Before writing any application that leverages the Mobile SDK for iOS,
you must configure your project to use the SDK.

## Procedure

1. Add the Mobile SDK to your project.
   1. In Xcode, drag the NowKit folder from Finder on to your Project Navigator pane (⌘+1). Xcode recognizes the folder as a Swift package and displays a folder icon next to NowKit.  
   2. Add the Mobile SDK to your target in the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content section of the project's general settings by pressing the + icon and selecting the NowKit framework from the presented list.  
   {#mobsdk-ios-config-project__substeps_dpk_4z3_wpb}
2. Update your project settings.  
   The SDK uses several device features which require user permissions. You'll
   need to add SDK feature grouped entries to your project's Info.plist for the
   following keys:  
   * NowChat
     * NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
     * NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription
     * NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
     * NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription
   * NowWeb
     * NSCameraUsageDescription
     * NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription
   {#mobsdk-ios-config-project__ul_psz_v1j_wpb}  
   Ensure that you provide messages that are helpful to customers, such as the
   following:

       ... 
       <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key> 
       <string>[Your App] requires permission to access your camera to take attachment photos and scan barcodes.</string> 
       <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key> 
       <string>[Your App] requires permission to upload your photos to a record.</string> 
       ...
