# Get started

This section helps you set up the NFC Wallet SDK in your iOS **digital wallet application**.

### Before you begin

* Review what’s included in the SDK delivery package in [Deliverables](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/general/deliverables.md).
* Check the supported iOS versions in [Supported environment](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/get-started/configuration/1.-binary-integration.md#supported-environment).

### Set up the SDK

Use these guides to integrate the NFC Wallet SDK into your iOS **digital wallet application**.

* Configure your project: [Configuration](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/get-started/configuration.md).
* Use the iOS **Sample App** as an end-to-end example: [Sample App](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/get-started/sample-app.md).

### Enable contactless payment

To support contactless payment, start the **Apple HCE entitlement** process early.

* Follow Apple’s instructions in [Apple HCE entitlement](https://developer.apple.com/support/hce-transactions-in-apps/).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Review Thales Apple HCE entitlement guidance for contactless payment in [Check prerequisites](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/implement-nfc-wallet/make-payments/implement-contactless-payment/1.-check-prerequisites.md).
{% endhint %}

### Next steps

Use these resources after you complete configuration and initialization.

* **Browse the API reference:** [iOS API](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/ios-api.md)
* **Implement the core flow:** [Implement NFC Wallet](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/implement-nfc-wallet.md)\
  Start with the contactless capability check. Then enroll the wallet and complete **Tokenization**, card management, and payment.
* **Prepare for release:** [Security guidance](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/security-and-privacy/security-guidance.md)\
  Apply security requirements before production rollout. Review logging, data handling, and hardening recommendations.

### Additional features

Add optional capabilities after you implement the core flow.
