This IoT for Automotive Starter will help you get started with the IoT for Automotive Context Mapping and Driver Behavior services available on IBM Bluemix in order to create automotive solutions.

The IoT for Automotive Starter Mobile App is a sample source code for interacting with the IBM IoT for Automotive Starter Server Application, which enables a car-sharing service. Using the mobile app, you can search available cars near you, reserve a car, unlock and then start driving. You can also view your driving score as a part of the service.

This sample source code for IoT for Automotive Starter Mobile App is intended solely for use with an Apple iOS product and intended to be used in conjunction with officially licensed Apple development tools and further customized and distributed under the terms and conditions of your licensed Apple iOS Developer Program or your licensed Apple iOS Enterprise Program.

The sample source code for the companion IoT for Automotive Starter Server App can be found at ibm-watson-iot/iota-starter-server.

This application source code was developed using Xcode 7.3. To run this app, follow the stepps below.

This mobile app contains simple demonstration of Mobile Client Access service. It logins with hardcoded username and password using Mobile Client Access for custom authentication.

• CustomAuthDelegate.swift onAuthenticationChallengeReceived()
  Call submitAuthenticationChallengeAnswer() with hardcorded username and password.

• QRCodeReaderViewController.swift configureVideoCapture()
  Set whether use custom authentication or not in okAction.

• API.swift doInitialize()
  Initialize the Mobile Client Access client SDK.

See Configuring the Mobile Client Access client SDK for iOS for more information.
