A simple way to display third-party attributions in an iOS project.
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:
$ gem install cocoapodsTo integrate Credits into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '10.0'
use_frameworks!
target '<Your Target Name>' do
pod 'Credits'
endThen, run the following command:
$ pod installBe sure to add a "Copy Framework" step in Xcode > Project > Target > Build Phases
See the included example for how to instantiate, but this is a simple example:
// Load plist file in an array for the parser to use
let licensePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "licenses", ofType: "plist")
// Create a new license parser
let parser = LicenseParser(licensePath: licensePath!)
// Create a new Credits view controller
let controller = CreditsViewController.creditsViewController(parser: parser!)
present(controller, animated: true, completion: nil)The license file must be a Property List using the following format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<array>
<dict>
<key>title</key>
<string>SomeThirdPartyLibraryTitle</string>
<key>link</key>
<string>https://github.com/SomeThirdPartyLibraryTitle</string>
<key>content</key>
<string>Copyright (c) 2014-2016... (rest of license contents)
</string>
</dict>
</array>
</plist>title is replaced by the title of the third-party project.
link is a link to whereever the project is (e.g. GitHub).
content is the license file content.
You can load custom body and content HTML for display in the web view as follows:
// Custom body and content HTML
let bodyHTMLPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "license-body", ofType: "html")
let contentHTMLPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "license-content", ofType: "html")
let parser = LicenseParser(licensePath: licensePath, licenseHTMLBodyPath: bodyHTMLPath, licenseHTMLContentPath: contentHTMLPath)The body HTML must contain the flagged variable $CONTENT which is replaced by the parsed license file content.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<body>
<div>
The following sets forth attribution notices for third party software that may be contained in portions of this product.
</div>
$CONTENT
</body>
</html>The content HTML (for each individual license) contains three flags as shown in the example:
<div class="license-title">
$TITLE
<div class="license-link">$LINK</div>
</div>
<div class="license-content">
$CONTENT <!-- Wrap each license in <p></p> for proper formatting -->
</div>$TITLE is replaced by the title of the third-party project.
$LINK is a link to whereever the project is (e.g. GitHub).
$CONTENT is the license file content.
