Create an IdeaScale community for your iPhone Application

Step 3: Choose ‘Suggestion Box’ Community Type.

Step 4: Finish.

Obtain your API Key for your IdeaScale Community

Step 1: Visit the IdeaScale you created above. Click on the link labeled ‘Developers’ in the footer. It should be: http://.ideascale.com/a/ideascaleStatic.do?mode=api

Step 3: Open the IdeaScale example application in Xcode.

Step 4: Optionally compile & run the IdeaScale Example application in the Simulator.

Step 7: Add the ‘-ObjC’ and ‘-load_all’ linker flags to your project for All Configurations by right-clicking the top level of your project and selecting ‘Get Info’.

[ISFeedback pushOntoViewController:self withApiKey:kISServiceExampleAPIKey];

Step 9: You are done! When the line of code from Step 8 is executed, you should see something like this:
