The MercadoPago iOS SDK make it easy to collect your users' credit card details inside your iOS app. By creating tokens, MercadoPago handles the bulk of PCI compliance by preventing sensitive card data from hitting your server.
There are two ways to add MercadoPago to your project:
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C and Swift, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like MercadoPagoSDK 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
sudoto install the cocoapods gem.
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'
use_frameworks!
platform :ios, '8.0'
pod 'MercadoPagoSDK', '~> WORKSHOP'
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.
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
- Open the MercadoPagoSDK folder, and drag MercadoPagoSDK.xcodeproj into the file navigator of your app project.
- In Xcode, navigate to the target configuration window by clicking on the blue project icon, and selecting the application target under the "Targets" heading in the sidebar.
- Ensure that the deployment target of MercadoPagoSDK.framework matches that of the application target.
- In the tab bar at the top of that window, open the "Build Phases" panel.
- Expand the "Target Dependencies" group, and add MercadoPagoSDK.framework.
- Click on the + button at the top left of the panel and select "New Copy Files Phase". Rename this new phase to "Copy Frameworks", set the "Destination" to "Frameworks", and add MercadoPagoSDK.framework.
