Introduction
If you had signed up to receive communications from Apple Developer, you would have found an announcement in your Inbox this morning about the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS:
With this SDK, you can build (or extend) iOS apps that connect to the SAP Cloud Platform and the back-end data of your enterprise.
The SDK is built on Swift, Apple’s programming language that's available as open source. If you are new to Swift, see https://developer.apple.com/swift/.

The five frameworks:
