Step 1: Use iOS App SDK to create a project directory

All resources for your app are stored in a project directory. Use iOS App SDK to create the project directory for your app.

1. Open the Terminal app on your Mac.

2. Use the cd command to change the directory to the location of the iOSAppSDKPackage_<version number> folder on your Mac. You created the folder in Before you begin.

   Tip  Drag the folder to the Terminal window to enter the full path of the folder.

3. Enter the following command at the Terminal prompt:

   ./makeprojdir <projectPath> <appName> <appBundleIdentifier>

   • projectPath: The name and location of the project directory for your app. The project directory can be anywhere in your file system; it doesn't need to be in the iOS App SDK directory.

   • appName: The name of your app. If the name contains spaces or special characters, enclose the name in quotation marks.

   • appBundleIdentifier: The unique bundle identifier for your app. See Xcode Help.

   The following example creates a new project directory called MyAppDir in the user's home directory for the Hello World app and the com.mycompany.helloworld bundle identifier:

   ./makeprojdir ~/MyAppDir "Hello World" com.mycompany.helloworld

Project directory contents

A project directory is created for your app in the location you specified. This directory includes:

• <appName> directory: The directory used for storing the files and resources for your app.

• <appName>.xcodeproj file: The Xcode project file for your app.

Do not modify the following:

• app.entitlements file: Specifies the entitlements for your app.

• iOSAppSDKResources directory: Contains the resources that iOS App SDK created for your app.
