Carthage Installation

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. To integrate the Social Plus UIKit. First, add the following to your Cartfile.

binary "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AmityCo/Amity-Social-Cloud-UIKit-iOS/main/AmityUIKit.json" ~> 2.0

Now you can install Social Plus UIKit into your project by running the following command.

$ carthage update

Cocoapods Installation

If you are using CocoaPods to integrate Social Plus UIKit into your Xcode project. First, open a terminal and run this command to create Podfile.

$ pod init

Then, add the following lines to the Podfile

target 'SampleApp' do
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'AmityUIKit'
end

Now you can install Social Plus UIKit into your project.

$ pod install

If problems happen during pod install step. Please try cleaning Cocoapods cache before running pod install again.
