iOS

This page details how to add the ReadyRemit SDK Package to your Project for iOS

Step 1 - Import the SDK

1.1 - Using Swift Package Manager

  • Add the ReadyRemitSDK package to your Package.swift
.package(  
 	 url: "https://github.com/BrightwellPayments/readyremit-sdk-ios",  
 	.branch("9.0")  
)
  • Update your packages running the command swift package update
  • Alternativelly you can import it directly via XCode,
  • In Xcode's top menu, go to File > Add Packages....
  • In the dialog that appears, enter the URL of the repository in the search bar:
    https://github.com/BrightwellPayments/readyremit-sdk-ios
  • Select Branch from the dependency rules
  • Enter 9.0(or the desired version) as the branch name.
  • Click Add Package.
  • Add the Package to Your Targets

1.2 - Using Cocoapods

  • Open the Podfile in a text editor.
  • Add the following line, replacing 9.0 with the desired version of the SDK:

pod 'ReadyRemitSDK', :git => 'https://github.com/BrightwellPayments/readyremit-sdk-ios.git', :branch => '9.0'

  • Install the pod running pod install

1.3 - Using binary

  1. Download the ReadyRemitSDK.zip from here.
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Create a Frameworks folder under your root project folder
  4. Paste the unzipped ReadyRemitSDK.xcframework into the newly created Frameworks folder

Add the SDK to your project

  1. Open your Project in XCode and go to the Project -> General -> Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content.
  2. Drag and drop the downloaded SDK into the "Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content" section of the settings.

Install required libraries

  1. Download the VisaSensoryBranding.zip file from Github.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file and add the extracted library folder to the newly created "Frameworks" directory.
  3. In XCode select your main target in the "Project Navigator" window and switch to the "General" tab.
  4. Under "Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content" drag and drop the VisaSensoryBranding.xcframework folder

Step 2 - Implement ReadyRemit Delegate

Open the View Controller you will be launching the ReadyRemit SDK from, and add the ReadyRemitDelegate protocol to the ViewController class definition. (You will need to import the ReadyRemit SDK.)
You will want to conform it to the protocol by adding two functions.
The first function gets an Auth Token. This function will have two callbacks. One is to run if the call back is successful, and a second is a failure.

❗️

Security Warning

The Auth Token can be used to view users' personal information and bank information. Because of this, you should never store it in long-term storage.

//ReadyRemitSDK
import ReadyRemitSDK

class ViewController: UIViewController, ReadyRemitDelegate {
  ...
  
  func onAuthTokenRequest(success: @escaping (String) -> Void, 
                          failure: @escaping () -> Void) {
     // If token is available
     let authToken = "ACCESS_TOKEN_FROM_SERVER"
     DispatchQueue.main.async {
     	success(authToken)
     }

     ..

     // If token is unavailable
     DispatchQueue.main.async {
     	failure()
     }
   }
}

The second function is the onSubmitTransfer function. You should make an API call to your server with the TransferRequest data through this function. This gives you a TransferId in return which you will give to the SDK.

//ReadyRemitSDK
import ReadyRemitSDK

class ViewController: UIViewController, ReadyRemitDelegate {
  ...
  
  func onSubmitTransfer(transferRequest: ReadyRemit.TransferRequest,
                        success: @escaping (String) -> Void, 
                        failure: @escaping (String, String) -> Void) {
    
    // Make an API call to your server with the TransferReqeust data
    // Expect a transferId to be returned
		let transferId = "abc"
    DispatchQueue.main.async {
    	success(transferId)
    }

     ..

     // If token is unavailable
     let errorMessage = "error message from server"
     let errorCode = "error code from server"
     DispatchQueue.main.async {
     	failure(errorMessage, errorCode)
     }
   }
}

❗️

Note on API Endpoints

As of May 1, 2024, Apple will require all apps submitted to the App Store to include a detailed declaration of API usage in their privacy manifest files. To comply with this requirement, developers must add an NSPrivacyAccessedAPITypes array to the Info.plist file of the app. This array should contain dictionary entries for each API, including ones for ReadyRemit, that accesses user or device data, specifying the category of the API and providing a clear, approved reason for its usage. These reasons must align with Apple's guidelines on privacy transparency. It is crucial for developers to review their code for API usage in categories such as SystemBootTime, FileTimestamp, UserDefaults, and DiskSpace, and to document their necessity and purpose.

