# Installation with dependency managers

`Forter SDK` is distributed both on [Swift Package Manager](https://swift.org/package-manager/) and [CocoaPods](https://cocoapods.org/). The deliverables are the same for both integration methods.

## Swift Package Manager

::::hint{type="danger"}
If you have used CocoaPods as the integration method previously, please delete `pod 'ForterSDK'` from the `Podfile` and run the following commands:

:::BlockQuote
pod cache clean ForterSDK
pod install --no-repo-update
:::
::::

### Xcode

1. In the **Project Navigator**, select the **Project** and then the **Package Dependencies** tab and click the **+** button
2. In the search bar, enter `https://bitbucket.org/forter-mobile/forter-ios-sdk.git`
3. Set the dependency rule to **Up to Next Major Version** and click the "add package" button.

### Package.swift

To add the **Forter SDK** to your project using `Package.swift`, include it in your package dependencies:

```swift
dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://bitbucket.org/forter-mobile/forter-ios-sdk.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "3.2.3"))
]
```

## CocoaPods

In order to integrate `Forter SDK` to your project using CocoaPods, please take the following steps:

1. Make sure your your `Podfile` includes the `use_frameworks!` flag.
2. Add the 
   `ForterSDK`
    Pod to the 
   `Podfile`
    next to the rest of the frameworks you're using:

```objective-c
pod 'ForterSDK', :git => 'https://bitbucket.org/forter-mobile/forter-ios-sdk.git'
```

3. Run `pod install`

# Version Updates

### Swift Package Manager

To update the `Forter SDK` using Swift Package Manager:

1. In Xcode, go to File > Packages > Update to Latest Package Versions.
2. Xcode will automatically update to the latest version that matches your version rule.

### Cocoapods

1. In your `Podfile`, ensure you're not pinned to a specific version:

```ruby
pod 'ForterSDK', :git => 'https://bitbucket.org/forter-mobile/forter-ios-sdk.git', '~> 3.2.3' # Use this for the latest minor version
# or
pod 'ForterSDK', :git => 'https://bitbucket.org/forter-mobile/forter-ios-sdk.git'  # Use this for the latest version overall
```

2. Run `pod update ForterSDK`
