Create a reproduction app (iOS v3)

After reading our documentation, reviewing our code samples, and examining our demo and best practice apps, you may still be unable to resolve an app issue. At this point, you should submit a support ticket that links to a native project that builds a reproduction app, which JWP's Support Team can access.

Reproduction apps reduce the time necessary to resolve your issue in several ways:

Clearly shows your implementation using our framework
Eliminates non-essential code and project settings that can mask an issue
Enables the Support Team to suggest code revisions

Create a reproduction app

When submitting a support ticket for an iOS SDK issue, follow these steps:

Clone one of the following projects to your local machine.
If you are unfamiliar with how to clone a project or repository, read GitHub's Cloning a repository.

Project	Usage
Basic Demo App	Standard JWP features and functionality. For example: • Advertising issues • Playback
Best Practice App	• Advanced integrations with mobile device native frameworks Examples: enabling locking screen controls, casting, embedding in scrolling tables and lists

From Xcode, open the project.
In the Podfile, <update the SDK version.
Add your license key to the ViewController file.
• Press ⌘ + ⇧ + O.
• Type the name of the file: SwiftViewController.swift (Swift) or ObjCViewController.m (Objective-C).

JWPlayerController.setPlayerKey("YOUR_KEY_HERE")

[JWPlayerController setPlayerKey:@"YOUR_KEY_HERE"];

Update the player configuration to match the setup that you want the Support team to troubleshoot. The following table lists a few common use cases and relevant configuration updates.

Setup	Description
Advertising	Add the `JWAdConfig` object. Refer to our advertising documentation if you need assistance.
Callbacks	• Set the `delegate` property of the player to `self`. • Set the `SwiftViewController` class to adopt the `JWPlayerDelegate` protocol.
HLS Streams (DVR-enabled, Live Event streams, video on-demand)	Replace the default content URL with your test stream. For example, if using our basic demo app, then modify the `JWConfig` object found in `viewDidLoad`, `let config = JWConfig(contentURL: "YOUR ASSET URL HERE")`

Save and zip your project with your commits.
• Press ⌥ + ⌘ + C to open the commit window.
• Select the Commit button to commit your changes to the git record.
• Close the project.
• Zip the entire project.

📘
It is safe to delete the Pods folder to save space. This folder will be recreated by the Support team when $ pod install is run.

Upload the zipped project to your server at a publicly-accessible link. If you are unable to upload the zipped project to a server, you can attach the .zip file in your email response to the Support email response you receive after you submit a support ticket.
