How to Enable iOS Buy SDK & Configure apple-app-site-association on Shopify Plus?

Shopify Discussion

Hi everyone,

I’m a new developer working on a Shopify Plus store and I’m trying to integrate the iOS Buy SDK for a custom iOS app. However, all related settings seem to be disabled in the admin panel, and I haven’t been able to find a way to enable them.

Shopify Plus support hasn’t been able to provide guidance on this either.

Could someone please let me know:

  • How to enable the iOS Buy SDK on a Shopify Plus store?

  • Are there any permissions or store settings that need to be adjusted first?

  • Has anyone here successfully set this up recently?

Appreciate any help or advice you can share!

Thanks.

Hi Linda,

I haven’t worked with this SDK, but from the docs it looks like you just need to:

  • Create a custom app in the store admin

  • Make sure the custom app has the admin API permissions you will need for the iOS app

  • Save the admin API token from the custom app for use later in the iOS app

  • Make products/collections available to the custom app from a product/collection admin page

  • Make API requests in the iOS app using your token from the custom app

If you have already done all of this and there is another issue, let me know!

Hi Linda, have you managed to setup the iOS Buy SDK? Have you modified the AASA file? Is it even possible?
