Before you begin, make sure you complete the following steps:

• Get the latest version of the SDK and sample code in SDK downloads.
• Contact the ZEGOCLOUD team to get the AppID and AppSign for online privilege authentication.

Make sure your development environment meets the following requirements:

• Xcode 7.0 or later.
