Tutorial: Set up the iOS project in XCode when using CraftAR SDKs

Our SDKs are distributed as a .framework that you can directly drag into your project. It has some dependencies on frameworks/libraries that have to be linked and some compilation settings to be set.

Cloud Image Recognition SDK

1. Set the following Framework dependencies:

• AVFoundation
• CoreMedia
• SystemConfiguration
• MobileCoreServices

2. Import the SDK:

• Drag the CraftARCloudImageRecognitionSDK.framework (framework library with the CraftAR SDK) to your Project (Link with libraries)
• Drag the Pods.framework to your Project (Link with libraries).

3. Set the following Project Settings:

• Set the deployment target to iOS 8.0 or greater.
• In the Build settings of your project add -ObjC to the Linker Flags

iOS Augmented Reality SDK

1. Set the following Framework dependencies:

• AVFoundation
• CoreMedia
• SystemConfiguration
• MobileCoreServices
• QuartzCore
• AudioToolbox
• CoreLocation
• libc++
• libz

2. Import the SDK:

• CraftAR Augmented Reality SDK v4 +
  • Drag the CraftARSDKAugmentedRealitySDK.framework to your Project (Link with libraries)
  • Drag the CraftARResourcesAR.bundle to the Copy bundle resources build phase.
  • Drag the Pods.framework to your Project (Link with libraries).

3. Set the following Project Settings:

• Set the deployment target to iOS 8.0 or greater.
• In the Packaging section set the Compress PNG files option to No.
• In the Build settings of your project add -ObjC to the Linker Flags

On-Device Image Recognition SDK

1. Set the following Framework dependencies:

• AVFoundation
• CoreMedia
• CoreFoundation
• SystemConfiguration
• MobileCoreServices
• libc++
• libz

2. Import the SDK:

• Drag the CraftAROnDeviceImageRecognitionSDK.framework (framework library with the CraftAR SDK) to your Project (Link Binary With Libraries)
• Drag the CraftARResourcesODIR.bundle (bundle resources for the SDK) to the Copy bundle resources build phase.
• Drag the Pods.framework to your Project (Link with libraries).

3. Set the following Project Settings:

• In the Build settings of your project add -ObjC to the Linker Flags
• Set the deployment target to iOS 8.0 or greater.

CraftAR Pro SDK

1. Set the following Framework dependencies:

• AVFoundation
• CoreMedia
• CoreFoundation
• SystemConfiguration
• MobileCoreServices
• QuartzCore
• AudioToolbox
• CoreLocation
• libc++
• libz

2. Import the SDK:

• Drag the CraftARProSDK.framework (framework library with the CraftAR SDK) to your Project (Link Binary With Libraries)
• Drag the CraftARResourcesODIR.bundle (bundle resources for the SDK) to the Copy bundle resources build phase.
• Drag the CraftARResourcesAR.bundle to the Copy bundle resources build phase.
• Drag the Pods.framework to your Project (Link with libraries).

3. Set the following Project Settings:

• In the Build settings of your project add -ObjC to the Linker Flags
• Set the deployment target to iOS 8.0 or greater.

Pods Framework

The Pods.framework includes the Network library used by the CraftARSDK. We provide a compiled version from the AFNetworking project, version 3.1.0​

If you are using cocoa pods in your project, you can remove the framework and add the dependencies to your Podfile this is how ours looks like the following:
