Credit card scanning for mobile apps
Yes, that's right: the card.io library for iOS is now open-source!
This repository contains everything needed to build the card.io library for iOS.
What it does not yet contain is much in the way of documentation. So please feel free to ask any questions by creating github issues -- we'll gradually build our documentation based on the discussions there.
Note that this is actual production code, which has been iterated upon by multiple developers over several years. If you see something that could benefit from being tidied up, rewritten, or otherwise improved, your Pull Requests will be welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md for details.
Using card.io
If you merely wish to incorporate card.io within your iOS app, simply download the latest official release from https://github.com/card-io/card.io-iOS-SDK. That repository includes complete integration instructions and sample code.
If you use CocoaPods, then add this line to your podfile:
If you use Carthage, then add this line to your Cartfile:
github "card-io/card.io-iOS-source"
You must also have an SSH key setup with GitHub so that the dmz submodule will download properly. See the documentation here for directions.
Dev setup
- clone this repo, including its
dmzsubmodule:git submodule sync; git submodule update --init --recursive - requires Xcode 5+ (toolchain for iOS 7)
- requires Python 2.6+
- for building releases, requires
pipandfabric
Python
We use Python-based build scripts.
If you are using virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper, create a virtual environment (optional but recommended):
# Create virtual environment for Python
mkvirtualenv cardio
Install required Python dependencies (this command may require sudo rights if installing globally):
# Install required dependencies
pip install -r pip_requirements.txt
Baler
We use baler (included in pip_requirements.txt) to encode assets (strings and images) within our library. Create a .baler_env file in the top project directory, and set the $PATH environment variable to include where you installed baler. Examples:
# Create a .baler_env, specifying the correct path for an installation using virtualenv
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:~/.virtualenvs/cardio/bin' > .baler_env
# - OR -
# Create a .baler_env, specifying the correct path if not using virtualenv
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:'`dirname \`which bale\`` > .baler_env
