iOS SDK - Getting Started
The Xweather iOS SDK and tvOS is divided into separate libraries so you can only include what’s required for your application. The two primary frameworks include:
- AerisWeatherKit.framework
- AerisMapKit.framework
If you are using AerisMapKit but using Mapbox or Google Maps SDKs in your application rather than the standard Apple Maps provided in MapKit, you would need to also include one of the following libraries:
- AerisMapboxMapKit.framework
- AerisGoogleMapKit.framework
Note that Mapbox and GoogleMap support are not currently available for tvOS.
Start using the Xweather iOS SDK
You’ll need an active Xweather Weather API subscription and your application registered with in order to receive the required access ID and secret key.
Create an AerisWeather account
Sign up for an Xweather Flex subscription . We offer a free developer account for you to give our weather API a test drive.
Create your API access keys
Log in to your account and find the Apps section to register your application for an API access key. Within the Apps section, click on New Application to register a new app. You will then be prompted to enter a project name and namespace. These can be updated at any time.
