Example Projects

To try the example project, simply clone this repository and open the Examples folder to choose between the Objective-C and Swift project files.

Installation

Cocoapods

1. Add this line to your project's Podfile

pod 'ARVideoKit'

2. Install the pod

$ pod install

Carthage

1. Add this line to your project's Cartfile

github "AFathi/ARVideoKit" ~> 1.31

2. Update your Carthage directory

$ carthage update

Manual Deprecated

If you're currently using the .framework file, I recommend to re-install the framework using one of the other installation options.

Drag the ARVideoKit.framework file as an embedded binary of your project targets. ARVideoKit.framework can be found in the /Framework Build/ folder of this repository.

Manual (Supported)

Drag ARVideoKit.xcodeproj into your project and click the + button in the embedded binaries section of your project's target.

NOTE

Make sure you add the usage description of the camera, microphone, and photo library in the app's Info.plist.

<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>AR Camera</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key>
<string>Export AR Media</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>
<string>Export AR Media</string>
<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>Audiovisual Recording</string>

You're all set. 🤓

Check RecordAR documentation for more options!

Publishing to the App Store

Before publishing to the App Store make sure to add the ARVideoKit License to your app licences list.

1. Build ARVideoKit for release

Open ARVideoKit.xcodeproj

Select ARVideoKitRelease scheme with Generic iOS Device

Build the project (cmd + B)

Right click on Products/ARVideoKit.framework -> Show in finder

Copy and replace ARVideoKit.framework in your project

Additionally, if you are using the binary build from Framework Build or the latest release, you MUST strip out the simulator architectures from the framework before pushing an application to the App Store.

To do so, follow those steps:

2. Install Carthage

Download Carthage.pkg from here

Or install with Homebrew using this command brew install carthage

3. Go to your project target's Build Phase

4. Add a new Run Script Phase

5. Add the following command to the Run Script Phase

/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks

6. Finally, add ARVideoKit.framework file path as an Input File. In my case, I have it in a folder named Frameworks inside my project folder
