Box iOS SDK

This SDK makes it easy to use Box's Content API in your iOS projects.

Developer Setup

• Ensure you have the latest version of Xcode installed.
• We encourage you to use [Carthage] (https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#installing-carthage) to manage dependencies. Minimal supported version for Carthage is 0.22.0.

Quickstart

Step 1: Add to your Cartfile

github "box/box-ios-sdk"

Step 2: Update

carthage update --platform iOS

Step 3: Drag the built framework from Carthage/Build/iOS into your project. For more detailed instructions please see the official documentation for Carthage (https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#if-youre-building-for-ios-tvos-or-watchos).

Step 4: Import

@import BoxContentSDK;

Step 5: Set the Box Client ID and Client Secret that you obtain from creating your app.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
  // The UIApplicationDelegate is a good place to do this.
  [BOXContentClient setClientID:@"your-client-id" clientSecret:@"your-client-secret"];
}

Step 6: Authenticate a User

// This will present the necessary UI for a user to authenticate into Box
[[BOXContentClient defaultClient] authenticateWithCompletionBlock:^(BOXUser *user, NSError *error) {
  if (error == nil) {
    NSLog(@"Logged in user: %@", user.login);
  }
} cancelBlock:nil];

Sample App

A sample app can be found in the BoxContentSDKSampleApp folder. The sample app demonstrates how to authenticate a user, and manage the user's files and folders.

To execute the sample app: Step 1: Open Workspace

open BoxContentSDKSampleApp.xcworkspace

Tests

Tests can be found in the 'BoxContentSDKTests' target. Use Xcode to execute the tests. Travis CI will also execute tests for pull requests and pushes to the repository.
