Add Kettle

Preqrequisites​

The following criterias must be fulfilled to implement the SDK:

  • Minimum iOS target: 11.0
  • CocoaPods installed on target machine

Install Kettle​

Nuget​

No nuget package is available due to issues with XCFramework support.

Project reference​

Clone the Xamarin bindings offered by Kogenta:

$ git clone git@github.com:fluxloop/kettle-sdk-ios-xamarin.git

Install the required dependencies by running the bootstrap shell script included in the project. Essentially, it runs a pod install to fetch the latest version of the native SDK. Verify the script before running if neccessary.

$ cd kettle-sdk-ios-xamarin/src
$ sh bootstrapper.sh

In the event that the script is missing permissions to execute, do the following prior to running the bootstrapper:

$ chmod +x bootstrapper.sh

Add the Kettle.iOS.csproj project as an existing project to your projects solution file, and use it via local project reference.

Background modes​

Add the following background modes to your application:

  • bluetooth-central

Initialize Kettle​

AppDelegate.cs
using Kettle.iOS;
...

public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
{
    KTLConfig config = KTLConfig.KTLDefaultConfig();
    config.ProductionApiKey = "<PRODUCTION-API-KEY>";
    config.DevelopmentApiKey = "<DEVELOPMENT-API-KEY>";

    KTLXamarin.Register();
    KTLKettle.Prepare(config, options);
}
