This tutorial guides you through creating a ForgeRock SDK-enabled iOS app from beginning to end.

It uses embedded login to implement user authentication journeys, meaning you get to design and implement the user interface to your requirements.

Step 1. Create a new app project: In this step, you set up your environment to create iOS applications using the freely-available Xcode IDE.
Step 2. Integrate the SDK into your app: In this step, You configure the project to use the ForgeRock SDK for iOS.

You can choose between CocoaPds (recommended), Swift Package Manager, or embedding the project manually.
Step 3. Initialize the SDK: In this step, you enable debug logging during development.

You then and add a call to the FRAuth.start() method, which initializes the SDK and loads the configuration you define in the next step.
Step 4. Configuration file properties: In this step, you learn about the settings you need to connect to your ForgeRock Identity Cloud or AM instance.
Step 5. Configure the SDK: In this step, you create a file to contain the settings you need to connect to your ForgeRock Identity Cloud or AM instance.
Step 6. Understand the authentication flow: In the step you learn how to handle authentication trees and their callbacks.
Step 7. Prerequisites for authentication: Verify that your source code is ready to perform authentication.
Step 8. Enable authentication: Learn how to start an authentication journey in your app.
Step 9. Collect the username and password: Implement UI controls to collect a username and password.
Step 10. Test authentication: Run the app and test that you can authenticate.

Configure a sample iOS app to launch a browser to authenticate your users in PingOne, using centralized login.

After authenticating, PingOne redirects users back to your sample client application, that can then get OAuth 2.0 tokens and user info for the user.

Step 1. Download the ForgeRock SDK for iOS: In this step, you download the ForgeRock SDK for iOS repo, which contains the projects you will use.
Step 2. Configure the sample app: In this step, you configure the "FRExample" sample to connect to the OAuth 2.0 application you created in PingOne, using the centralized login method.
Step 3. Run the sample app and perform centralized login: In this final step, you run the sample app that you configured in the previous step.

The app performs a centralized login on your PingOne instance.
