Set up the Xcode project and build the iOS app

Perform the following steps to set up a project in Xcode and provide a signing identity:

Log in to your Mac machine that has Xcode and iOS SDK installed and configured.

Copy the adobe-lc-mobileworkspace-src-<version>.zip archive from the downloads folder to [User_Home]/Projects/.

Extract the archive in the [User_Home]/Projects/[your-project]directory.

Navigate to the [User_Home]/Projects/[your-project]/adobe-lc-mobileworkspace-src-[version]/ios directory.

Open the AEM Forms.xcodeproj project in Xcode.

Click AEM Forms, under TARGETS, select AEM Forms. Select the Build Settings tab, locate the Code Signing Entitlement section, and in Debug and Release fields do one of the following:

• Leave the fields unspecified to build a standard Mobile Workspace app
• Specify the fields to as explained in Building a Secure AEM Forms app for iOS to build a secure AEM Forms app.

In the Build Settings tab, click All and then click Combined.

From the Settings list, expand Code Signing.

For Code Signing Identity, select the appropriate signature. For detailed information about, creating new signatures, see Creating and Downloading Development Provisioning Profiles.

Ensure that the same signature is selected for Debug, Release, and Any iOS SDK.

Replace the following code in the AEM Forms-info.plist file:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
<true/>
</dict>

with the following while replacing yourserver.com with an appropriate host name for your server.

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
<key>NSExceptionDomains</key>
<dict>
<key>yourserver.com</key>
<dict>
<!-Include to allow subdomains->
<key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key>
<true/>
<!-Include to allow HTTP requests->
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key>
<true/>
<!-Include to support forward secrecy->
<key>NSExceptionRequiresForwardSecrecy</key>
<false/>
<!-Include to specify minimum TLS version->
<key>NSTemporaryExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
<string>TLSv1.1</string>
</dict>
</dict>
</dict>

NOTE

This step is required only if AEM Forms app needs to connect to a server that does not follow App Transport Security requirements.

Under PROJECT, select AEM Forms and ensure that the appropriate signature is selected for Code Signing Identity, Debug, Release and Any iOS SDK.

Connect a provisioned iPad to a Mac machine.

Select the provisioned device for the AEM Forms project.

A provisioned device, iPad Air 2, is selected.
