Setting up the build environment

The first step to customize the TIBCO Spotfire® for Apple iOS app is to ensure you can build the sample app provided in the Deployment kit.

Perform this task in the copy of the DeploymentKitApp in Xcode on your computer.

Prerequisites

Download the DeploymentKitApp project file.

Procedure

  1. In Xcode, open the project file DeploymentKitApp.
  2. Click Product > Build (or press Command + B) to build the project with no changes.
    The project should build with no errors or warnings.
  3. Set the active scheme to any device simulator for iOS 9 or higher, and then, in Xcode, click Run.
    The app should launch in the device simulator on your computer. The app contains all the features found in the Spotfire for Apple iOS app on the iTunes store.
  4. Examine the app features in its default state before you customize it.
  5. Click Stop to quit the app and return to Xcode.
