Quickstart: Build an Immersive Reader app
Immersive Reader is an inclusively designed tool that implements proven techniques to improve reading comprehension for new readers, language learners, and people with learning differences such as dyslexia. You can use Immersive Reader in your applications to isolate text to improve focus, display pictures for commonly used words, highlight parts of speech, read selected text out loud, translate words and phrases in real-time, and more.
In this quickstart guide, you build a web app from scratch using C#, and integrate Immersive Reader using the client library. A full working sample of this quickstart is available on GitHub.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. You can create one for free.
- An Immersive Reader resource configured for Microsoft Entra authentication. Follow these instructions to get set up. Save the output of your session into a text file so you can configure the environment properties.
- Visual Studio 2022.
Create a web app project
Create a new project in Visual Studio, using the ASP.NET Core Web Application template with built-in Model-View-Controller, and ASP.NET Core 6. Name the project QuickstartSampleWebApp.
Set up authentication
Right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer and choose Manage User Secrets. This opens a file called secrets.json. This file isn't checked into source control. To learn more, see Safe storage of app secrets. Replace the contents of secrets.json with the following, supplying the values given when you created your Immersive Reader resource.
Important
Remember to never post secrets publicly. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials like Azure Key Vault.
{
"TenantId": "YOUR_TENANT_ID",
"ClientId": "YOUR_CLIENT_ID",
"ClientSecret": "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
"Subdomain": "YOUR_SUBDOMAIN"
}
Install Identity Client NuGet package
The following code uses objects from the Microsoft.Identity.Client NuGet package so you need to add a reference to that package in your project.
Important
The Microsoft.IdentityModel.Clients.ActiveDirectory NuGet package and Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL) have been deprecated. No new features have been added since June 30, 2020. We strongly encourage you to upgrade. For more information, see the migration guide.
Open the NuGet Package Manager Console from Tools -> NuGet Package Manager -> Package Manager Console and run the following command:
Install-Package Microsoft.Identity.Client -Version 4.59.0
Update the controller to acquire the token
Open Controllers\HomeController.cs, and add the following code after the using statements at the top of the file.
using Microsoft.Identity.Client;
Configure the controller to obtain the Microsoft Entra ID values from secrets.json. At the top of the HomeController class, after public class HomeController : Controller {, add the following code.
private readonly string TenantId; // Azure subscription TenantId
private readonly string ClientId; // Microsoft Entra ApplicationId
private readonly string ClientSecret; // Microsoft Entra Application Service Principal password
private readonly string Subdomain; // Immersive Reader resource subdomain (resource 'Name' if the resource was created in the Azure portal, or 'CustomSubDomain' option if the resource was created with Azure CLI PowerShell. Check the Azure portal for the subdomain on the Endpoint in the resource Overview page, for example, 'https://[SUBDOMAIN].cognitiveservices.azure.com/')
private IConfidentialClientApplication _confidentialClientApplication;
private IConfidentialClientApplication ConfidentialClientApplication
{
get {
if (_confidentialClientApplication == null) {
_confidentialClientApplication = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(ClientId)
.WithClientSecret(ClientSecret)
.WithAuthority($"https://login.windows.net/{TenantId}")
.Build();
}
return _confidentialClientApplication;
}
}
public HomeController(Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.IConfiguration configuration)
{
TenantId = configuration["TenantId"];
ClientId = configuration["ClientId"];
ClientSecret = configuration["ClientSecret"];
Subdomain = configuration["Subdomain"];
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(TenantId))
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("TenantId is null! Did you add that info to secrets.json?");
}
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ClientId))
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("ClientId is null! Did you add that info to secrets.json?");
}
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(ClientSecret))
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("ClientSecret is null! Did you add that info to secrets.json?");
}
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Subdomain))
{
throw new ArgumentNullException("Subdomain is null! Did you add that info to secrets.json?");
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Get a Microsoft Entra ID authentication token
/// </summary>
public async Task<string> GetTokenAsync()
{
const string resource = "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/";
var authResult = await ConfidentialClientApplication.AcquireTokenForClient(
new[] { $"{resource}/.default" })
.ExecuteAsync()
.ConfigureAwait(false);
return authResult.AccessToken;
}
[HttpGet]
public async Task<JsonResult> GetTokenAndSubdomain()
{
try
{
string tokenResult = await GetTokenAsync();
return new JsonResult(new { token = tokenResult, subdomain = Subdomain });
}
catch (Exception e)
{
string message = "Unable to acquire Microsoft Entra token. Check the console for more information.";
Debug.WriteLine(message, e);
return new JsonResult(new { error = message });
}
}
Add sample content
First, open Views\Shared\Layout.cshtml. Before the line </head>, add the following code:
@RenderSection("Styles", required: false)
Now add sample content to this web app. Open Views\Home\Index.cshtml and replace all automatically generated code with this sample:
@{
ViewData["Title"] = "Immersive Reader C# Quickstart";
}
@section Styles {
<style type="text/css">

