Dependencies¶

This guide covers the system dependencies required for the Self SDK across different operating systems.

Note: The Self SDK currently supports macOS and Linux-based operating systems. Windows support is not available at this time.

macOS¶

The easiest way to install the Self SDK and its dependencies on macOS is through Homebrew:

1

# Add the Self tap to Homebrew
brew tap joinself/tap

# Install the Self SDK
brew install joinself/tap/self-sdk

Note: For more information about installing via Homebrew, you can visit Self's Homebrew tap repository.

Linux¶

Debian/Ubuntu¶

1. First, add the APT repository:

1

# Create keyrings directory
sudo mkdir -m 0755 -p /etc/apt/keyrings

# Download and add the repository signing key
curl -fsSL https://europe-apt.pkg.dev/doc/repo-signing-key.gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/self.gpg

# Add the repository to sources list
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/self.gpg] https://europe-apt.pkg.dev/projects/principal-oxide-204416 apt main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/self.list

1. Install the SDK:

1
2

# Update package database and install
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install self-sdk

Fedora/Red Hat¶

1. Add the YUM repository:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/self.repo << EOL
[self]
name=Self
baseurl=https://europe-yum.pkg.dev/projects/principal-oxide-204416/yum
enabled=1
repo_gpgcheck=0
gpgcheck=0
EOL

1. Install the SDK:

1

sudo yum install self-sdk

Verifying Installation¶

After installation, you can verify that the SDK is properly installed by checking its version:

1

self-sdk --version

JVM¶

1. Add the repository:

1
2
3

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

1. Add the library to dependencies block:

1
2
3

dependencies {
  implementation("com.joinself:sdk-jvm:1.0.0")
}

• Using SNAPSHOT

You can use the snapshot version of the current development version of SelfSDK, available on Maven Central Snapshots

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

repositories {
  maven { url = uri("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/") }
}

dependencies {
  implementation("com.joinself:sdk-jvm:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
}

Android¶

1. Add the repository:

1
2
3

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

1. Add the library to dependencies block:

1
2
3

dependencies {
  implementation("com.joinself:sdk-android:1.0.0")
}

• Using SNAPSHOT

You can use the snapshot version of the current development version of SelfSDK, available on Maven Central Snapshots

1
2
3
4
5
6
7

repositories {
  maven { url = uri("https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/") }
}

dependencies {
  implementation("com.joinself:sdk-android:1.0.0-SNAPSHOT")
}

1. Add permissions in manifest file

1

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

iOS¶

Theself_ios_sdk depend on both OpenSSL and SelfUI

The OpenSSL is a part of NFCPassportReader. It has not embedded to NFCPassportReader. So we have to embed to the application level. The SelfUI is a ui components for the self_ios_sdk. It has not embedded to the self_ios_sdk. So we have to embed it to the application too.

Installation & Usage¶

We use the Swift Package Manager to install the main sdk self_ios_sdk

self_ios_sdk¶

In your project -> Package dependencies. Click add and paste this url to the search field

1

https://github.com/joinself/self-embedded-ios.git

OpenSSL¶

add this

1

https://github.com/krzyzanowskim/OpenSSL

SelfUI¶

check out the SelfUI as submodule project

1

git clone --recursive git@github.com:joinself/joinself-self-mobile-ios-ui.git

NOTE: We have seen an issue about git authentication failed when pull FLAnimatedImage. A dependency in SelfUI framework. To resolve that issue we might need to change the git authentication from https to ssh to fix that.

1

git@github.com:Flipboard/FLAnimatedImage.git

Then drag the SelfUI.xcodeproj from the sub-project path

1

joinself-self-mobile-ios-ui/SelfUI/SelfUI.xcodeproj

Then

In the General tab -> Frameworks, Libraries, Embedded and Content add SelfUI with embed mode Embed & Sign

Troubleshooting¶

If you encounter any issues during installation:

1. Make sure your system is up to date
2. Verify that you have sufficient permissions
3. Check your system's package manager is working correctly
4. Ensure you have a stable internet connection
