- A computer running Xcode 7.3 or later
- The IBM Datacap Mobile SDK 9.0.1 or later package
Installation
Copy the archive on the computer where Xcode is installed. From Xcode select "Open ..." > and select the IBM-AutoCaptureSample-iOS.xcodeproj file.
Setup
Before you can run the sample app you need to configure the batch configurations in the app !
Basically, you need to replace the values of the struct SampleDatacapConfiguration found in ImageUploadViewController.swift.
This values need to reflect a valid batch configurated on a reachable IBM Datacap server instance.
If you do not replace this values you will not be able to upload the image !
