  1. Install the Mobile SDK on your development machine. 

    1. On a Mac® computer, go to the MicroStrategy Download site and download the iOS Client file for the latest Mobile SDK.

    3. Add the custom files for the sample to the project.

      1. Expand MicroStrategyMobile, right-click the Custom folder, and choose "Add Files to "MicroStrategy Mobile.
      2. Navigate to the location where you unzipped the custom files for the sample and select them.