Notice that all of the text has a lang attribute, which describes the languages of the text. This attribute helps the Immersive Reader provide relevant language and grammar features.
Add JavaScript to handle launching Immersive Reader
The Immersive Reader library provides functionality such as launching the Immersive Reader, and rendering Immersive Reader buttons. To learn more, see the JavaScript SDK reference.
At the bottom of Views\Home\Index.cshtml, add the following code:
@section Scripts
{
<script src="https://ircdname.azureedge.net/immersivereadersdk/immersive-reader-sdk.1.4.0.js"></script>
<script>
function getTokenAndSubdomainAsync() {
return new Promise(function (resolve, reject) {
$.ajax({
url: "@Url.Action("GetTokenAndSubdomain", "Home")",
type: "GET",
success: function (data) {
if (data.error) {
reject(data.error);
} else {
resolve(data);
}
},
error: function (err) {
reject(err);
}
});
});
}
$(".immersive-reader-button").click(function () {
handleLaunchImmersiveReader();
});
function handleLaunchImmersiveReader() {
getTokenAndSubdomainAsync()
.then(function (response) {
const token = response["token"];
const subdomain = response["subdomain"];
// Learn more about chunk usage and supported MIME types https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/immersive-reader/reference#chunk
const data = {
title: $("#ir-title").text(),
chunks: [{
content: $("#ir-content").html(),
mimeType: "text/html"
}]
};
// Learn more about options https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/immersive-reader/reference#options
const options = {
"onExit": exitCallback,
"uiZIndex": 2000
};
ImmersiveReader.launchAsync(token, subdomain, data, options)
.catch(function (error) {
alert("Error in launching the Immersive Reader. Check the console.");
console.log(error);
});
})
.catch(function (error) {
alert("Error in getting the Immersive Reader token and subdomain. Check the console.");
console.log(error);
});
}
function exitCallback() {
console.log("This is the callback function. It is executed when the Immersive Reader closes.");
}
</script>
}
Build and run the app
From the menu bar, select Debug > Start Debugging, or press F5 to start the application.
In your browser, you should see:
Launch the Immersive Reader
When you select the Immersive Reader button, the Immersive Reader launches with the content on the page.
Next step
In this quickstart, you build a web app from scratch and integrate Immersive Reader using the Immersive Reader client library. A full working sample of this quickstart is available on GitHub.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. You can create one for free.
- An Immersive Reader resource configured for Microsoft Entra authentication. Follow these instructions to get set up. Save the output of your session into a text file so you can configure the environment properties.
- An IDE such as Visual Studio Code.
Create a Node.js web app with Express
Create a Node.js web app by using the express-generator tool.
npm install express-generator -g
express --view=pug quickstart-nodejs
cd quickstart-nodejs
Install yarn dependencies, and add dependencies request and dotenv.
yarn
yarn add request
yarn add dotenv
Install the axios and qs libraries.
npm install axios qs
Set up authentication
Create a new file called .env in the root of your project. Paste the following code into it, supplying the values given when you created your Immersive Reader resource. Don't include quotation marks or the { and } characters.
Important
Remember to never post secrets publicly. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials like Azure Key Vault.
TENANT_ID={YOUR_TENANT_ID}
CLIENT_ID={YOUR_CLIENT_ID}
CLIENT_SECRET={YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET}
SUBDOMAIN={YOUR_SUBDOMAIN}
Be sure not to commit this file into source control, since it contains secrets that shouldn't be made public.
Next, open app.js and add the following code to the top of the file. This loads the properties defined in the .env file as environment variables into Node.
require('dotenv').config();
Update the router to acquire the token
Open the routes\index.js file and replace the automatically generated code with the following code.
This code creates an API endpoint that acquires a Microsoft Entra ID authentication token using your service principal password. It also retrieves the subdomain. It then returns an object containing the token and subdomain.
var axios = require('axios');
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();
var qs = require('qs');
/* GET home page. */
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
});
router.get('/GetTokenAndSubdomain', function(req, res) {
try {
var config ={
headers: {
'content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
}
}
var data = {
grant_type: 'client_credentials',
client_id: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
client_secret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
resource: 'https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/'
};
var url = `https://login.windows.net/${process.env.TENANT_ID}/oauth2/token`
console.log(qs.stringify(data));
axios.post(url, qs.stringify(data), config)
.then(function (response) {
var token = response.data.access_token;
var subdomain = process.env.SUBDOMAIN;
return res.send({token, subdomain});
})
.catch(function (response) {
if (response.status !== 200) {
return res.send({error : "Unable to acquire Microsoft Entra token. Check the debugger for more information."})
}
});
} catch (error) {
console.log(error);
return res.status(500).send('CogSvcs IssueToken error');
}
});
module.exports = router;
The GetTokenAndSubdomain API endpoint should be secured behind some form of authentication, such as OAuth, to prevent unauthorized users from obtaining tokens to use against your Immersive Reader service and billing; that work is beyond the scope of this quickstart.

