PayPal SDK for iOS

PayPal SDK for iOS

Another day another dollar. After spending half a day, well I should say wasting half a day I've finally figured out how to add PayPal's SDK for iOS. I'm currently using XCode 4.

I will break it down into steps so hopefully this will help others!

1.) SDK Download.

- First you have to download the PayPal iOS SDK from here.

2.) "Adding the Files"

- Control Click on your project.xcode file and chose "Add files to project" (or chose File->"Add files to Project").

- Navigate to where you had saved your downloaded PayPal SDK on disk.

- You will find a folder named "Library" which contains 11 header files, as well as a static library named "libPayPalMPL.a".

- Select all of these files and check the "Copy items into destination group's folder (if needed) check box.

- Now before you build your project you have to add additional libraries. 

- Navigate to your Link Binary With Libraries within your project target and add the following Libraries.

Security.framework

libxml2.dylib

libz.dylib

3.) #import "PayPal.h"

- Now that you have everything added properly you have to #import "PayPal.h" and follow the documentation provided from PayPal.

4.) Build your project and you will be ready to go!

Hopefully this helps someone else out. I had searched on google for quite sometime and didn't really find anything helpful. Happy Coding!
