Parse SDK for iOS/OS X/watchOS/tvOS

A library that gives you access to the powerful Parse cloud platform from your iOS or OS X app. For more information Parse and its features, see the website and getting started.

Getting Started

To use parse, head on over to the releases page, and download the latest build. And you're off! Take a look at the public documentation and start building.

Other Installation Options

• CocoaPods

  Add the following line to your Podfile:

  pod 'Parse'

  Run pod install, and you should now have the latest parse release.

• Carthage

  Add the following line to your Cartfile:

  github "ParsePlatform/Parse-SDK-iOS-OSX"
  

  Run carthage update, and you should now have the latest version of Parse SDK in your Carthage folder.

• Compiling for yourself

  If you want to manually compile the SDK, clone it locally, and run the following commands in the root directory of the repository:

   # To pull in extra dependencies (Bolts and OCMock)
   git submodule update --init --recursive
  
   # To install all the gems
   bundle install
  
   # Build & Package the Frameworks
   rake package:frameworks
  

  Compiled frameworks will be in 2 archives: Parse-iOS.zip and Parse-OSX.zip inside the build/release folder, and you can link them as you'd please.

• Using Parse as a sub-project

  You can also include parse as a subproject inside of your application if you'd prefer, although we do not recommend this, as it will increase your indexing time significantly. To do so, just drag and drop the Parse.xcodeproj file into your workspace. Note that unit tests will be unavailable if you use Parse like this, as OCMock will be unable to be found.
