Building and Running

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

CocoaPods version 1.3.1 or newer is recommended to build Pusher Beams.

To integrate Pusher Beams into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!

# Replace `<Your Target Name>` with your app's target name.
target '<Your Target Name>' do
    pod 'PushNotifications', '~> 4.0.0'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks.

Carthage version 0.26.2 or newer is recommended to build Pusher Beams.

You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

To integrate Pusher Beams into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

github "pusher/push-notifications-swift"

Continue following the steps below depending on the platform that you're building the dependency for:

• If you're building for OS X, follow this guide.
• If you're building for iOS, tvOS, or watchOS, follow this guide.

Swift Package Manager

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

Manual Xcode integration

To integrate Pusher Beams into your Xcode project using Swift Package Manager, in your Xcode choose File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency... and provide the following URL:

https://github.com/pusher/push-notifications-swift

Swift Package Manager dependency

To add Pusher Beams as a dependency of your own package use the follwing code:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/pusher/push-notifications-swift.git", from: "4.0.0")
]

Migrating from 2.x.x

We now require you to start beams before you can use the library, for example to register any interests. This means the following code would no longer work and log an error to the console:

try! PushNotifications.shared.addDeviceInterest("donuts")
PushNotifications.shared.start("YOUR_INSTANCE_ID")

You now need to replace it with the following:

PushNotifications.shared.start("YOUR_INSTANCE_ID")
try! PushNotifications.shared.addDeviceInterest("donuts")

We recommend start is always called in the application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions callback. Note that you can still control when you show the request for push notification prompt, start does not call this prompt.
