Integrate the Short Video SDK for iOS with CocoaPods-ApsaraVideo VOD(VOD)-阿里云帮助中心

Prerequisites

Your development environment must meet these requirements:

Item	Description
OS version	iOS 9.0 or later.
macOS High Sierra version	macOS High Sierra 10.13 or later.
Xcode version	Xcode 9.0 or later. Download Xcode.

SDK editions

The Short Video SDK has three editions — Professional, Standard, and Basic — all using the AliVCSDK_ShortVideo.framework library. Obtain a license for the edition that fits your needs.

The Basic Edition supports recording and cropping only.
The Professional and Standard editions are full-featured. The Standard Edition requires separate authorization for advanced API operations.

Note

Check the release notes for SDK updates.

Integration

To use both the Short Video SDK and the Player SDK, integrate the ApsaraVideo MediaBox SDK for iOS. This all-in-one SDK prevents dependency conflicts from separate integrations.
To integrate the Short Video SDK and Player SDK separately, use compatible versions of both SDKs and AlivcFFmpeg to avoid feature malfunctions. AlivcFFmpeg version dependencies.

Pod integration

Add dependencies to the Podfile based on the SDK version.
Important
- If you use Short Video SDK 3.24.0 or later, you must use FFmpeg 4.3.0 or later.
- Verify network access to the pod repository. After running pod install, confirm the framework version matches the latest version on the official website.
- To upload media files to ApsaraVideo VOD with a minimal-dependency integration, also integrate the Upload SDK.
- For V7.0.0 or later
```
pod 'AliVCSDK_ShortVideo', '~> 7.11.0'
```
- For V6.21.0 or earlier
```
pod 'AliyunVideoSDKBasic', '~> 6.21.0' // Required for the Basic Edition
pod 'AliyunVideoSDKStd', '~> 6.21.0'	// Required for the Standard Edition
pod 'AliyunVideoSDKPro', '~> 6.21.0'	// Required for the Professional Edition
```
Update the pod repository.
```
pod repo update
```
Install the pod.
```
pod install
```

Project configuration

After integration, configure these settings in Xcode:

In Build Settings > Linking > Other Linker Flags, add the -ObjC flag.

In the Info.plist file of your project, add the following permissions:

Privacy - Camera Usage Description
Privacy - Microphone Usage Description
Privacy - Photo Library Usage Description

License configuration

After you obtain a license, configure the license file. Obtain a license for the Short Video SDK.

Import the license file into your app project and add two key-value pairs to Info.plist. Set AlivcLicenseKey to your license key and AlivcLicenseFile to the license file path relative to the main bundle:

Key	Value
AlivcLicenseKey	Your license key. Example: MoCTfuQ391Z01mNqG8f8745e23c8a457a8ff8d5faedc1****
AlivcLicenseFile	The path of the embedded license file relative to the main bundle.
