Estimote Mirror iOS SDK

This SDK allows you to take control of the big screen from your iOS app with Estimote Mirror.

Main features:

• Building Mirror experience based on mobile SDKs - you can start prototyping your first Mirror application, using only mobile Display SDK. There is no need to upload any code or resources upfront to the Mirror.

• Pre-defined views - No need to design your first Mirror app view. iOS Mirror SDK lets you define customized screens based on pre-defined views; All you need to do is to declare basic styling and data.

• Feedback from Mirror screen to mobile - Whenever any display action is triggered, your mobile app gets notified about it. You can handle successful screen change and perform further actions inside your mobile app.

Please check the rest of README to get further details.

We really appreciate your feedback about our SDKs, thank you!

Quick start

Here is simple example for showing Poster View on the screen, when user appears in Mirror nearby range.

// Declare mirrorClient and proximityObserver as class properties
let mirrorClient = MirrorClient(appID: "", appToken: "")
var proximityObserver: EPXProximityObserver!

// Inside you class implementation
// Prepare your customized Poster View
let sneakersBanner = Poster() { p in
            
    p.header = "Exceptional traction\nfrom your first to final mile"
    p.body = "Now 20% off!"
    p.image = .preloaded(path: "shoe_big.jpg")
    
    p.style = PosterStyle() { ps in
        
        ps.imagePosition = Position(horizontal: .center, vertical: .top(offset: 80))
        ps.textPosition = Position(horizontal: .center, vertical: .bottom(offset: 80))
        ps.textAlign = .center
        ps.headerFontSize = .percent(130)
    }
}
        
// Initialize your Estimote Cloud credentials
let credentials = CloudCredentials(appID: "", appToken: "")

// Build ProximityObserver with Cloud credentials
self.proximityObserver = ProximityObserver(credentials: credentials, onError: { error in
    
    print("\(error)")
})

// Define near proximity zone
let mirrorZone = ProximityZone(tag: "mirror", range: ProximityRange.near)
mirrorZone.onEnter = { zoneContext in
   
    print("Enter mirror")
    self.mirrorClient.display(sneakersBanner, onMirror: zoneContext.deviceIdentifier)
}
mirrorZone.onExit = { zoneContext in
    
    print("Exit mirror")
}

// Start proximity observation
self.proximityObserver.startObserving([mirrorZone])

Zone monitoring is based on Estimote Proximity SDK - the most reliable signal-processing technology.