Step 3 - Initialize your SDK

The last step is to initialize the SDK.

🚧

Note on UINavigationController

The ReadyRemit SDK initialization requires that the ViewController launching the SDK has a parent NavigationController available.

guard let controller = self.navigationController else {
    // ERROR handling in case the navigation controller isn't available
    
    return;
}
ReadyRemit.shared.languageSelected("en_US") // Value can be "en_US" or "es_MX"
ReadyRemit.shared.environment = .sandbox // Value can be .sandbox or .production
ReadyRemit.shared.launch(inNavigation: controller, delegate: self) {}

(Optional) Style the ReadyRemit SDK

You can style the SDK following this example

  1. Colors
let colors = createColors()
colors.primary = UIColor(lightHex: "#934AE0", darkHex: "#844FBB");
colors.primaryLight = UIColor(lightHex: "#F3EDFB", darkHex: "#2B2332");
colors.buttonColor = UIColor(lightHex: "#743FC9", darkHex: "#743FC9");
colors.buttonText = UIColor(lightHex: "#FFFFFF", darkHex: "#FFFFFF");
colors.text = UIColor(lightHex: "#0E0F0C", darkHex: "#E3E3E3");
colors.textSecondary = UIColor(lightHex: "#454545", darkHex: "#B0B0B0");
colors.foreground = UIColor(lightHex: "#FFFFFF", darkHex: "#1F1F1F");
colors.background = UIColor(lightHex: "#F3F4F6", darkHex: "#111111");
colors.icon = UIColor(lightHex: "#444444", darkHex: "#7E7E7E");
colors.inputLine = UIColor(lightHex: "#858585", darkHex: "#505050");
colors.divider = UIColor(lightHex: "#E2E2E2", darkHex: "#313131");
colors.success = UIColor(lightHex: "#008761", darkHex: "#008761");
colors.danger = UIColor(lightHex: "#AA220F", darkHex: "#ED7083");
colors.dangerLight = UIColor(lightHex: "#F4E9E7", darkHex: "#533338");

ReadyRemit.shared.appearance = ReadyRemitAppearance(colors: colors)
  1. Fonts

🚧

Utilizing Custom Fonts

To employ a custom font, please make sure it is correctly installed within your application. Also, ensure that it includes semi-bold and bold variations for a complete experience.

ReadyRemitFontScheme.defaultFamily = "Arial"

(Optional) Closing ReadyRemitSDK

If you wish to gracefully close the ReadyRemitSDK at any point in your code, you can achieve this with the following method:

func closeReadyRemitSDK() {  
    ReadyRemit.shared.close()  
}

(Optional) Inactivity Detector

If you prefer to automatically close the ReadyRemitSDK when your users are inactive, you can use the following snippet. Place it in your activity where you launch the SDK.

import UIKit

class YourViewController : UIViewController() {
  
	@IBAction private func onSendMoney(_ sender: Any) {
    guard let controller = self.navigationController else {
    // ERROR handling in case the navigation controller isn't available
    
    	return
		}
     // Launch ReadyRemitSDK
		ReadyRemit.shared.environment = .sandbox // Value can be .sandbox or .production
		ReadyRemit.shared.launch(inNavigation: controller, delegate: self) {}
    
    // Set inactivity timeout (e.g., 60 seconds)
    ReadyRemit.shared.close(afterSeconds: 60)
  }
}

(For KYC users only) Enable Camera Permission

If you wish to use the ReadyRemitSDK with the KYC feature enabled, you will need to ask your users for Camera Permission, here is how you can do that.

  1. In XCode, open your info.plist file and add a new key for Privacy - Camera Usage Description with a value explaining why you need to use the camera. We recommend the following text:

Verify my identity per KYC standards before I can start sending money to recipients
