iOS API Reference

iOS API Reference

#Overview

The Magic SDK for iOS is your entry-point to secure, passwordless authentication for your mobile app. This guide will cover some important topics for getting started with iOS APIs and to make the most of Magic's features.

#Getting Started

The Magic class is the entry-point to the Magic SDK. It must be instantiated with a Magic publishable key.

#Performance improvement (optional)

We use service workers for for better performance on web3 operations. If you'd like to take advantage of this performance boost, you'd have to enable app bound domains. To do that, add the following to your Info.plist and rebuild your app:

01<key>WKAppBoundDomains</key>
02<array>
03  <string>https://auth.magic.link</string>
04</array>

#Constructor

#Magic()

Parameter

Type

Definition

apiKey

String

Your publishable API Key retrieved from the Magic Dashboard.

network?

EthNetwork | CustomNodeConfiguration

(EthNetwork): A representation of the connected Ethereum network (.mainnet or .goerli).

⁠(CustomNodeConfiguration): A custom Ethereum Node configuration with the following shape:

rpcUrl (String): A URL pointing to your custom Ethereum Node.

chainId? (Number): Some Node infrastructures require you to pass an explicit chain ID. If you are aware that your Node requires this configuration, pass it here as an integer.

locale?

Locale

Customize the language of Magic's modal, email and confirmation screen. See Localization for more.

#Initialization

In AppDelegate

Swift
01import MagicSDK
02import UIKit
03
04@UIApplicationMain
05func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
06
07    // assign the newly created Magic instance to shared property
08    // Test key defaults to "goerli", live key defaults to "mainnet"
09      Magic.shared = Magic(apiKey: "PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY")
10    // Construct with an API key and options:
11      Magic.shared = Magic(apiKey: "PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY", ethNetwork: .goerli)
12    // Construct with an API key and custom node options:
13      let customNode = CustomNodeConfiguration(rpcUrl: "https://polgyon-rpc.com", chainId: 137)
14      Magic.shared = Magic(apiKey: "PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY", customNode: customNode)
15    // Construct with an API key and custom locale
16      Magic.shared = Magic(apiKey: "PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY", locale: "es")
17    
18    return true
19}

#Error Handling

There are three types of error class to be aware of when working with Magic's iOS SDK:

#Provider

Swift
01public enum ProviderError: Swift.Error {
02  /// The provider is not configured with an authDelegate
03  case encodingFailed(Swift.Error?)
04  /// Decoding the JSON-RPC request failed
05  case decodingFailed(json: String)
06  /// Convert string failed
07  case invalidJsonResponse(json: String)
08  /// Missing callback
09  case missingPayloadCallback(json: String)
10}

#Network

Swift
01public enum Error: Swift.Error {
02  /// The response did not include expected results
03  case unexpectedResponse(Swift.Error?)
04  /// The server returned an unexpected response code
05  case invalidResponseCode
06}

#Events

Swift
01enum Error: Swift.Error{
02  case eventCallbackMissing
03}

#Resources
