And here’s more information that you’ll need after you download the iOS Library:
The zip contains these files:
- libLIA_API.a: The library you need to import into your project
- LIA_API.h: Required header file containing and explaining the LIA API functions
- Board.h, Category.h, ForumNode.h, Message.h, Thread.h, User.h: Required model object header files used by the Lithium iOS Library. They contain and explain the model object interfaces.
To integrate the Lithium iOS Library with your application:
- Add the libLIA_API.a library to your frameworks folder under your project tree in Xcode
- Add all the header files to your project
- Read through all of the header files (especially the SETUP section in LIA_API.h) to become familiar with all of the functions and model objects at your disposal
- Make sure to add a call to the connectTo function in LIA_API.h at application startup
