Overview
This Swift SDK enables digital rights management (DRM) for alternative distribution apps. Use this SDK to generate licenses for alternative app marketplaces you build with MarketplaceKit or other apps that you distribute from your website. Alternative app marketplaces use this SDK to generate a license for each app that developers distribute on the marketplace. By licensing each download individually, you provide a secure installation experience similar to the App Store.
Use this SDK’s framework to implement a license server on your website back end that’s capable of running compiled Swift code. Then, publish endpoints for your license server in a standard location that the device’s operating system expects. On an as-needed basis, the system retrieves licenses from your endpoints when a person downloads:
An alternative app marketplace from your website
An app that developers distribute on your alternative app marketplace
An app that you develop and distribute on your website

You can download this SDK from Downloads if your developer account qualifies to distribute apps from your website. For more information, see Distributing your app from your website.
