Getting started

This is a guide to help developers get up to speed with AFNetworking. It is geared primarily towards anyone who is new to Mac or iOS development, or has not worked extensively with 3rd-party libraries before.

The recommended approach for installing JaspersoftSDK for building application is via the CocoaPods package manager, as it provides flexible dependency management and dead simple installation. For best results, it is recommended that you install via CocoaPods >= 0.19.1g and Git >= 1.8.0.

Step 1: Download CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like JaspersoftSDK in your projects.

CocoaPods is distributed as a ruby gem, and is installed by running the following commands in Terminal.app:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup

Depending on your Ruby installation, you may not have to run as sudo to install the cocoapods gem.

Step 2: Create a Podfile

Project dependencies to be managed by CocoaPods are specified in a file called Podfile. Create this file in the same directory as your Xcode project (.xcodeproj) file:

$ touch Podfile
$ open -a Xcode Podfile

You just created the pod file and opened it using Xcode! Ready to add some content to the empty pod file?

Copy and paste the following lines into the TextEdit window: source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git' platform :ios, '7.0' pod 'JaspersoftSDK', :git => 'https://github.com/Jaspersoft/js-ios-sdk.git', :tag => '2.0.1'

You shouldn’t use TextEdit to edit the pod file because TextEdit likes to replace standard quotes with more graphically appealing quotes. This can cause CocoaPods to get confused and display errors, so it’s best to just use Xcode or another programming text editor.

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Now you can install the dependencies in your project:

$ pod install

From now on, be sure to always open the generated Xcode workspace (.xcworkspace) instead of the project file when building your project:

$ open <YourProjectName>.xcworkspace

If you run into any issues with a CocoaPods based installation out of the box the most likely cause is that project or target contains configuration that is overriding the settings provided via CocoaPods. CocoaPods works by adding a .xcconfig file that contains configuration aggregated from the Pods you have installed. If you augment these configuration settings within your target, you have to be sure to include the $(inherited) value to pick up the values provided by CocoaPods. Please be check the following settings for overridden configuration and add the $(inherited) if necessary:

1. OTHER_LDFLAGS
2. HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS

Step 4: Dive In!

At this point, everything's in place for you to start using JaspersoftSDK. Just #import the headers for the classes you need and get to it!
