Questions are in bold below, any help would be appreciated…

This is part of the instructions once you create an app on the hockeyapp website. I have chosen iOS.

1/2. Download

  1. Move the folder “HockeySDK-iOS” into your project directory.

Ok, can do that.

  1. Drag & drop “HockeySDK-iOS.embeddedframework” from your project directory to your Xcode project.

Do I have an Xcode project when developing with Corona? Should I ignore this step?

  1. If you are using Xcode 7 with the new LLVM Modules support, you can skip this step. Otherwise, select your target and expand “Link Binary With Libraries” section. Check for the following frameworks:

Step skipped. But don’t know for sure if the LLVM support is in there and switched on? Running Xcode 7.3.1

The next screen shows this:

Modify CodeOpen your AppDelegate.m file and add the following line at the top of the file below your own #import statements:

#import <HockeySDK/HockeySDK.h>

Search for the method application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, and add the following lines:

[[BITHockeyManager sharedHockeyManager] configureWithIdentifier:@“c42bb6c2b6974163856dd47eca1739e5”];
[[BITHockeyManager sharedHockeyManager] startManager];
[[BITHockeyManager sharedHockeyManager].authenticator authenticateInstallation];

Any idea where to do this? Or is it not mandatory?

You don’t need any of that. That’s if you’re trying to integrate HockeyApp into your app through native code. We have a plugin that does all of that for you.

On the HockeyApp website you just have to setup your app there and then start uploading versions (.ipa files) to the server. You don’t need to include the HockeyApp plugin. It’s purpose is to detect crashes and give you information on the cause. But if you just want to use HockeyApp to share beta versions with testers, it’s not required.
