I'm following the tutorial here to integrate Apple Pay in a native swift app. I've completed all the steps and am currently attempting to test on a physical device.
Unfortunately the payment fails after a long wait, looking at the network traffic it looks like https://api/stripe.com/v1/tokens is timing out, Please find my code for creating an Apple Pay context below (empty strings are sensitive info that I don't want to share but are usually populated);
private func makePayment() {
let merchantIdentifier = ""
let paymentRequest = Stripe.StripeAPI.paymentRequest(withMerchantIdentifier: merchantIdentifier, country: "GB", currency: "GBP")
paymentRequest.paymentSummaryItems = [
PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Payment", amount: amount),
PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "Service Charge", amount: 0.05),
PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "", amount: NSDecimalNumber(value: amount.doubleValue + 0.05))
]
guard let context = STPApplePayContext(paymentRequest: paymentRequest, delegate: self) else { return }
context.presentApplePay(completion: nil)
}
I have recreated the merchant ID and certificate etc. and made sure the merchant identifier matches the one on stripe.

I am getting the Invalid user credentials when i am trying to log in with paypal id. I am sure i have entered the correct client ID of the live account and its working successfully on Sandbox

I am in the process of developing a custom Bitcoin wallet, I am able to generate the public/private keys by using Yenom/BitcoinKit. I need to send BTC to another wallet for which I am trying to use BitcoinKit. But I could not send Btc. How do I do this? can we use another Library other than BitcoinKit to send Btc from one wallet to another Wallet ?
So how do I transfer BTC from one wallet to another in Swift, please
advise.
Please check the following link
https://github.com/yenom/BitcoinKit/blob/master/Examples/Wallet/Wallet/SendViewController.swift
There is a function called sendToSomeAddress
private func sendToSomeAddress(_ amount: Int64) {
let toAddress: Address = try! AddressFactory.create("bchtest:qpytf7xczxf2mxa3gd6s30rthpts0tmtgyw8ud2sy3")
let changeAddress: Address = try! AppController.shared.wallet!.changeAddress()
var utxos: [UnspentTransaction] = []
for p in payments {
let value = p.amount
let lockScript = Script.buildPublicKeyHashOut(pubKeyHash: p.to.data)
let txHash = Data(p.txid.reversed())
let txIndex = UInt32(p.index)
print(p.txid.hex, txIndex, lockScript.hex, value)
let unspentOutput = TransactionOutput(value: value, lockingScript: lockScript)
let unspentOutpoint = TransactionOutPoint(hash: txHash, index: txIndex)
let utxo = UnspentTransaction(output: unspentOutput, outpoint: unspentOutpoint)
utxos.append(utxo)
}
let unsignedTx = createUnsignedTx(toAddress: toAddress, amount: amount, changeAddress: changeAddress, utxos: utxos)
let signedTx = signTx(unsignedTx: unsignedTx, keys: usedKeys())
peerGroup?.sendTransaction(transaction: signedTx)
}
I hope this will help
I am fetching JSON data from my server. I am using Alamofire in my code to fetch data from server.
Here's how I am decoding it:
Alamofire.request(URL_GET_DATA, method: .post).responseJSON { response in
//getting json
if let json = response.result.value {
print(json)
let newsJson : NSArray = json as! NSArray
self.parseData(data: ((newsJson[0] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "message") as? String)!)
}
}
func parseData(data : String){
//traversing through all elements of the array
let newsArray: NSArray = data as! NSArray
for i in 0..<newsArray.count{
//adding hero values to the hero list
self.newsList.append(Objectnews(
id : (newsArray[i] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "id") as? String,
heading: (newsArray[i] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "heading") as? String,
description : (newsArray[i] as AnyObject).value(forKey: "description") as? String,

