Installation

StarMgsIO SDK library supports Swift Package Manager and Framework. Please link library that suits your application configuration.

Use Swift Package Manager

In order to integrate the StarMgsIO framework into your iOS application, Use Swift Package Manager.

  1. In Xcode, select File menu > Add Packages….
  2. Enter https://github.com/star-micronics/StarMgsIO-SDK-iOS-Swift in the URL input field.
  3. Select StarMgsIO-iOS-SDK and press Add Package button.
    For more information on how to integrate Swift Package, please refer to the following URL.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift_packages/adding_package_dependencies_to_your_app

Use Framework

  1. Open the project file by Xcode.

  2. Select target from “TARGETS” in project setting view.

  3. Select “Build Phases” and click ‘+’ button in “Link Binary with Libraries”.

    setting
  4. Click “Add Other …” button and select StarMgsIO.framework from the file dialog.

Add Objective-C Bridging Header

Development with Swift

StarMgsIO Framework is written in Objective-C. To use them in Swift, you need to add Objective-C Bridging-Header to your project.
1. Select File – New – File… from Xcode menu.
2. Select the Header File , and then click Next .
3. Enter a name and click Create to create an empty header file. In the example shown below, the header file name is “Star_MgsIO_SDK-Bridging-Header.h”.
4. Write the following import lines in the header file created.

    #import <StarMgsIO/StarMgsIO.h>
  1. Specify the path to the created header file at Objective-C Bridging Header of Build Settings.