Build and run the app
Our web app is now ready. Start the app by running:
npm start
Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see:
Launch the Immersive Reader
When you select the Immersive Reader button, the Immersive Reader launches with the content on the page.
Next step
In this quickstart, you build an Android app from scratch and integrate the Immersive Reader. A full working sample of this quickstart is available on GitHub.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. You can create one for free.
- An Immersive Reader resource configured for Microsoft Entra authentication. Follow these instructions to get set up. Save the output of your session into a text file so you can configure the environment properties.
- Git.
- Android Studio.
Create an Android project
Start a new project in Android Studio.
In the Templates window, select Empty Views Activity, and then select Next.
Configure the project
Name the project QuickstartJava, and select a location to save it. Select Java as the programming language, and then select Finish.
Set up assets and authentication
To create a new assets folder, right-click on app and select Folder -> Assets Folder from the dropdown.
Right-click on assets and select New -> File. Name the file env.
Add the following names and values, and supply values as appropriate. Don't commit this env file into source control because it contains secrets that shouldn't be made public.
TENANT_ID=<YOUR_TENANT_ID>
CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
SUBDOMAIN=<YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
Important
Remember to never post secrets publicly. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials like Azure Key Vault.
Add dependencies
Replace the existing dependencies in the build.gradle file with the following implementations to enable gson (JSON parsing and serialization) and dotenv to reference the variables defined in the env file. You might need to sync the project again when you implement activities later in this quickstart.
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
implementation 'com.google.code.gson:gson:2.8.6'
implementation 'io.github.cdimascio:java-dotenv:5.1.3'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.1'
}
Update app strings and layout resources
Replace the content in res/values/strings.xml with the following strings to be used in the app.

