OTRKit is an Objective-C wrapper for the OTRv3 encrypted messaging protocol, using libotr. This library was designed for use with the encrypted iOS messaging app ChatSecure, but should theoretically work for Mac OS X as well with some minor tweaking to the build scripts.
To compile libotr and dependencies for iOS, run the included script, build-all.sh.
$ bash build-all.sh
We now support Cocoapods but haven't pushed OTRKit.podspec to the public repository yet. Feel free to use the one in this repo in the meantime, but the public API may change slightly before release.
pod 'OTRKit', :git => 'https://github.com/ChatSecure/OTRKit.git'
Check out OTRKit.h because it is the most up-to-date reference at the moment.
Implement the required delegate methods somewhere that makes sense for your project.
