# Minimum requirements

Before integrating the Facephi SDK Mobile, make sure you meet the following requirements:

* Device with iOS 9 or later. **It is important to note that some modules/components have higher minimum versions.**
* Required permissions. Some of the components require access permissions to:
  * Camera
  * Microphone
  * Screen Sharing
  * NFC Reader
* Updated Xcode.
* MacOS
  * Includes support for chips *Intel* and *Apple M*.

## Known issues (Mac with M1 chip)

If you use a Mac with an M1 chip and want the distribution via CocoaPods instead of SPM:

* Avoid installing CocoaPods via **Homebrew**.
* Install **cocoapods** and **cocoapods-art** using `gem`.

Below is a script that prepares the environment automatically:

```sh
#! /bin/zsh

install_cocoapods () {
    echo "Installing cocoapods with gem"
    # Creating new gems home if it doesnt't exist
    if [ ! -d "$HOME/.gem" ]; then
        mkdir "$HOME/.gem"
    fi
    # Adding to current session
    export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gem"
    export PATH="$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH"

    # Adding for future sessions
    if test -f "$HOME/.zshrc"; then
        echo 'Adding $GEM_HOME env var and then adding it to your $PATH'
        echo '' >> "$HOME/.zshrc"
        echo 'export GEM_HOME="$HOME/.gem"' >> "$HOME/.zshrc"
        echo 'export PATH="$GEM_HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> "$HOME/.zshrc"
        echo 'alias pod='arch -x86_64 pod'' >> "$HOME/.zshrc"
    fi

    # Installing cocoapods
    gem install cocoapods
    sudo arch -x86_64 gem install ffi
    which pod
    pod --version
    gem install cocoapods-art
}

uninstall_cocoapods_homebrew () {
    which -s brew
    if [[ $? != 0 ]] ; then
        echo "Homebrew not installed, skipping uninstalling cocoapods from homebrew"
    else
        brew uninstall cocoapods
    fi
}

if ! type "pod" > /dev/null; then
    echo "You don't have cocoapods installed..."
else
    echo "Trying to uninstall it from homebrew first"
    uninstall_cocoapods_homebrew
fi

install_cocoapods
```
