Development environment: Apple Mac running macOS Catalina or higher with Xcode 11 or higher
SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS: Download Version 5.1.0 or higher from Trials and Downloads

Step 1: Store SDK files locally

Download the SAP-CP-for-iOS.dmg disk image file. Extracting and double-clicking the file will mount it as a drive. Open the mounted image, and you will see it the following:

Drag the application file SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS Assistant to the local Applications folder.

The Assistant is a macOS app that rapidly generates object-oriented Swift proxy classes for OData services, eliminating exposure to low-level APIs. The Assistant also generates Mobile Services configuration and creates a ready to run Xcode project for iPhone or iPad.

The SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS Assistant will be covered in detail in one of the next tutorials.

If you have used version 1.0 of the SAP Cloud Platform for iOS SDK before, you may have noticed the Frameworks, Tools and Documentation folders are no longer available. These can now all be accessed from the SDK Assistant’s App menu.

It is not necessary to extract the frameworks but if is needed then click Export Frameworks, select a folder where you wish the frameworks to be exported.