<string name="geographyTextEn">The study of Earth's landforms is called physical geography. Landforms can be mountains and valleys. They can also be glaciers, lakes or rivers. Landforms are sometimes called physical features. It is important for students to know about the physical geography of Earth. The seasons, the atmosphere and all the natural processes of Earth affect where people are able to live. Geography is one of a combination of factors that people use to decide where they want to live. The physical features of a region are often rich in resources. Within a nation, mountain ranges become natural borders for settlement areas. In the U.S., major mountain ranges are the Sierra Nevada, the Rocky Mountains, and the Appalachians. Fresh water sources also influence where people settle. People need water to drink. They also need it for washing. Throughout history, people have settled near fresh water. Living near a water source helps ensure that people have the water they need. There was an added bonus, too. Water could be used as a travel route for people and goods. Many Americans live near popular water sources, such as the Mississippi River, the Colorado River and the Great Lakes.Mountains and deserts have been settled by fewer people than the plains areas. However, they have valuable resources of their own.</string>

Set up the app Java code
In the java/com.example.quickstartjava/ folder, there's an existing MainActivity.java Java class file. This folder is where the app logic is authored.
Replace MainActivity.java contents with the following code. There are a few classes referenced in code that don't yet exist and will be created later.
/**
* Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
* Licensed under the MIT License.
*/
package com.example.quickstartjava;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
/**
* Creates a new activity, finds its content and the Immersive Reader button.
* When clicked, the app sends the content to the Immersive Reader SDK and
* launches the Immersive Reader.
*/
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
final TextView irTitle = findViewById(R.id.Title);
final TextView irText1 = findViewById(R.id.Content1);
final TextView irText2 = findViewById(R.id.Content2);
final Button immersiveReaderButton = findViewById(R.id.LaunchImmersiveReaderButton);
immersiveReaderButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View view) {
List<ReadableTextChunk> readableTextChunks = new ArrayList<>();
readableTextChunks.add(new ReadableTextChunk(irText1.getText().toString(), "en"));
readableTextChunks.add(new ReadableTextChunk(irText2.getText().toString(), "fr"));
ReadableContent readableContent = new ReadableContent(irTitle.getText().toString(), readableTextChunks);
ImmersiveReader immersiveReader = new ImmersiveReader(MainActivity.this, new IRAuthenticator());
immersiveReader.read(readableContent);
}
});
}
}
We'll create 16 more Java class files in the java/com.example.quickstartjava/ folder. Each of these classes is used by the app to integrate the Immersive Reader SDK. With each new file, there are a few classes referenced in code that don't yet exist and will be created later. After all classes are created, there should be no null reference errors.
To create a new ImmersiveReader.java Java class file, right-click the java/com.example.quickstartjava/ folder, select New, and then select Java Class. Enter ImmersiveReader.
Use this same method to create Java class files for each new Java class file you create.
Replace ImmersiveReader.java contents with the following code:
/**

Add the app HTML to the web view
The web view implementation needs HTML to work. Right-click the /assets folder, create a new file, and name it immersiveReader.html.
Add the following HTML and JavaScript. This code adds the Immersive Reader SDK to the app and uses it to open the Immersive Reader by using the app code we wrote.

