Installation

The Pinwheel iOS SDK is available via Swift Package Manager and CocoaPods. We recommend pinning to a specific version, thereby giving you explicit control over upgrades.

You can find the source code for the iOS SDK here.

Swift Package Manager

Xcode UI:

📘

Note

Example below uses version 2.3.1 but please use the latest available version listed here.

From either the File menu in XCode, or the Swift Packages section of the project settings, use the XCode UI to add: https://github.com/underdog-tech/pinwheel-ios-sdk as a package dependency, and pin the version.

Package.swift

Add .package(url: "https://github.com/underdog-tech/pinwheel-ios-sdk", .exact("3.0.2")) to your dependencies:

dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/underdog-tech/pinwheel-ios-sdk", .exact("3.0.2"))
],

CocoaPods

To install the SDK with CocoaPods, add PinwheelSDK as one of your target dependencies in your Podfile:

use_frameworks!

target 'MyApp' do
    pod 'PinwheelSDK', '3.0.2'
end

Please be sure to run pod update and use pod install --repo-update to ensure you have the most recent version of the SDK installed.

Usage

The iOS SDK's main interface is a UIViewController that you can integrate into your app as you would any UIViewController, e.g., presented as a modal, or used with a UINavigationController. Additionally, you can implement the PinwheelDelegate protocol to receive events throughout the PinwheelViewController's lifecycle.

PinwheelViewController

The PinwheelViewController is a UIViewController that you can present as a modal.

import PinwheelSDK

let pinwheelVC = PinwheelViewController(token: linkToken, delegate: self)
self.present(pinwheelVC!, animated: true)

PinwheelDelegate

The PinwheelDelegate protocol is set up such that every event goes through the onEvent(name: event:) handler, and convenience callback methods are provided for the .exit, .success, .login, and .error events. Note that the onEvent(name: event:) handler will still be called alongside the convenience methods.

You can see a full descriptions of props and optional callbacks here. Callback types can be found in Github.

Example Project

To run the example project, clone the repo, and run pod install from the Example directory first. Then, add your API secret to the top of the LinkToken.swift file. In your app, you should fetch the Link token from your server.
