Welcome to Pebble's official iOS SDK!
All Pebble SDK examples are now available on GitHub at https://github.com/pebble/pebble-sdk-examples, please look into the weather-demo, sports-demo, and golf-demo folder for iOS sample code.
- Install CocoaPods or make sure it is up to date
- Add a Podfile to your project if you don't have one already (Hint: use
pod init). - Add this line to the Podfile:
pod 'PebbleKit' - Run
pod install
- Drag PebbleKit.framework into project
- Drag in PebbleVendor.framework into the project, or, drag the PebbleVendor.xcodeproj into project if you need to control the 3rd party components needed for PebbleKit.
- Link ExternalAccessory.framework, libz.dylib, CoreBluetooth.framework, CoreMotion.framework and MessageUI.framework
- Add "-ObjC" linker flag to your project's build settings
- Add the value "com.getpebble.public" to the "Supported external accessory protocols" (UISupportedExternalAccessoryProtocols) array in your app's Info.plist
- Optionally, add the value "App communicates with an accessory" (external-accessory) to the "Required background modes" (UIBackgroundModes) array in your app's Info.plist
You can browser the latest documentation online at http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/PebbleKit and install an offline docset if you click on the icon on the top right.
Alternatively, manually install the docset from this folder:
- An Xcode docset is included with documentation about all public APIs.
- Copy
PebbleKit-ios.docsetcontent into~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets - Restart Xcode. The documentation will now be available from
Help > Documentation and API Reference
In order for Pebble to work with iPhones, Pebble is part of the Made For iPhone program (a requirement for hardware accessories to interact with iOS apps). Unfortunately this also means that if you build an iOS app with PebbleKit, we (Pebble) will need to whitelist your iOS app before you can upload it to the App Store. If you have completed a Pebble app and would like to learn more about making it available on the App Store, please visit the whitelisting guide
