Blockstack is a platform for developing a new, decentralized internet, where users control and manage their own information. Interested developers can create applications for this new internet using the Blockstack platform.
This repository contains:
- The Blockstack iOS SDK (
/blockstack-sdk) - A sample iOS app + web component (
/Tools) - A tutorial that teaches you how to use the SDK
if you encounter an issue please feel free to log it on this repository.
iOS 11.0+
Clone this repo and play around with the included sample app, available at (/Example). To add Blockstack functionality to your own project, read below.
Note: PhotoBlock is a fully functional, app-store ready demo app that serves as a fast way to get started with sample code. The app integrates login and storage features, and is a good way to play with Blockstack features immediately.
Blockstack is available through CocoaPods. To install
it, simply add the following line to your Podfile and run pod install:
pod 'Blockstack'Add import Blockstack to the top of any file you wish to
invoke the SDK's functionality.
Utilize Blockstack functionality in your app via the shared instance:
Blockstack.shared.*some_method()*.
Some of the essentials are described below, but have a look at the documentation for the Blockstack class to get a better understanding of what's possible. Happy coding!
Authenticate users using their Blockstack ID by calling Blockstack.shared.signIn.
A web view will pop up to request their credentials and grant access to your app.
Store content to the user's Gaia hub as a file, via the putFile method:
Blockstack.shared.putFile(to: "testFile", text: "Testing 123") {
publicURL, error in
// publicURL points to the file in Gaia storage
}
Retreive files from the user's Gaia hub with the getFile method.
Blockstack.shared.getFile(at: "testFile") {
response, error in
print(response as! String) // "Testing 123"
}
