You must complete the tasks outlined in this section to prepare your development environment to support writing iOS applications that integrate with the ServiceNow
Mobile SDK.  
* Download and install the ServiceNow Mobile SDK libraries. For detailed instructions, see [Download and install the Mobile SDK libraries](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/R8j7HZtpGKmbKr5E26IqNA "Before you are able to create mobile applications that interact with your ServiceNow instance, you must first download and install the ServiceNow Mobile SDK libraries.").
* Install and configure the Mobile SDK scoped application. For detailed instructions, see [Install and configure the Mobile SDK scoped application](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/ntKyNz1y_XJKoxW5cSjXMg "Before writing any application that leverages the Mobile SDK, you must install and configure the Mobile SDK scoped application.").
* Configure your project. For more information, see [Configure your project](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/02P9ySBiMY7JucxYKqOuMA "Before writing any application that leverages the Mobile SDK for iOS, you must configure your project to use the SDK.").
* Activate and configure the Mobile SDK on your ServiceNow instance. For details, see [Configure certificate and create an OAuth Entity](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/b3Wwb0aeiXjqGnw2PzqCtQ "You must configure your ServiceNow instance to accept and exchange a JSON Web Token (JWT) for an OAuth access token. To enable this functionality you must install a certificate that matches the JWT provider’s private key on the ServiceNow instance that you will use as the JWT Token consumer and create an OAuth Entity on that instance.").
* Configure guest users. For details, see [Configure guest user access](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/5ok0g0vD8JXQ54vyeay5Tg "To enable SDK services to be accessible by unauthenticated users, you must configure the Mobile SDK on your ServiceNow instance to allow guest user access. A guest user can view public web pages hosted in an instance using NowWeb, have a conversation as a guest using NowChat, access public data on the instance using NowTableService and NowGraphQLService, and access custom API services configured for unauthenticated users using NowAPIService.").

After all of these tasks are completed, you can then start creating mobile applications that leverage the significant resources on your ServiceNow instance.
