Installation with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Xcode, which automates and simplifies the process of using third-party libraries, like Taboola, in your projects.

Step 1: Install CocoaPods with the following command:

$ gem install cocoapods

Step 2: Edit the Podfile
To integrate Taboola into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'TaboolaSDK', '2.8.0'

use_frameworks!
pod 'TaboolaSDK', '2.8.0'

Step 3: Run pod install.

$ pod install

Installation with Carthage

Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager that builds your dependencies and provides you with binary frameworks. This requires a minimum deployment target of iOS 8.0.

Step 1: You can install Carthage with Homebrew using the following command:

$ brew update
$ brew install carthage

Step 2: To integrate Taboola into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile:

binary "https://cdn.taboola.com/taboola-mobile-sdk/ios/carthage/TaboolaSDK.json" == 2.8.0

Step 3: Run "carthage update" to build the framework, and drag the built TaboolaFramework.framework into your Xcode project.

Step 4: On your application target Build Phases settings tab, click the + icon and select New Run Script Phase.
a. Create a Run Script in which you specify your shell (ex: /bin/sh)
b. Add the following contents to the script area below the shell:

/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks

c. Add the paths to the frameworks you want to use under “Input Files". For example:

🚧

Important!

As of iOS SDK version 2.4.0 and above, the Carthage framework name is changed to "TaboolaSDK.framework"

$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/TaboolaSDK.framework

d. Add the paths to the copied frameworks to the “Output Files”. For example:

$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH)/TaboolaFramework.framework

Updating the SDK (optional)

We encourage developers to use the latest SDK version. To stay up-to-date, please check our announcements and change log. We highly recommend updating to the latest SDK version once a quarter.
