Box iOS Preview SDK

This SDK makes it easy to present Box files in your iOS application.

Developer Setup

• Ensure you have the latest version of XCode installed.
• We encourage you to use Cocoa Pods to import the SDK into your project. Cocoa Pods is a simple, but powerful dependency management tool. If you do not already use Cocoa Pods, it's very easy to get started.

Quickstart

Step 1: Add to your Podfile

pod 'box-ios-preview-sdk'

Step 2: Install

pod install

Step 3: Import

#import <BoxPreviewSDK/BoxPreviewSDK.h>

Step 4: Set the Box Client ID and Client Secret that you obtain from creating a developer account

[BOXContentClient setClientID:@"your-client-id" clientSecret:@"your-client-secret"];

Step 5: Present a file

BOXFile *file = ... // A BOXFile that you retrieved through the Content SDK or Browse SDK. See the Sample Application for an example.
BOXFilePreviewController *filePreviewController = [[BOXFilePreviewController alloc] initWithContentClient:[BOXContentClient defaultClient] file:file];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:filePreviewController animated:YES completion:nil];

Using an existing Content Client to initialize a BOXFilePreviewController will create a Preview Client behind the scenes with the default caching policy. To customize caching settings, you can explicitly create a Preview Client to pass in.

Sample App

A sample app can be found in the BoxPreviewSDKSampleApp folder. To execute the sample app:

Step 1: Install Pods

cd BoxPreviewSDKSampleApp
pod install

Step 2: Open Workspace

open BoxPreviewSDKSampleApp.xcworkspace
