Description

SkyPath iOS SDK enables rapid and seamless integration of SkyPath technology into existing iOS apps. The SDK doesn’t assume anything regarding the app UI, and supplies needed abstraction for SkyPath push and pull server REST API communication, turbulence measurements, and turbulence alerts.

Requirements

• iOS 13.0+
• Xcode 13.0+
• Swift 5.0+

Background Mode

The location can be used while the app is in the background to keep tracking and alert turbulence.
Add Background Modes capability in Signing & Capabilities and enable Location updates mode.
Make sure the Privacy - Location When In Use Usage Description description is provided in the Info.plist of the project.

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit their website. To integrate SkyPath into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'SkyPath', '2.0.0-beta.7'

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code. It’s integrated with the Swift build system to automate the process of downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies.

Use the following to add SkyPath Apple Package Dependency:

https://github.com/Yamasee/skypath-ios-sdk
Dependency Rule: Branch, master // v2.0.0-beta.7

Manually

If you prefer not to use either of the aforementioned dependency managers, you can integrate SkyPath into your project manually.

• Download SkyPathSDK.xcframework
• Copy SkyPathSDK.xcframework to a project directory
• In Xcode project target in General tab, in Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content tap “Add items”, choose a SkyPathSDK.xcframework file. Make sure the added framework “Embed” value is set to Embed & Sign

Demo

Try out the Demo project inside the repo. You will need just a valid SkyPath API key and enter an airline ICAO and user id in the ViewController.
