Cisco Webex iOS SDK

The Cisco Webex iOS SDK makes it easy to integrate and secure messaging, meeting and calling features in your iOS apps.

Installation

Important — CocoaPods stops accepting new versions on 2 December 2026. The CocoaPods trunk becomes permanently read-only on that date and will no longer accept new pod versions, as announced in the CocoaPods Trunk Read-only Plan. WebexSDK releases published after that date will be available through Swift Package Manager only, so you must migrate to Swift Package Manager to keep receiving new releases, including fixes and security updates. Existing Podfiles continue to resolve the versions published before the cutoff, so current builds will not break.

The SDK can be integrated using either CocoaPods or Swift Package Manager. Both channels deliver the same binaries, and in both cases you write import WebexSDK in your code.

• CocoaPods — available for releases published up to 2 December 2026. Minimum iOS deployment target 13.0.
• Swift Package Manager — available from WebexSDK 3.17.0 onward, and the only channel for releases published after 2 December 2026. Requires Xcode 15 or later and a minimum iOS deployment target of 15.0. Releases 3.16.2 and earlier are CocoaPods only.

SDK types:

• Message SDK : WebexSDK/Message
  • This is a lightweight SDK which supports only messaging features
  • It does not support calling and meeting related features

Pod usage:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'WebexSDK/Message'
end

Swift Package Manager product: WebexSDKMessage

• WebexCalling SDK : WebexSDK/Wxc
  • This SDK supports only WebexCalling feature
  • It does not support CUCM calling

Pod usage:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'WebexSDK/Wxc'
end

Swift Package Manager product: WebexSDKWxc

• Meeting SDK : WebexSDK/Meeting
  • This SDK supports Messaging and Meeting features
  • It does not support CUCM Calling or Webex Calling

Pod usage:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'WebexSDK/Meeting'
end

Swift Package Manager product: WebexSDKMeeting

• Full SDK : WebexSDK
  • Supports all the features.
  • Details of all features can be found here

Pod usage:

target 'MyApp' do
  pod 'WebexSDK'
end

Swift Package Manager product: WebexSDK

All the SDKs are independent of each other. Developers can use either one of them to fulfil their use case.

• Broadcast Extension Kit : WebexBroadcastExtensionKit
  • Required only for screen sharing from a Broadcast Upload Extension
  • Added to your Broadcast Upload Extension target, not your app target

Pod usage:

target 'MyBroadcastExtension' do
  pod 'WebexBroadcastExtensionKit'
end

Swift Package Manager product: WebexBroadcastExtensionKit

Using Swift Package Manager

From WebexSDK 3.17.0 onward the SDK can be integrated with Swift Package Manager, in addition to CocoaPods. From 2 December 2026 it becomes the only channel for new releases, so existing CocoaPods integrations should plan to migrate before then.

In Xcode, choose File ▸ Add Package Dependencies… and enter the package URL:

https://github.com/webex/webex-ios-sdk

Set the dependency rule to Up to Next Major Version starting at 3.17.0, then add one WebexSDK product to your app target.

If your app is itself a Swift package, declare the dependency in Package.swift:

// swift-tools-version:5.9
import PackageDescription

let package = Package(
    name: "MyWebexApp",
    platforms: [.iOS(.v15)],
    dependencies: [
        .package(url: "https://github.com/webex/webex-ios-sdk", from: "3.17.0")
    ],
    targets: [
        .target(
            name: "MyWebexApp",
            dependencies: [
                .product(name: "WebexSDK", package: "webex-ios-sdk")
            ]
        )
    ]
)

The five products map to the CocoaPods flavors as follows:

Swift Package Manager product	Equivalent pod
WebexSDK	pod 'WebexSDK' (Full)
WebexSDKMeeting	pod 'WebexSDK/Meeting'
WebexSDKWxc	pod 'WebexSDK/Wxc'
WebexSDKMessage	pod 'WebexSDK/Message'
WebexBroadcastExtensionKit	pod 'WebexBroadcastExtensionKit'

Add only one of the four WebexSDK products to your app target. Whichever you pick, the module name is always WebexSDK, so the import statement is always import WebexSDK.

WebexBroadcastExtensionKit is the exception: attach it to your Broadcast Upload Extension target rather than your app target, and import it as import WebexBroadcastExtensionKit. See Broadcast Upload Extension for Screen Sharing.
