# Add PinchSDK

# Prerequisites

The following criterias must be fulfilled to implement the SDK:

• Minimum iOS target: 9.0
• Minimum Android SDK version: 15
• Minimum Android compile version: 28
• Java 8+

# Add dependency

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
    pinch: ^x.x.x

# Install flutter package

You can install packages from the command line with flutter:

$ flutter pub get

# Gradle configuration

# Enable Java 8 byte code

If your project is not targeting or compiled with Java 8+, you have to edit your applications build.gradle to do so:

compileKotlin {
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}

compileTestKotlin {
  kotlinOptions {
    jvmTarget = "1.8"
  }
}

android {
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
}

compileJava {
  sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}

android {
  compileOptions {
    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
  }
}

# Android

In AndroidManifest.xml, add the following element as a child of the <application> element, by inserting it just before the closing </application> tag:

  <meta-data
      android:name="com.fluxloop.pinch.sdk.API_KEY"
      android:value="your-api-key-here"/>

If your project utilizies ProGuard, add the following exception to your ProGuard definition:

-keepclassmembers class com.fluxloop.pinch.core.model.** { *; }

# iOS

After running flutter pub get, navigate to your projects ios directory and install the pods imported by the PinchSDK package, and open your runner project:

$ cd ios
$ pod install
$ open Runner.xcworkspace

In your AppDelegate didFinishLaunchingWithOptions add the following method call:

import PinchSDK

PinchSDK.initialize(with: launchOptions)
PinchSDK.apiKey = "api-key-here"

Add bluetooth-central to your applications background modes. This allows us to scan for eddystone data without having access to users location.

# Import it

Now in your Dart code, you can use:

import 'package:pinch/pinch.dart';
