Add hCaptcha to your project. This library automatically handles hCaptcha's events and returns a validation token, presenting the challenge via a modal if needed.
To secure your application, you need to send the token received here to your backend for server-side validation via the api.hcaptcha.com/siteverify
endpoint.
HCaptcha is available through CocoaPods and packaged for Carthage and SPM (Swift Package Manager).
To install it, simply add the following line to your dependencies file:
pod "HCaptcha" # or pod "HCaptcha/RxSwift"
github "hCaptcha/HCaptcha-ios-sdk"
Carthage will create two different frameworks named HCaptcha
and HCaptcha_RxSwift
, the latter containing the RxSwift extension for the HCaptcha framework.
Known issues:
xcframework
so use --no-use-binaries
- Carthage/Carthage#3130RxSwift
build issue, also avoidable via --no-use-binaries
- Carthage/Carthage#3243Standard SPM formula: uses Package.swift
Platform Requirements iOS ✅ >= 12.0 WatchOS ✖️Once you have the hCaptcha apiKey
(also referred to as sitekey
, which can be obtained at https://dashboard.hcaptcha.com/sites
),
the hCaptcha apiKey
can be specified in Info.plist
keys or can be passed as parameters when instantiating HCaptcha()
.
For the Info.plist configuration, add HCaptchaKey
(sitekey) and HCaptchaDomain
(with a protocol, i.e. https://) to your Info.plist.
HCaptchaKey
is your hCaptcha sitekey.HCaptchaDomain
should be a string like https://www.your.com
If you prefer to keep the information out of the Info.plist, you can instead use:
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha( apiKey: "YOUR_HCAPTCHA_KEY", baseURL: URL(string: "YOUR_HCAPTCHA_DOMAIN")! ) ...
Notes:
baseURL
can be http://localhost
. This value is mainly used for your convenience in analytics.baseURL
should match HCaptchaDomain
if specified; it controls the URI used to initialize the hCaptcha session. Example: https://www.your.com
If you are looking for a complete example please check links below:
By default, Locale.current
is used to automatically set the language for the SDK, but this behavior can be changed by explicitly passing the locale
parameter to HCaptcha
:
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha( ... locale: Locale(identifier: "zh-CN"), ... ) ...Setting the host override (optional)
Since this SDK uses local resources, you may want to set a host override for better tracking and enforcement of siteverify parameters.
You can achieve this by passing the extra param host
:
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha( ... host: "your-domain.com", ... ) ...
Note: this should be the bare host, i.e. not including a protocol prefix like https://.
The SDK supports three built-in themes: light
, dark
, and contrast
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha( ... theme: "dark", // "light" or "contrast" ... ) ...
For Enterprise sitekeys we also support custom themes via the customTheme
parameter, described below.
If you are an Enterprise user with first-party hosting access, you can use your own endpoint (i.e. verify.your.com).
You can then enable it in your code:
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha( ... endpoint: URL("https://custom.endpoint")!, ... ) ...More params for Enterprise (optional)
Enterprise params like:
rqdata
(string)reportapi
(string)assethost
(string)imghost
(string)sentry
(bool)customTheme
(string representation of JS Object or JSON; see Enterprise docs)Can be passed via HCaptcha(...)
Please see the hCaptcha Enterprise documentation for more details.
Enabling the visible checkbox flowThis iOS SDK assumes by default that you want an "invisible" checkbox, i.e. that triggering the hCaptcha flow from within your app should either return a token or show the user a challenge directly. (Note: "invisible" refers to the checkbox. If you want no or few visual challenges, choose Passive or 99.9% Passive as the behavior type for the sitekey in the hCaptcha dashboard.)
If you instead want the classic "normal" or "compact" checkbox behavior of showing a checkbox to tick and then either closing or showing a challenge, you can pass size
to the HCaptcha initializer.
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha(size: .compact)
And you will now get the desired behavior.
Using landscape instead of portrait orientationThe orientation
argument can be set either .portrait
or .landscape
orientation to adjust challenge modal behavior.
let hcaptcha = try? HCaptcha(orientation: .landscape)
By default, orientation is portrait and does not reflow.
However, if you have an app used exclusively in landscape mode (e.g. a game) then you can also switch the challenge UI to match this design choice.
This SDK allows you to receive interaction events, for your analytics via the onEvent
method. At the moment the SDK supports:
open
fires when hCaptcha is opened and a challenge is visible to an app userexpired
fires when the passcode response expires and the user must re-verifychallengeExpired
fires when the user display of a challenge times out with no answerclose
fires when the user dismisses a challenge.error
fires when an internal error happens during challenge verification, for example a network error. Details about the error will be provided by the data
param, as in the example below. Note: This event is not intended for error handling, but only for analytics purposes. For error handling please see the validate
API call docs.You can check the implementation details in:
Each emitted token has an expiration time. Once this time is reached, you will receive a .sessionTimeout
error or an .expired
event in the onEvent
closure, if it is set.
However, this error
/event
will not be emitted in the following cases:
HCaptchaResult.dematerialize()
is called; in this case, the token is considered consumed.HCaptcha.stop()
is called; in this case, the SDK stops all processing, and no errors or events will be emitted.Note that Enterprise customers have additional options: please contact support for guidance if necessary.
Disable new token fetch on expiryBy default the SDK will automatically fetch a new token upon expiry once you have requested a token via validate
. This behavior can be adjusted by passing resetOnError: false
to the validate
call:
hcaptcha.validate(on: view, resetOnError: false) { result in
...
}

Q. I'm getting a "Could not load embedded HTML" exception. What does this mean?
A. Most likely you have not included an asset in your build. Please double-check assets, and see the example app for more details.
Q. I'm getting "xcconfig: unable to open file" after upgrading the SDK. (Or changing SDK and running Example app.)
A. In your app or the Example app dir, run pod deintegrate && pod install
to refresh paths.
Q: The challenge modal is displayed, but I can't interact with it. How do I fix this?
A: There are several ways this can happen:
Your app called UIApplication.shared.beginIgnoringInteractionEvents()
, which prevents any user interaction, before calling the execute method of the SDK. Make sure to call UIApplication.shared.endIgnoringInteractionEvents()
to re-enable interaction before executing the SDK token request if you use this method.
You may have unintentionally added a transparent overlay over the SDK's view layer. This can be checked with the view debugger
