How to initialize the SDK on your iOS App 

Once the SDK integration is completed, you must initialize the ASAP SDK on your app.

The following three keys are crucial for the initialization:
    •    Org ID
    •    App ID
    •    Data Center

The values of these keys will appear under the Install your widget on a website or mobile app section on the ASAP help widget setup page in Zoho Desk.

To initialize the SDK in your app, perform the following 2 steps:

1. Import the Zoho Desk Portal APIKit framework into the AppDelegate file in your project.

Swift

  1. import ZohoDeskPortalAPIKit

Objective-C

  1. @import ZohoDeskPortalAPIKit;
2. Paste the following initialization code into the application method with the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions argument.

Swift


  1. func application(_ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions:
    [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool
    {
    ZohoDeskPortalKit.initialize(orgID: <#String#>, appID: <#String#>, dataCenter: <#ZDPDataCenter#>)
    return true
    }

Objective-C

  1. - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
    {
    [ZohoDeskPortalSDK
    initializeWithOrgID:<#NSString#>appID:<#NSString#>dataCenter:<
    #ZDPDataCenter#>];
    return YES;
    }
