iOS Question How to add HockeyApp for iOS?

[CanguroCode]

I need upload my alpha version iOS app to HockeyApp for sharing to my testers / clients, since I don't want they send me theirs UDID´s or they do something extra steps. I just want to share a link and they can download my app. But I don't have idea how to achive some steps in HockeyApp documentation:

https://support.hockeyapp.net/kb/client-integration-ios-mac-os-x-tvos/hockeyapp-for-ios

How can I accomplish the 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 instructions?

-2.3 Copy the SDK into your projects directory in Finder

Spoiler: Copy sdk Instructions

From our experience, 3rd-party libraries usually reside inside a subdirectory (let's call our subdirectory Vendor), so if you don't have your project organized with a subdirectory for libraries, now would be a great start for it. To continue our example, create a folder called Vendor inside your project directory and move the unzipped HockeySDK-iOS-folder into it.

The SDK comes in four flavors:

• Default SDK without Feedback: HockeySDK.embeddedframework
• Full featured SDK with Feedback: HockeySDK.embeddedframework in the subfolder HockeySDKAllFeatures.
• Crash reporting only: HockeySDK.framework in the subfolder HockeySDKCrashOnly.
• Crash reporting only for extensions: HockeySDK.framework in the subfolder HockeySDKCrashOnlyExtension(which is required to be used for extensions).

Our examples will use the default SDK (HockeySDK.embeddedframework).

-2.4 Add the SDK to the project in Xcode

Spoiler: Add SKD Instructions

We recommend using Xcode's group-feature to create a group for 3rd-party-libraries similar to the structure of our files on disk. For example, similar to the file structure in 2.3 above, our projects have a group called Vendor.

1. 
   
   
   • Make sure the Project Navigator is visible (⌘+1).
   • Drag & drop HockeySDK.embeddedframework from your Finder to the Vendor group in Xcode using the Project Navigator on the left side.
   • An overlay will appear. Select Create groups and set the checkmark for your target. Then click Finish.

-2.5 Modify Code:

Objective-C
Open your AppDelegate.m file.
Add the following line at the top of the file below your own import statements:

@import HockeySDK;

Search for the method

application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

Add the following lines to setup and start the HockeyApp SDK:

[[BITHockeyManager sharedHockeyManager] configureWithIdentifier:mad:"APP_IDENTIFIER"];
// Do some additional configuration if needed here
[[BITHockeyManager sharedHockeyManager] startManager];
[[BITHockeyManager sharedHockeyManager].authenticator authenticateInstallation]; // This line is obsolete in the crash only builds

Swift


Open your AppDelegate.swift file.
Add the following line at the top of the file below your own import statements:

import HockeySDK

Search for the method

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool

Add the following lines to setup and start the HockeyApp SDK:

BITHockeyManager.shared().configure(withIdentifier: "APP_IDENTIFIER")
BITHockeyManager.shared().start()
BITHockeyManager.shared().authenticator.authenticateInstallation() // This line is obsolete in t
he crash only builds

Since I don't know where to upload the files (I hosted mac user) and where put that code.

Thanks in advance

I'm pretty sure that it is not possible unless you have an enterprise account (https://support.hockeyapp.net/discussions/problems/71777-hockeyapp-distribution-without-udid).

Ok, however, if I want to test the service, How can I make this work?

You need to create a small library or use #AdditionalLib to access the native library with NativeObject.
