Create your project

In this step, you'll add the Apollo iOS SDK to a new project.

Create a new Xcode project

Open Xcode and go to File > New > Project. The template chooser appears.

Under the set of iOS templates, choose Master-Detail App:

Click Next. An options dialog for your app appears.

Name the project RocketReserver. Make sure the language is Swift and the User Interface is Storyboard:

Click Next. Select a location to save your new project and click Finish.

Xcode creates and opens your new project, which has the following structure:

Add the Apollo iOS SDK to your project

Next, you'll add a dependency on the apollo-ios repo and Apollo libraries using Swift Package Manager (SPM).

Go to File > Swift Packages > Add Package Dependency. A dialog to specify a package repository appears.

Specify https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-ios.git (don't forget the .git!) as the package repository:

Click Next. Xcode checks out the repository and analyzes the library. A package options dialog appears.

Select Up to Next Minor from the Version dropdown (because the Apollo iOS SDK is still a 0.x release, breaking changes can occur between minor versions):

Click Next. A list of packages included in the library appears. For this tutorial, select the main Apollo target and the ApolloWebSocket target:

Click Finish. SPM fetches your dependencies. When it completes, you can see them in the project navigator:

Note: Because SPM has not yet implemented Target-Based Dependency Resolution, you'll see the SQLite dependency even though you didn't select it.

Next, before you can use the SDK, you need to obtain a local copy of your GraphQL schema.
