Installation with CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Objective-C, which automates and simplifies the process of using 3rd-party libraries like BlinkID in your projects. See the "Getting Started" guide for more information.

• If you wish to use version v1.4.0 or above, you need to install Git Large File Storage by running these comamnds:

brew install git-lfs
git lfs install

• Be sure to restart your console after installing Git LFS

• If you're using CocoaPods, you can easily try our sample apps by running the following command in your terminal window:

pod try PPBlinkID

Podfile

platform :ios, '7.0'
pod 'PPBlinkID', '~> 2.5.1'

Requirements

SDK package contains MicroBlink framework and one or more sample apps which demonstrate framework integration. Framework can be deployed on iOS 6.0 or later, iPhone 3GS or newer and iPad 2 or newer.

SDK performs significantly better when the images obtained from the camera are focused. Because of that, the SDK can have lower perfomance on iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th gen devices, which don't have camera with autofocus.
