## Requirements & Installation

Aries Framework Swift requires iOS 15.0+ and distributed as a CocoaPods pod.

Add the following lines at the top of the Podfile:
```
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
source 'https://github.com/naver/indy-sdk.git'
```

And add a pod depencency to the Podfile:
```
pod 'AriesFramework'
```

Building on Apple silicon Mac is not supported yet.

## Usage

App development using Aries Framework Swift is done in following steps:
1. Create an Agent instance
2. Create a connection with another agent by receiving a connection invitation
3. Receive credentials or proof requests by implementing a AgentDelegate

### Create an Agent instance

```swift
    import AriesFramework

    let config = AgentConfig(walletKey: key,
        genesisPath: genesisPath,
        mediatorConnectionsInvite: mediatorInvitationUrl,
        mediatorPickupStrategy: .Implicit,
        label: "SampleApp",
        autoAcceptCredential: .never,
        autoAcceptProof: .never)

    let agent = Agent(agentConfig: config, agentDelegate: myAgentDelegate)
    try await agent.initialize()
```

To create an agent, first create a key to encrypt the wallet and save it in the keychain.
```swift
    import Indy

    let key = try await IndyWallet.generateKey(forConfig: nil)
```

A genesis file for the indy pool should be included as a resource in the app bundle and get the path to it.
```swift
    let genesisPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "genesis", ofType: "txn")
```

If you want to use a mediator, set the `mediatorConnectionsInvite` in the config.
`mediatorConnectionsInvite` is a url containing either a connection invitation or an out-of-band invitation.
`mediatorPickupStrategy` need to be `.Implicit` to connect to an ACA-Py mediator.

You can use WebSocket transport without a mediator, but you will need a mediator if the counterparty agent only supports http transport.

`agentDelegate` can be nil if you don't want to receive any events from the agent.

### Receive an invitation

Create a connection by receiving a connection invitation.
```swift
    let (_, connection) = try await agent.oob.receiveInvitationFromUrl(url)
```

You will generally get the invitation url by QR code scanning.
Once the connection is created, it is stored in the wallet and your counterparty agent can send you a credential or a proof request using the connection at any time. The connection record contains keys to encrypt or decrypt messages exchanged through the connection.

### Receive credentials or proof requests

Implement `AgentDelegate` to receive events from the agent and use `agent.credentials` or `agent.proofs` commands to handle the requests.

```swift
class MyAgentDelegate: AgentDelegate {
    func onCredentialStateChanged(credentialRecord: CredentialExchangeRecord) {
        if credentialRecord.state == .OfferReceived {
            processCredentialOffer(credentialRecord)
        } else if credentialRecord.state == .Done {
            showSimpleAlert(message: "Credential received")
        }
    }

    func onProofStateChanged(proofRecord: ProofExchangeRecord) {
        if proofRecord.state == .RequestReceived {
            processProofRequest(proofRecord)
        } else if proofRecord.state == .Done {
            showSimpleAlert(message: "Proof done")
        }
    }

    func processCredentialOffer(_ credentialRecord: CredentialExchangeRecord) {
        Task {
            do {
                _ = try await agent.credentials.acceptOffer(options: AcceptOfferOptions(credentialRecordId: credentialRecord.id, autoAcceptCredential: .always))
            } catch {
                showSimpleAlert(message: "Failed to receive credential")
                print(error)
            }
        }
    }

    func processProofRequest(_ proofRecord: ProofExchangeRecord) {
        Task {
            do {
                let retrievedCredentials = try await agent.proofs.getRequestedCredentialsForProofRequest(proofRecordId: proofRecord.id)
                let requestedCredentials = try await agent.proofService.autoSelectCredentialsForProofRequest(retrievedCredentials: retrievedCredentials)
                _ = try await agent!.proofs.acceptRequest(proofRecordId: proofRecord.id, requestedCredentials: requestedCredentials)
            } catch {
                showSimpleAlert(message: "Failed to present proof")
                print(error)
            }
        }
    }
}
```

If you set `autoAcceptCredential` and `autoAcceptProof` to `.always` in the config, it will be done automatically and you don't need to implement a delegate.

Another way to handle those requests is to implement your own `MessageHandler` class and register it to the agent.
```swift
    let messageHandler = MyOfferCredentialHandler()
    agent.dispatcher.registerHandler(handler: messageHandler)
```

For your information, Aries Framework Swift refers to [Aries Framework JavaScript](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript) a lot, so the class name and API are almost the same.

## Sample App

`Sample` directory contains an iOS sample app that demonstrates how to use Aries Framework Swift. The app receives a connection invitation from a QR code or from a URL input and handles credential offers and proof requests.

To run the sample app, first install the dependencies using CocoaPods.
```bash
$ cd Sample
$ pod install
```

Then open `wallet-app-ios.xcworkspace` and run the app. The agent is created in the `WalletOpener.swift` file and you can set a mediator connection invitation url there, if you want.

There are two genesis files in the `resources` directory.
- `bcovrin-genesis.txn` is for the [GreenLight Dev Ledger](http://dev.greenlight.bcovrin.vonx.io/)
- `local-genesis.txn` is for the local indy-pool.
