THE NEXT GENERATION CLIENT LIBRARY IS AVAILABLE HERE: https://github.com/mimikgit/cocoapod-mimOE-SE-iOS-developer
mimik Client Library for iOS provides a programmatic way to work with the edgeEngine Runtime to access information about the mobile device on which the application is running.
The purpose of the mimik Client Library for iOS is to provide a programmatic way to work with the edgeEngine Runtime to access information about the mobile device on which the application is running, as well as mobile devices running within a cluster of mobile devices that are hosting the edgeEngine Runtime. Also, to allow developers to use edge microservices running within a particular cluster.
The mimik Client Library for iOS suite consists of these individual cocoapod components:
- EdgeCore
- EdgeEngineDeveloper (for developer projects)
- EdgeEngine (for enterprise projects)
By leveraging the EdgeCore cocoapod, developers can build applications compatible with the edgeEngine Runtime.
Additionally, this component provides utility APIs that help developers with core operations such as Authentication, edgeEngine Runtime Setup, deployment of edge microservices and handling of network calls.
Furthermore, the EdgeEngineDeveloper (or EdgeEngine for enterprise projects) cocoapod provides edgeEngine Runtime lifecycle control API, as well as vendoring the actual edgeEngine Runtime binary into the iOS project.
Expanding the client library ecosystem is the EdgeService cocoapod, providing API for integrating mimik edge and backend microservices.
iOS Devices running iOS 15+iOS Simulators running iOS 15+iOS Mac Catalyst running macOS 12.0
iOS 15.0+
To install EdgeCore and EdgeEngineDeveloper (or EdgeEngine for enterprise solutions) cocoapods simply add the following lines to your Podfile:
NOTE: Developers wanting to use their developer edge license from mimik developer console should specify EdgeEngineDeveloper cocoapod in their
Podfile.
NOTE: Enterprise project developers should specify EdgeEngine cocoapod in their
Podfileand use the full edge license they received from mimik support.

EdgeCore/EdgeClient API reference documentation can be found online. Alternatively a docc archive file can be downloaded as a zip file and opened locally in Xcode.
EdgeEngineClient platform protocol API reference documentation can also be found online.
EdgeService API reference documentation is also online.

Cocoapod sets:
- EdgeClientLibraryDeveloper = (EdgeCore + EdgeEngineDeveloper)
- EdgeClientLibrary = (EdgeCore + EdgeEngine)
