iOS ​

1. Open your project’s Podfile in a text editor:

open ios/Podfile

2. Add the following line to the target 'MyApp' do ... end block:

target 'MyApp' do
    # ...
+  pod "ComPDFKit", podspec:'https://www.compdf.com/download/ios/cocoapods/xcframeworks/compdfkit/2.2.0.podspec'
+  pod "ComPDFKit_Tools", podspec:'https://www.compdf.com/download/ios/cocoapods/xcframeworks/compdfkit_tools/2.2.0.podspec'
    # ...
end

Note: If SSL network requests fail to download the ComPDFKit library when you run pod install, you can use the following method instead.

target 'MyApp' do
    # ...
+  pod 'ComPDFKit', :git => 'https://github.com/ComPDFKit/compdfkit-pdf-sdk-ios-swift.git', :tag => '2.2.0'
