# Configuration

After adding the SDK, you must configure your project to ensure it is properly set up before you begin using the SDK. This configuration process includes setting up necessary permissions, modifying project settings, and making any additional changes required by the SDK to work correctly on the iOS platform.

## iOS Configuration

### Project Settings

Follow the instructions below to complete the necessary configuration steps.

#### Configuring Capabilities

1. Go to the Capabilities tab in your target settings.
2. Under Background Modes, enable the following:

* Location updates
* Background fetch
* Background processing 

Once configured the settings page should resemble the image below:

#### Setting Up Background Tasks

The GIZO SDK requires the specification of a background task identifier to handle background work. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Project settings and select your target.
2. Navigate to the Info tab.
3. Add Permitted background task scheduler identifiers if required.
4. Under this, add the sub-item:

```
de.artificient.backgroundtask.task_process
de.artificient.backgroundtask.task_refresh
```

### Permissions

Configure the required iOS permissions as specified in the table below:

* LocationUsageDescription
* LocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
* LocationAlwaysUsageDescription
* LocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription
* MotionUsageDescription

### SDK License

Create a directory in the root of your project and add the `license.json` file to it. The file should follow the format shown below:

```json
{
  "license": "<license key>"
}
```
