Contributing
See CONTRIBUTING.md file.
Installing and Usage
See Requirements section to check Swift, Xcode, BFKit-Swift and OS versions.
Manual
- Open and build the framework from the project (BFKit.xcodeproj)
- Import BFKit.framework into your project
- Import the framework with
import BFKit
- Enjoy!
CocoaPods
Create a Podfile in your project directory and write into:
platform :ios, '8.0' xcodeproj 'Project.xcodeproj' use_frameworks! pod 'BFKit-Swift'
Change "Project" with your real project name
Open Terminal, go to your project directory and type:
pod install
Import the framework with
import BFKit
Enjoy!
Carthage
Create a Cartfile in your project directory and write into:
github "FabrizioBrancati/BFKit-Swift"
Open Terminal, go to project directory and type:
carthage update
Include the created Framework in your project
Add Build Phase with the following contents:
/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks
Add the paths to the BFKit-Swift framework under Input Files
$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/BFKit.framework
Add the paths to the copied frameworks to the Output Files
$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)/$(FRAMEWORKS_FOLDER_PATH)/BFKit.framework
This script works around an App Store submission bug triggered by universal binaries and ensures that necessary bitcode-related files are copied when archiving
(Optional) Add Build Phase with the following contents
/usr/local/bin/carthage outdated --xcode-warnings
To automatically warn you when one of your dependencies is out of date
Import the framework with
import BFKit
Enjoy!
Swift Package Manager
Create a Package.swift file in your project directory and write into:
// swift-tools-version:5.1 import PackageDescription let package = Package( name: "Project", products: [ .executable(name: "Project", targets: ["Project"]) ], dependencies: [ .package(url: "https://github.com/FabrizioBrancati/BFKit-Swift.git", .upToNextMajor(from: "4.0.0")) ], targets: [ .target(name: "Project", dependencies: ["BFKit"]) ] )
Change "Project" with your real project name
Open Terminal, go to project directory and type:
swift build
Import the framework with
import BFKit
Enjoy!
