Nordic Thingy:52 SDK for iOS
IoT Sensor Kit
Compact multi-sensor prototyping platform
The Nordic Thingy:52™ is an easy-to-use prototyping platform, designed to help in building prototypes and demos, without the need to build hardware or even write firmware. It is built around the nRF52832 Bluetooth 5 SoC.
All sensors and actuators can be configured over-the-air using Bluetooth Low Energy. It makes it possible to create demos and prototypes without starting from scratch. It connects to Bluetooth LE-enabled smart phones, tablets, laptops and similar devices, and it sends/receives data from/to its sensors/actuators to an app or cloud. It includes an NFC antenna, and has 1 button and 1 RGB LED that simplifies input and output.

This reposotory provides a library and a sample app for iOS that can be used to configure and use your Thingy:52 device.
The sample app may also be downloaded from iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nordic-thingy/id1187887000?mt=8
Installation
For Cocoapods(Swift):
- Create/Update your Podfile with the following contents
target 'YourAppTargetName' do
use_frameworks!
pod 'IOSThingyLibrary', '~> 1.5.0'
end
- Install dependencies
pod install
- Open the newly created
.xcworkspace - Import the library to any of your classes by using
import IOSThingyLibraryand begin working on your project
For Carthage:
- Create a new Cartfile in your project's root with the following contents
github "NordicSemiconductor/IOS-Nordic-Thingy" ~> 1.5.0
- Build with carthage
carthage update --platform iOS
- Carthage will build the IOSThingyLibrary.framework, iOSDFULibrary.framework and Zip.framework files in Carthag/Build/, you may now copy all those files to your project and use the library, additionally, carthage also builds *.dsym files if you need to resymbolicate crash logs. you may want to keep those files bundled with your builds for future use.
Trying with the example app
This library comes with a very powerful opensource example app that you may download on the app store or try it directly using cocoapods, to try the Thingy App right now, go to your favorite terminal and type:
pod try IOSThingyLibrary
Xcode will launch with the example app, simply build and run!
