The primary CareKit framework codebase supports iOS and requires Xcode 11.0 or newer. The CareKit framework has a Base SDK version of 13.0, meaning that apps using the CareKit framework can run on devices with iOS 13.0 or newer.

The latest stable version of the CareKit™ framework is version 1.2 and can be cloned with:

git clone -b stable --recurse-submodules https://github.com/carekit-apple/carekit.git

Or, for the latest changes including early access to CareKit 2.0, use the master branch:

git clone https://github.com/carekit-apple/carekit.git

Build the CareKit framework by opening CareKit.xcodeproj and running the CareKit framework target. Optionally, run the unit tests too.

To get started, drag CareKit.xcodeproj from your checkout into your iOS app project in Xcode.

Then, embed the CareKit framework as a dynamic framework in your app, by adding it to the Embedded Binaries section of the General pane for your target as shown in the figure below.

One of the best ways to see how CareKit works is to look at the OCKSample app. The simplest way to do this is to open CKWorkspace.xcworkspace, choose the OCKSample scheme, build and run the app. After that take a look at the app's code and experiment by making a few changes.
