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:

1. Identify the <a href="https://github.com/jwplayer/jwplayer-ios-bestPracticeApps/blob/main/README.md" target="_blank">BestPracticeApps project</a> most relevant to your issue.

2. <a href="https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/cloning-a-repository#about-cloning-a-repository" target="_blank">Clone the project</a> to your local machine.

3. From Xcode, open the project.

4. In the **Podfile**, [update the SDK version](🔗) to the relevant specific version, such as `pod 'JWPlayerKit', '4.7.0'`.<br /><br />

   💡

   
   

   If the specific version <strong>does not</strong> matter, use the following steps to run the most updated version:

   • Open a command-line prompt.

   • Navigate to the project directory.

   • Run `pod repo update`.

   • Run `pod update`.

5. Add your license key to the **AppDelegate** file inside the `application:didFinishLaunching:withOptions` before returning `true`.

6. 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.

<br />

7. 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.

8. 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.
