VGS Collect iOS SDK

VGS Collect - is a product suite that allows customers to collect information securely without possession of it. VGSCollect iOS SDK allows you to securely collect data from your users via forms without having to have that data pass through your systems. The form fields behave like traditional input fields while securing access to the unsecured data.

Before you start

You should have your organization registered at VGS Dashboard. Sandbox vault will be pre-created for you. You should use your <vaultId> to start collecting data. Follow integration guide below.

Integration

Swift Package Manager

The Swift Package Manager is a tool for automating the distribution of Swift code and is integrated into the swift compiler. Xcode with Swift tools version of 5.3 is required for VGSCollectSDK. Earlier Xcode versions don't support Swift packages with resources. To check your current Swift tools version run in your terminal:

xcrun swift -version

To use Swift Package Manager, in Xcode add the https://github.com/verygoodsecurity/vgs-collect-ios.git dependency and choose the Exact version.

Select VGSCollectSDK and optionally other packages provided with VGSCollectSDK:

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. For usage and installation instructions, visit CocoaPods website. To integrate VGSCollectSDK into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

pod 'VGSCollectSDK'

Usage

Import SDK into your file

import VGSCollectSDK

Create VGSCollect instance and VGS UI Elements

Use your <vaultId> to initialize VGSCollect instance. You can get it in your organisation dashboard.

Code example

Here's an example In Action
Customize VGSTextFields...
/// Initialize VGSCollect instance
var vgsCollect = VGSCollect(id: "vauiltId", environment: .sandbox)

/// VGS UI Elements
var cardNumberField = VGSCardTextField()
var cardHolderNameField = VGSTextField()
var expCardDateField = VGSTextField()
var cvcField = VGSTextField()

/// Native UI Elements
@IBOutlet weak var stackView: UIStackView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    /// Create card number field configuration
    let cardConfiguration = VGSConfiguration(collector: vgsCollect,
                                         fieldName: "card_number")
    cardConfiguration.type = .cardNumber
    cardConfiguration.isRequiredValidOnly = true

    /// Setup configuration to card number field
    cardNumberField.configuration = cardConfiguration
    cardNumberField.placeholder = "Card Number"
    stackView.addArrangedSubview(cardNumberField)

    /// Setup next textfields...
}
...
... observe filed states
override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    ...
    
    /// Setup delegate
    cardNumberField.delegate = self
}

extension ViewController: VGSTextFieldDelegate { func vgsTextFieldDidChange(_ textField: VGSTextField) { textField.borderColor = textField.state.isValid ? .gray : .red

  /// Check Card Number Field State with addition attributes
  if let cardState = textField.state as? VGSCardState, cardState.isValid {
      print("THIS IS: \(cardState.cardBrand.stringValue) - \(cardState.bin.prefix(4)) **** **** \(cardState.last4)")
  }
}

}

... send data to your Vault
// ...

// MARK: - Send data    
func sendData() {

    /// handle fields validation before send data
    guard cardNumberField.state.isValid else {
	print("cardNumberField input is not valid")
    }

    /// extra information will be sent together with all sensitive card information
    var extraData = [String: Any]()
    extraData["customKey"] = "Custom Value"

    /// send data to your Vault
    vgsCollect.sendData(path: "/post", extraData: extraData) { [weak self](response) in
      switch response {
        case .success(let code, let data, let response):
          // parse data
        case .failure(let code, let data, let response, let error):
          // handle failed request
          switch code {
            // handle error codes
          }
      }
    }
}

VGSCardTextField automatically detects card provider and display card brand icon in the input field.

Scan Credit Card Data

VGS Collect SDK provides optional card scan solution. It's required to use only Scan modules provided by VGS, which are audited by VGS PCI requirements.

Integrate with Cocoapods

Add 'VGSCollectSDK' alongside with one of scan modules pod:

pod 'VGSCollectSDK'

# Add one of available scan providers
pod 'VGSCollectSDK/BlinkCard'  

Integrate with Swift Package Manager

To use BlinkCard add VGSCollectSDK, VGSBlinkCardCollector packages to your target.

Code Example

Here's an example In Action
Setup VGSBlinkCardController...
class ViewController: UIViewController {
    /// Init VGSBlinkCardController
    var scanController: VGSBlinkCardController?

