To start making authenticated API calls to the Box API with the **Box iOS SDK**, an **Access Token** will be needed. The simplest way to generate a valid
token is to generate a new **Box Platform App** and manually generate a short lived developer token.

The developer token is generated through the developer console UI and will be
valid for one hour before having to be manually refreshed.

## Set up a Box app

<Grid columns="2">
  <Choose option="ios.app_type" value="create_new" color="blue">
    # Create a new Box app

    Create and configure a new Box JWT application from which a developer
    token may be generated.
  </Choose>

  <Choose option="ios.app_type" value="use_own" color="blue">
    # Use an existing app

    Use one of your existing Box JWT applications from the Box developer
    console.
  </Choose>
</Grid>

<Choice option="ios.app_type" value="create_new" color="blue">
  # Create a new Box app

  To create a new Box application that may be used to generate a developer
  token, use the following steps.

  1. Go to the [Developer Console][devconsole] > **My Platform Apps**.
  2. Select **Create Platform App**.
  3. Select **Platform App** as the type of application to create, and click **Next**.
  4. Enter the **App Name**, an optional **Description** and **Purpose** of the App. Confirm with **Next**.
  5. Select **User Authentication (OAuth 2.0)** as the authentication method, and click **Create App**
  6. Optionally, scroll to the **Application Scopes** section of the same screen and select any additional permissions you want to enable for this application.
  7. At the top of the page click the button to **Save Changes**.
</Choice>

<Choice option="ios.app_type" value="use_own" color="blue">
  # Use an Existing JWT Box application

  If you have an existing JWT based Box application in your
  [developer console][devconsole] that you
  would like to use, skip to the next step.
</Choice>

## Generate a developer token

Now that an application is available, we need to create a developer token that
may be used to authenticate the Box iOS SDK to start making calls to the Box
APIs.

1. Go to the [Developer Console][devconsole]
2. Load the application that you would like to use
3. In the left navigation menu, click on **Configuration**
4. Under **Developer Token**, click the **Generate Developer Token** button
