Drag the ARVideoKit.framework file as an embedded binary of your project targets. ARVideoKit.framework can be found in the /Framework Build/ folder of this repository.
Or you may drag ARVideoKit.xcodeproj into your project and click the + button in the embedded binaries section of your project's target.

- Build ARVideoKit for release
Open ARVideoKit.xcodeproj
Select ARVideoKitRelease scheme with Generic iOS Device
Build the project (cmd + B)
Right click on Products/ARVideoKit.framework -> Show in finder
Copy and replace ARVideoKit.framework in your project
Additionally, if you are using the binary build from Framework Build or the latest release, you MUST strip out the simulator architectures from the framework before pushing an application to the App Store.
To do so, follow those steps:
- Install Carthage
Download
Carthage.pkgfrom here
Or install with Homebrew using this command
brew install carthage
- Go to your project target's
Build Phase
- Add a new
Run Script Phase
- Add the following command to the
Run Script Phase
/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks
- Finally, add
ARVideoKit.frameworkfile path as anInput File. In my case, I have it in a folder namedFrameworksinside my project folder