    /// Init VGSTextFields...

    override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()

      // Init VGSBlinkCardController with BlinkCard license key and delegate
        scanController = VGSBlinkCardController(licenseKey: "<blinkCardLicenseKey>", delegate: self, onError: { errorCode in
          print("BlinkCard license error, code: \(errorCode)")
        })
    }

    /// Present scan controller 
    func scanData() {
      scanController?.presentCardScanner(on: self, animated: true, modalPresentationStyle: .fullScreen, completion: nil)
    }
}
...
... handle VGSBlinkCardControllerDelegate
// ...

/// Implement VGSBlinkCardControllerDelegate methods

extension ViewController: VGSBlinkCardControllerDelegate { func textFieldForScannedData(type: VGSBlinkCardDataType) -> VGSTextField? { // match VGSTextField with scanned data switch type { case .expirationDate: return expCardDate case .cardNumber: return cardNumber case .cvc: return cvcCardNum case .name: return cardHolderName default: return nil } }

func userDidFinishScan() {
  scanController?.dismissCardScanner(animated: true, completion: {
      // add actions on scan controller dismiss completion
  })
}

func userDidCancelScan() {
  scanController?.dismissCardScanner(animated: true, completion: {
      // add actions on scan controller dismiss completion
  })
}

}

Handle VGSBlinkCardControllerDelegate functions. To setup scanned data into specific VGSTextField implement textFieldForScannedData: . If scanned data is valid it will be set in your VGSTextField automatically after user confirmation. Check VGSBlinkCardDataType to get available scand data types.

Don't forget to add NSCameraUsageDescription key and description into your App Info.plist.

Upload Files

You can add a file uploading functionality to your application with VGSFilePickerController.

Code Example

Setup VGSFilePickerController...
class FilePickerViewController: UIViewController, VGSFilePickerControllerDelegate {

  var vgsCollect = VGSCollect(id: "vailtId", environment: .sandbox)
  
  /// Create strong referrence of VGSFilePickerController
  var pickerController: VGSFilePickerController?

  override func viewDidLoad() {
      super.viewDidLoad()

      /// create picker configuration
      let filePickerConfig = VGSFilePickerConfiguration(collector: vgsCollect,
      							fieldName: "secret_doc",
						       fileSource: .photoLibrary)

      /// init picket controller with configuration
      pickerController = VGSFilePickerController(configuration: filePickerConfig)

      /// handle picker delegates
      pickerController?.delegate = self
  }

  /// Present picker controller
  func presentFilePicker() {
      pickerController?.presentFilePicker(on: self, animated: true, completion: nil)
  }
}
...
... handle VGSFilePickerControllerDelegate In Action
// ...  

// MARK: - VGSFilePickerControllerDelegate
/// Check file info, selected by user
func userDidPickFileWithInfo(_ info: VGSFileInfo) {
	let fileInfo = """
		    File info:
		    - fileExtension: \(info.fileExtension ?? "unknown")
		    - size: \(info.size)
		    - sizeUnits: \(info.sizeUnits ?? "unknown")
		    """
	print(fileInfo)
	pickerController?.dismissFilePicker(animated: true,
					  completion: { [weak self] in
					  
		self?.sendFile()
	})
}

// Handle cancel file selection
func userDidSCancelFilePicking() {
	pickerController?.dismissFilePicker(animated: true)
}

// Handle errors on picking the file
func filePickingFailedWithError(_ error: VGSError) {
	pickerController?.dismissFilePicker(animated: true)
}
... send file to your Vault
// ...

// MARK: - Send File	
/// Send file and extra data
func sendFile() {

	/// add extra data to send request	
	let extraData = ["document_holder": "Joe B"]

  /// send file to your Vault
  vgsCollect.sendFile(path: "/post", extraData: extraData) { [weak self](response) in
    switch response {
      case .success(let code, let data, let response):
        /// remove file from VGSCollect storage
        self?.vgsCollect.cleanFiles()
      case .failure(let code, let data, let response, let error):
        // handle failed request
        switch code {
          // handle error codes
        }
    }
  }
}

Use vgsCollect.cleanFiles() to unassign file from associated VGSCollect instance whenever you need.
