Adding optional iOS frameworks

MobileFirst iOS functionality is provided by a collection of frameworks that can be added to your app. Only one of these frameworks is required (IBMMobileFirstPlatformFoundation). You can add optional frameworks according to the features you want to implement in your app. You reduce the size of the app by including only the frameworks required by your chosen features.

For an existing MobileFirst Xcode project , you can add frameworks manually by linking the frameworks in Xcode or by using Cocoapods.
