Our mobile team strongly recommends that the Forter SDK is installed via Swift Package Manager. However, if you are unable to install via Swift Package Manager due to security or policy reasons, Forter offers a manual installation option for the iOS SDK.

1. To download the Forter iOS SDK directly without SPM, you can use the following command:

```
   wget https://bitbucket.org/forter-mobile/forter-ios-sdk/get/master.zip
   ```

1. Make sure to remove the simulator-compatible versions of the frameworks used by your app when you submit your build to the App store. Additional information about completing the manual installation and submitting your app, please visit [Install SDK iOS Manual](https://docs.localytics.com/dev/ios.html#install-sdk-ios-manual).

Advanced configuration of the SDK can be done by initializing the SDK with a customized FTRSDKConfiguration. Consult with your Forter Implementation Engineer before changing the default configuration.