Set up app permissions
Because the application needs to make network calls to the Immersive Reader SDK to function, we need to ensure the app permissions are configured to allow network access. Replace the content of /manifests/AndroidManifest.xml with the following XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.quickstartjava">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".IRActivity"
android:multiprocess="true" />
</application>
</manifest>
Run the app
Use Android Studio to run the app on a device emulator. When you select Immersive Reader, the Immersive Reader opens with the content on the app.
Next step
In this quickstart, you build an Android app from scratch and integrate the Immersive Reader. A full working sample of this quickstart is available on GitHub.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. You can create one for free.
- An Immersive Reader resource configured for Microsoft Entra authentication. Follow these instructions to get set up. Save the output of your session into a text file so you can configure the environment properties.
- Git.
- Android Studio.
Create an Android project
Start a new project in Android Studio.
In the Templates window, select Empty Views Activity, and then select Next.
Configure the project
Name the project QuickstartKotlin, and select a location to save it. Select Kotlin as the programming language, and then select Finish.
Set up assets and authentication
To create a new assets folder, right-click on app and select Folder -> Assets Folder from the dropdown.
Right-click on assets and select New -> File. Name the file env.
Add the following names and values, and supply values as appropriate. Don't commit this env file into source control because it contains secrets that shouldn't be made public.
TENANT_ID=<YOUR_TENANT_ID>
CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
CLIENT_SECRET=<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
SUBDOMAIN=<YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
Important
Remember to never post secrets publicly. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials like Azure Key Vault.
Add dependencies
Replace the existing dependencies in the build.gradle file with the following implementations to enable coroutines (asynchronous programming), gson (JSON parsing and serialization), and dotenv to reference the variables defined in the env file. You might need to sync the project again when you implement MainActivity.kt in a later step in this quickstart.
dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
implementation"org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.0.2'
implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:1.0.2'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3'
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlinx:kotlinx-coroutines-core:1.1.1"

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.1.1'
}
Update app strings and layout resources
Replace the content in res/values/strings.xml with the following strings to be used in the app.
<resources>

<string name="geographyTextEn">The study of Earth's landforms is called physical geography. Landforms can be mountains and valleys. They can also be glaciers, lakes or rivers. Landforms are sometimes called physical features. It is important for students to know about the physical geography of Earth. The seasons, the atmosphere and all the natural processes of Earth affect where people are able to live. Geography is one of a combination of factors that people use to decide where they want to live.The physical features of a region are often rich in resources. Within a nation, mountain ranges become natural borders for settlement areas. In the U.S., major mountain ranges are the Sierra Nevada, the Rocky Mountains, and the Appalachians. Fresh water sources also influence where people settle. People need water to drink. They also need it for washing. Throughout history, people have settled near fresh water. Living near a water source helps ensure that people have the water they need. There was an added bonus, too. Water could be used as a travel route for people and goods. Many Americans live near popular water sources, such as the Mississippi River, the Colorado River and the Great Lakes.Mountains and deserts have been settled by fewer people than the plains areas. However, they have valuable resources of their own.</string>
<string name="geographyTextFr">L\'étude des reliefs de la Terre est appelée géographie physique. Les reliefs peuvent être des montagnes et des vallées. Il peut aussi s\'agira de glaciers, delacs ou de rivières. Les reliefs sont parfois appelés caractéristiques physiques. Il est important que les élèves connaissent la géographie physique de laTerre. Les saisons, l\'atmosphère et tous les processus naturels de la Terre affectent l\'endroit où les gens sont capables de vivre. La géographie est l\'un desfacteurs que les gens utilisent pour décider où ils veulent vivre. Les caractéristiques physiques d\'une région sont souvent riches en ressources. Àl\'intérieur d\'une nation, les chaînes de montagnes deviennent des frontières naturelles pour les zones de peuplement. Aux États-Unis, les principaleschaînes de montagnes sont la Sierra Nevada, les montagnes Rocheuses et les Appalaches.Les sources d\'eau douce influencent également l\'endroit où lesgens s\'installent. Les gens ont besoin d\'eau pour boire. Ils en ont aussi besoin pour se laver. Tout au long de l\'histoire, les gens se sont installés près del\'eau douce. Vivre près d\'une source d\'eau permet de s\'assurer que les gens ont l\'eau dont ils ont besoin. Il y avait un bonus supplémentaire, aussi. L\'eaupourrait être utilisée comme voie de voyage pour les personnes et les marchandises. Beaucoup d\'Américains vivent près des sources d\'eau populaires,telles que le fleuve Mississippi, le fleuve Colorado et les Grands Lacs.Mountains et les déserts ont été installés par moins de gens que les zones desplaines. Cependant, ils disposent de ressources précieuses.Les gens ont une réponse.</string>

You might need to sync the project again.
Add the app HTML to the web view
The web view implementation needs HTML to work. Right-click the /assets folder, create a new file, and name it immersiveReader.html.
Add the following HTML and JavaScript. This code adds the Immersive Reader SDK to the app and uses it to open the Immersive Reader by using the app code we wrote.

