# Installation

Add the dependency and configure the package manager
**Step 1** — Add the SDK dependencyChoose one of the following package managers:

- CocoaPods
- Swift Package Manager (SPM)

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For installation and usage instructions, visit the official [CocoaPods documentation](https://cocoapods.org/). To integrate the iOS SDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, include `unicocheck-ios` in your `Podfile`:

Podfile```
pod 'unicocheck-ios'**
```

Current versionCocoaPods always resolves the latest stable release. The current SDK version is **3.3.0**.Then install the dependencies from your terminal:```
pod install
```

Open the workspace, not the projectIf you're running the project with a `.xcodeproj` file, open the project with the `.xcworkspace` file instead.App Store distribution — Xcode 16 / bitcodeCocoaPods builds may be rejected by the App Store due to bitcode in the `DeviceProfiling` and `UnicoSdkLogger` frameworks. This issue surfaces at submission time, not at install time. See [Known Issues](/developers/sdks-and-tools/ios/resources/known-issues) for the workaround before submitting to production.Swift Package Manager is a dependency manager for Swift projects, integrated with the Swift build system to automate downloading, compiling, and linking dependencies. To integrate the iOS SDK into your project using SPM, include the dependency in your `Package.swift` file:Package.swift```
.package(url: "https://github.com/acesso-io/unico-check-ios.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.3.0"))
```

**Step 2** — Add camera usage permissionTo use the camera opening method, you must declare camera usage in `Info.plist` before compiling your application:Info.plist```
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key><string>Camera usage description</string>
```
