Agora provides [Open-source sample projects on GitHub](https://github.com/AgoraIO/API-Examples/tree/main) to demonstrate the implementation of basic and advanced Video SDK features.

    This page shows how to compile, configure, and run the Video SDK iOS sample project.

    ## Prerequisites [#prerequisites-1]

    * Xcode 13.0 or higher.

    * An Apple developer account.

    * If you need to use CocoaPods integrated SDK, make sure [CocoaPods is installed](https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html#getting-started).

    * Two devices running iOS 14.0 or higher.

    * A camera and a microphone

    * A valid Agora account and project. Please refer to [Agora account management](../../manage-agora-account.md) for details.

    * Installed [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)

    ## Project setup [#project-setup-1]

    ### Get the sample project [#get-the-sample-project-1]

    You can obtain the sample project using the following methods:

    * Go to the [SDKs](/en/api-reference/sdks) page, download the latest version of the Agora Video SDK, and unzip it.

    * Run the following command to clone the Github repository locally:

      ```bash
      git clone git@github.com:AgoraIO/API-Examples.git
      ```

      This repository contains sample projects for all native platforms of Agora Video SDK. The examples for iOS are located under `/iOS`.

      | Path                    | Description                             |
      | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
      | `/iOS/APIExample`       | API usage examples for Agora Video SDK. |
      | `/iOS/APIExample-Audio` | API usage examples for Agora Voice SDK. |

    ### Configure the sample project [#configure-the-sample-project-1]

    <CalloutContainer type="info">
      <CalloutDescription>
        This page refers to the video sample project. If you want to run the audio sample project, refer to the following steps and operate in the audio folder.
      </CalloutDescription>
    </CalloutContainer>

    1. Open the `samples/APIExample/APIExample/Common/KeyCenter.swift` file and fill in the App ID and App certificate you obtained from the Agora Console.

       ```swift
       class KeyCenter: NSObject {
         // Replace <#Your App ID#> with your App ID
         static let AppId: String = "<#Your App ID#>"
         // Replace #Your certificate# with your App certificate. Leave this field blank if the project allows joining with the App ID only.
         static let Certificate: String? = "<#Your certificate#>"
       }
       ```

    2. Open terminal and run `pod install` in the `samples/API-Example` folder to install the SDK and related dependencies. After the installation is complete, the terminal displays 'Pod installation complete!'.

    ## Run the sample project [#run-the-sample-project-1]

    1. Connect an iOS device to your development machine, open **Device > Privacy & Security > Security** on the device, and turn on the developer mode.

    2. Check your iOS device in the **iOS Device** options at the top of the Xcode interface.

    3. Check **Automatically manage signing** in **Signing & Capabilities** under **TARGETS**, then configure your Apple developer account and **Bundle Identifier** under each target.

    4. Click **Start compiling**.

    5. After successful compilation, you see the app icon on your device.

    6. If an untrusted developer prompt pops up on the device, first tap **Cancel** to close the prompt, then open **Settings > General > VPN and Device Management** on the iOS device, and choose to trust the developer.

    7. Open the **API Example App**, select an example you want to try, then enter the channel name. For example, *test*, and tap **Join Channel**.

    8. To test various audio and video interaction use-cases, connect to the [Agora web demo](https://webdemo.agora.io/basicVideoCall/index.html), or install and run the sample project on a second device. Make sure you use the same app ID on both devices. When you join the same channel from two devices, you can see and hear each other.
