CardFlight iOS SDK Library
Introduction
The CardFlight iOS SDK is used to process card present and card not-present transactions in your iOS application.
CardFlight's SDK is based around keeping it as simple as possible while keeping the highest level of security at the forefront of all that we do. Take out the pain of PCI-compliance when building your app.
Authentication is done through your API Keys and processing is done through the Account Tokens. All connections to CardFlight's API are done through HTTPS over HSTS.
Setup
CocoaPods Installation
CocoaPods is the recommended method of installing CardFlight.

Add the libCardFlightLibrary.a and all header files into your project. Add the following frameworks to you project:
- AVFoundation.framework
- AudioToolbox.framework
- MediaPlayer.framework
- MessageUI.framework
- CoreGraphics.framework
- libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib
If using the Attache library you must include:

Logging
The SDK includes a logging mode to assist with debugging that will print out statements in the console. Be sure to disable it in the production code.
- (void)setLogging:(BOOL)logging;
Initialize
Add CardFlight.h to your AppDelegate and set the API Key and Account Token.
Example
[[CFTSessionManager sharedInstance] setAPIToken:@"e9cb15260f08e438b782952895d4ba4d"
AccountToken:@"acc_04ff8bf654afb265"];
The CardFlight SDK is broken into easy-to-manage components. You just include the ones that you want to use in the header files of the classes that need to access those components.
