Apple (FPS) SDK 5 Example Code Quick Start

This guide enables you to demonstrate CONNECT Player features and view the example code.

Example code is provided for iOS only.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the latest version of Xcode installed.

Download the iOS SDK pack, which supplies all the files needed to launch the player and start streaming content.

• opy-sdk-ios-fps-5.1.x-example-code.zip
  This file contains application projects which demonstrate how to use simple and advanced features; for example, playing clear and encrypted streams.

• opy-sdk-ios-fps-5.1.x-integration.zip
  This contains the SDK framework files.

You also need a device running iOS 12 or above.

Procedure

1. Save the SDK pack to your development machine and unzip it. The extracted package contains a zipped set of example code, extract the contents of the example-code.zip file to a suitable location.

2. Copy the SDK framework folder into the example-code folder.

3. Start Xcode, and then select the required project from the extracted package. The following projects are available:
