Apple (FPS) SDK 5 Example Code Quick Start

This guide enables you to demonstrate CONNECT Player features and view the example code.

Example code is provided for iOS only.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the latest version of Xcode installed.

Download the iOS SDK, which supplies all the files needed to launch the player and start streaming content.

opy-sdk-ios-fps-5.8.x-example-code.zip
This file contains application projects that demonstrate how to use simple and advanced features, such as playing clear and encrypted streams.
opy-sdk-ios-fps-5.8.x-integration.zip
This contains the SDK framework files.

You also need a device running iOS 12 or above.

Procedure

Save the SDK pack to your development machine and unzip it. The extracted package contains a zipped set of example code; extract the contents of the example-code.zip file to a suitable location.
Copy the SDK framework folder into the example-code folder.
Start Xcode, and then select the required project from the extracted package; see the example projects below.
Connect an Apple device to your machine, and build and run the application.
