end

Swift Package Manager

To install the SDK with Swift Package Manager, add the following dependency to your project:

https://github.com/twilio/conversations-ios

1. Open your project in Xcode.
2. Select File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency....
3. Enter https://github.com/twilio/conversations-ios into the search field in the Choose Package Repository dialog, then click Next.
4. Make your versioning choice and click Next.
5. Add the package to one of your targets and click Finish.

Direct download

We also offer the iOS SDK as a direct download. There are several steps you’ll need to complete to successfully add Conversations to your project:

1. Download the Conversations Client framework from the Twilio CDN.
2. Confirm the download’s SHA-256: 23698b743b7325b58c50f98dd8b3aed7bab432ec3dfa72b5bd695992a90f90e5.
3. Expand the downloaded .zip file and locate the .xcframework file(s) inside the directory created.
4. Drag the .xcframework file(s) into your Xcode project, making sure they are dropped in the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content section of your project target’s settings. Make sure you select Copy items if needed when prompted. If the framework file(s) do not appear under Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content for your target, you will receive a Reason: image not found error during compilation.
5. Add libc++.tbd as a dependency to your target if it is not already there.
