Distributing Your Application
Windows Redistributables
When distributing any application built against HOOPS Exchange or Advanced Publishing, you will need to distribute HOOPS binaries as well. In general you should deploy all HOOPS binaries excluding those that you have identified as unnecessary for your build.
For instance, if you provide users with U3D support you will want to distribute your application with u3dstep30.dll.
Binaries
The following table lists the binaries in the _bin_ folder that are required for distributing a HOOPS Exchange application. All items listed as “Core logic” must be included with your product - all others are optional.
Some of the 3rd-Party Softwares used for the core logic are also used in some of HOOPS Exchange readers and writers. Those have not been mentioned.

On macOS, HOOPS Exchange is distributed in one dynamic library file, libA3DLIBS.VERSION.dylib (and a symbolic link to it: libA3DLIBS.dylib).
On Android, HOOPS Exchange is distributed in one dynamic library file, libA3DLIBS.so.VERSION (and a symbolic link to it: libA3DLIBS.so).
HOOPS Exchange for iOS is provided as a static library.
Thus no binary is required to be distributed with your application.
Resources
The resource directory is to be used by Advanced Publishing. It is advised to always include this directory in a distribution to avoid unpredictable behavior on specific customer platforms.
Also, resourceFont contains the Adobe MyriadCAD OpenType font which is provided with Advanced Publishing to ensure standard GD&T symbols are available. This font must be installed to ensure accurate display of PMI data. The MyriadCAD font may only be redistributed with HOOPS Exchange enabled applications.
