How does the iOS (iPhone/iPad) SDK work?

If you're interested in our iOS SDK, you're probably wondering what the user's experience looks like. Here's a quick walkthrough of our SDK. It can differ slightly based on whether you're using Helpdesk, Feedback or Full Service and how you implement the code. For this article, we'll show you the standard SDK with a Full Service site.

Helpdesk in the SDK

The Helpdesk includes the ticketing system and Instant Answers. It doesn't have a full Knowledge Base that users can simply browse, though.




Common iOS SDK Questions

1. How do I use the iPhone/iPad SDK?

2. Do I have to release the App through the App store?

  • No. While we ask for an "iTunes Applicate ID," we don't require it.

3. Do you have an Android SDK?

4. I have a Helpdesk Only plan. Will the iOS SDK work with just tickets and the Knowledge Base?

  • Yes. You can use it with Full Service, and Helpdesk Only accounts. 
5. Can I use SSO (Single Sign On) with the iOS SDK?
6. In the Helpdesk Report, what channel do tickets submitted via the SDK show under?
  • They will show under iOS
7. Can I create a rule for tickets submitted via the SDK?

  • No, not at this time. The only "Channels" option in Rules is the Widget (which combines all Widgets and the SDK). If you would like to see us add more granular settings for this, you can vote for the idea here.
8. Do you have some examples of customers using the iOS SDK?
