How to Get It

CocoaPods

The easiest way to get your giddy hands on this goodness is by using CocoaPods. You can then use the SmartyStreets framework in your iOS project. (See the examples below.)

While it's easier to install frameworks through CocoaPods, Carthage is a more flexible approach to installing third-party frameworks.

Download the Source Code

You can find source code of the SmartyStreets iOS repository on Github which contains many sample code snippets.
