VGS Show iOS SDK

VGS Show is a product that lets you securely reveal previously tokenized/aliased data (text, images, PDFs) from Very Good Security (VGS) without that raw data ever passing through or being stored in your systems. VGSShowSDK decodes reveal responses and renders values directly into managed UI elements (VGSLabel, VGSImageView, VGSPDFView) while enforcing strict logging and masking rules.

Before you start

1. Register or log in to your VGS Dashboard.
2. A sandbox vault is pre-created; use its Vault ID in initialization.
3. Ensure you already have aliases (e.g. created via VGS Collect) to reveal. To create aliases you can use VGSCollectSDK or follow the inbound connection guide in our docs.

Integration

CocoaPods

Add to your Podfile (pin exact version for reproducibility):

pod 'VGSShowSDK', '1.3.1'

Then run:

pod install

Swift Package Manager

From Xcode: File > Add Packages… and enter:

https://github.com/verygoodsecurity/vgs-show-ios

Select version rule “Exact” and specify 1.3.1.

Or in Package.swift (exact version pin):

// ...existing code...
dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/verygoodsecurity/vgs-show-ios", exact: "1.3.1")
]
// ...existing code...
