---

Nightly builds represent our current development snapshot and contain unreleased features and fixes. Use nightly builds to verify if a feature or fix is working as intended. These builds are automated to run every weekday. No historical builds are kept: Each new build replaces the previous build.

Nightly builds haven’t undergone the same quality control process as our releases and might be built using a beta version of Xcode. As such, they aren’t suitable for use in production.

An unedited changelog listing the latest changes is included in the [nightly DMG](https://my.nutrient.io/download/binary/ios/nightly). This information isn’t available anywhere else.

These builds are currently incompatible with TestFlight due to the format of the `CFBundleShortVersionString` in the `Info.plist`.

Nightly builds can be installed using manual integration or CocoaPods, but not using Swift Package Manager.

## Installing nightly builds with manual integration

Follow the instructions for [getting started with Nutrient using manual integration](https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/ios/getting-started/ios-manual-integration.md), but download the [nightly DMG](https://my.nutrient.io/download/binary/ios/nightly) instead of the latest DMG.

## Installing nightly builds with CocoaPods

Follow the instructions for [getting started with Nutrient using CocoaPods](https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/ios/getting-started/ios-cocoapods.md), but use `nightly.podspec` instead of `latest.podspec`. Your Podfile should look like this:

```ruby

use_frameworks!

target :YourTargetName do
	pod 'PSPDFKit',
	    podspec: 'https://my.nutrient.io/pspdfkit-ios/nightly.podspec'
end

```
