In order to get started with the SDK, we recommend you to run the examples included in the distribution that you can download upon request (see button above). The examples are located in the Examples directory as an xCode Project.

Running the examples

The SDK is already linked in the project, available inside the distribution package. You can open it and just run the project from your device (note that running inside the Simulator is not available with the SDK).

 

Follow this tutorial for instructions on how to integrate the iOS CraftAR Pro SDK into your xCode projects.

Requirements

To integrate the SDK into your native app, you will need Xcode 7 or newer, and at least iOS 8.0.

Version 1.3

October 25, 2016
The first version of the iOS CraftAR Pro SDK combines the functionalities of all CraftAR SDKs for iOS in one single SDK. With it, you can create applications that can use:

  • On-device image recognition
  • Extended search (on-device IR for common items + cloud IR for long tail items)
  • Augmented reality (from cloud or on-device items)
