Install using Cocoapods
To add Twitter Kit to your app, simply add TwitterKit
to your Podfile.
target 'MyApp' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'TwitterKit'
end
Install using Carthage
To install Twitter Kit for iOS using Carthage, add the following lines to your Cartfile. For more information about how to set up Carthage and your Cartfile, see here.
binary "https://ton.twimg.com/syndication/twitterkit/ios/TwitterKit.json"
binary "https://ton.twimg.com/syndication/twitterkit/ios/TwitterCore.json"
After running carthage update
, add TwitterKit.framework
and TwitterShareExtensionUI.framework
to the Linked Frameworks and Binaries
section under General of your App target. In addition to that, make sure that when you are adding the copy-frameworks run script for Carthage that you add the following input paths:
$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/TwitterCore.framework
$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/TwitterKit.framework
$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/TwitterShareExtensionUI.framework
Make sure that the run script phase is after your Link Binaries with Libraries phase to prevent issues with properly archiving your iOS application.
