+# Signaling SDK for iOS/macOS reference app
+
+This app demonstrates the using [Agora's Signaling SDK](https://docs-beta.agora.io/en/signaling/get-started/get-started-sdk?platform=ios) for real-time communication in a SwiftUI app.
+
+This example app is a robust and comprehensive documentation reference app for iOS and macOS, designed to enhance your productivity and understanding. It's built to be flexible, easily extensible, and beginner-friendly.
+
+To understand the contents better, you can go to [Agora's Documentation](https://docs.agora.io), which explains each example in more detail.

+## Samples
+
+You'll find numerous examples illustrating the functionality and features of this reference app in the root directory. Each example is self-contained in its own directory, providing an easy way to understand how to use the app. For more information about each example, see the README file within its directory.

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before getting started with this example app, please ensure you have the following software installed on your machine:
+
+- Xcode 14.0 or later.
+- Swift 5.8 or later.
+
+## Run this project
+
+1. **Clone the repository**
+
+    To clone the repository to your local machine, open Terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. Then, use the following command:
+
+    ```sh
+    git clone https://github.com/AgoraIO/signaling-sdk-samples-ios.git
+    ```
+
+2. **Open the project**
+
+   Navigate to [Example-App](Example-App), and open [Example-App.xcodeproj](Example-App/Example-App.xcodeproj).
+
+   > All dependencies are installed with Swift Package Manager, so will be fetched automatically by Xcode.
+
+3. **Update Signing**
+
+   As with any Xcode project, head to the target, "Signing & Capabilities", and add your team, and modify the bundle identifier to make it unique.
+
+4.  **Modify the project configuration**
+
+   The app loads connection parameters from the [`config.json`](./agora-manager/config.json) file. Ensure that the 
+   file is populated with the required parameter values before running the application.
+
+    - `uid`: The user ID associated with the application, or identifierForVendor to take the device ID.
+    - `appId`: (Required) The unique ID for the application obtained from [Agora Console](https://console.agora.io). 
+    - `channelName`: The default name of the channel to join.
+    - `token`: A token generated for `uid`. You generate a temporary token using the [Agora token builder](https://agora-token-generator-demo.vercel.app/).
+    - `tokenUrl`: The URL for the token generator. See [Secure authentication with tokens](./authentication-workflow) for information on how to set up a token server.
+
+   If a valid `tokenUrl` is provided, all samples use the token server to obtain a token except the **SDK quickstart** project that uses the `token`. If a `tokenUrl` is not specified, all samples except **Secure authentication with tokens** use the `token` from `config.json`.
+
+5. **Build and run the project**
+
+   To build and run the project, use the build button (Cmd+R) in Xcode. Select your preferred device/simulator as the scheme.