Set up app permissions
Because the application needs to make network calls to the Immersive Reader SDK to function, we need to ensure the app permissions are configured to allow network access. Replace the content of /manifests/AndroidManifest.xml with the following XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.quickstartkotlin">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
Run the app
Use Android Studio to run the app on a device emulator. When you select Immersive Reader, the Immersive Reader opens with the content on the app.
Next step
In this quickstart, you build an iOS app from scratch and integrate the Immersive Reader. A full working sample of this quickstart is available on GitHub.
Prerequisites
- An Azure subscription. You can create one for free.
- An Immersive Reader resource configured for Microsoft Entra authentication. Follow these instructions to get set up. Save the output of your session into a text file so you can configure the environment properties.
- macOS and Xcode.
Create an Xcode project
Create a new project in Xcode.
Choose Single View App.
Set up authentication
In the top menu, select Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme....
In the Run view, select Arguments tab.
In the Environment Variables section, add the following names and values, supplying the values given when you created your Immersive Reader resource.
Important
Remember to never post secrets publicly. For production, use a secure way of storing and accessing your credentials like Azure Key Vault.
TENANT_ID=<YOUR_TENANT_ID>
CLIENT_ID=<YOUR_CLIENT_ID>
CLIENT_SECRET<YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET>
SUBDOMAIN=<YOUR_SUBDOMAIN>
Set up the app to run without a storyboard
Open AppDelegate.swift and replace the file with the following code.
import UIKit
@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {
var window: UIWindow?
var navigationController: UINavigationController?
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
window = UIWindow(frame: UIScreen.main.bounds)
if let window = window {
let mainViewController = LaunchViewController()
navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: mainViewController)
window.rootViewController = navigationController
window.makeKeyAndVisible()
}
return true
}
func applicationWillResignActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Sent when the application is about to move from active to inactive state. This can occur for certain types of temporary interruptions (such as an incoming phone call or SMS message) or when the user quits the application and it begins the transition to the background state.
// Use this method to pause ongoing tasks, disable timers, and invalidate graphics rendering callbacks. Games should use this method to pause the game.
}
func applicationDidEnterBackground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Use this method to release shared resources, save user data, invalidate timers, and store enough application state information to restore your application to its current state in case it is terminated later.
// If your application supports background execution, this method is called instead of applicationWillTerminate: when the user quits.
}
func applicationWillEnterForeground(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called as part of the transition from the background to the active state; here you can undo many of the changes made on entering the background.
}
func applicationDidBecomeActive(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Restart any tasks that were paused (or not yet started) while the application was inactive. If the application was previously in the background, optionally refresh the user interface.
}
func applicationWillTerminate(_ application: UIApplication) {
// Called when the application is about to terminate. Save data if appropriate. See also applicationDidEnterBackground:.
}

Add a file to the Resources folder named iFrameMessaging.js and add the following code.
window.addEventListener("message", function(message) {
if(message.data == "ImmersiveReader-ReadyForContent") {
window.webkit.messageHandlers.readyForContent.postMessage(null);
}
if(message.data == "ImmersiveReader-LaunchSuccessful") {

}
if(message.data == "ImmersiveReader-TokenExpired") {
window.webkit.messageHandlers.tokenExpired.postMessage(null);
}
if(message.data == "ImmersiveReader-Throttled") {
window.webkit.messageHandlers.throttled.postMessage(null);
}
});
function sendContentToReader(message) {
document.getElementById('immersiveReaderIframe').contentWindow.postMessage(JSON.stringify({messageType:'Content', messageValue: message}), '*');
}