How can I properly decode it based on the error in the log? I am using Swift.
Follow this step :
Creat a class called APIManager
Create Delegates method like this
//MARK : Custom Protocol Methods protocol
apiManagerDelegate:NSObjectProtocol {
func apiSuccessResponse(_ response: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>)
func APIFailureResponse(_ msgError: String)
}
//MARK : Custom Extension Methods
extension apiManagerDelegate {
func apiSuccessResponse(_ response: Dictionary<String, AnyObject>){
// leaving this empty
}
func APIFailureResponse(_ msgError: String){
// leaving this empty
} }
In Your View Controller , Conforms this Delegate Methods .
Defined method like this to consume web service in API Manager
func signUpAPI(firstName : String, lastName:String, email:String, password:String, confirmPwd:String, mobile:String, age:String, gender:String, signUp_type:Int) {
//Payload Dict
let payloadDict = [
"first_name" : firstName,
"last_name" : lastName,
"email" : email,
....
] as [String : Any]
//Showing activity indicator
---progressbar goes here
//Call Web API using Alamofire library
AlamoFireSharedManagerInit()
Alamofire.request(HCConstants.URL.HC_BASEURL + HCConstants.URL.SIGNUP, method: .post, parameters: payloadDict, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: nil).responseJSON { response in
do
{
//Checking For Error
if let error = response.result.error {
//Call failure delegate method
print(error)
//Stop AcitivityIndicator
self.hideHud()
self.delegate?.APIFailureResponse("Something goes wrong , Try after some time!!")
return
}
//Store Response
let responseValue = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: response.data!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions()) as! Dictionary<String, AnyObject>
print(responseValue)
//Check Success Flag
print(responseValue["success"] as! Bool)
if let mSuccessFlag = responseValue["success"] as? Bool {
//Failure message
if !mSuccessFlag {
self.delegate?.APIFailureResponse(responseValue["message"] as! String? ?? "Something goes wrong , Please try after some time")
}
//Call success delegate method
else {
self.delegate?.apiSuccessResponse(responseValue)
}
}
//Stop AcitivityIndicator
self.hideHud()
} catch {print("Sign up API fired exception")}
}
}
Above method parse the data and send it to the success or failure method to your viewcontroller and from there you need to populate the data and just render it .
Isn't it super easy ?
I am facing a problem in initilizing PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController returning nil in one of the device.
The device region is set to UK and I have added a UK issued card in the Apple Wallet.
The PKPaymentRequest is configured as following:
let request = PKPaymentRequest()
request.merchantIdentifier = "mymerchantid"
request.supportedNetworks = [PKPaymentNetworkVisa, PKPaymentNetworkMasterCard, PKPaymentNetworkAmex]
request.merchantCapabilities = PKMerchantCapability.Capability3DS
request.countryCode = "US"
request.currencyCode = "USD"
let price: <NSDecimalNumber>
let item : PKPaymentSummaryItem = PKPaymentSummaryItem(label: "amount", amount: price, type: .Pending)
request.paymentSummaryItems = [
item
]
let paymentAuthorizationVC = PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController(paymentRequest: request) // Returning Nil
if PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController.canMakePaymentsUsingNetworks(SupportedPaymentNetworks) // Returns true
Device: iPhone 6
OS: 10.2.2
Note: Same Card is onboared in another device for the same App its working fine.
Tried as mentioned in the below link and few other blogs- no luck
Apple pay PKPaymentauthorizationViewController always returning nil when loaded with Payment request
Looking for suggestions.
I had this same problem and the cause was using a Discover card for testing when it's not included as a supported payment network. Make sure that you are passing in all the credit card types that your user base will possibly use.
Try changing this line:
request.supportedNetworks = [PKPaymentNetworkVisa, PKPaymentNetworkMasterCard, PKPaymentNetworkAmex]
To the following:
request.supportedNetworks = [PKPaymentNetworkVisa, PKPaymentNetworkMasterCard, PKPaymentNetworkAmex, PKPaymentNetwork.discover]
In Swift3, The declaration for PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController init() is not defined as optional, even though it does return nil when it fails.
In one of my apps I need to add an ability to find a city by its name. I am using CLGeocoder to achieve this and I want it to have a behaviour identical to iOS weather app.
Below is the code which I have:
CLGeocoder().geocodeAddressString(searchBar.text!, completionHandler:{ (placemarks, error) -> Void in
guard let nonNilMarks = placemarks else {return}
for placemark in nonNilMarks {
print("locality: \(placemark.locality)")
print("name: \(placemark.name)")
print("country: \(placemark.country)")
print("formatted address: \(placemark.addressDictionary)")
}
})
It works very well in most cases. However, I recently noticed some cases when it fails. Below is the output for some examples:
Searching for 'Milan' - WORKS
locality: Optional("Milan")
name: Optional("Milan")
country: Optional("Italy")
formatted address: Optional([SubAdministrativeArea: Milan, State: Lombardy, CountryCode: IT, Country: Italy, Name: Milan, FormattedAddressLines: (
Milan,
Italy
), City: Milan])
This is the correct output
Searching for 'Italy, TX' - WORKS
There is a town in Texas called Italy. If I type 'Italy, TX' the output is:
locality: Optional("Italy")
name: Optional("Italy")
country: Optional("United States")
formatted address: Optional([SubAdministrativeArea: Ellis, State: TX, CountryCode: US, Country: United States, Name: Italy, FormattedAddressLines: (
"Italy, TX",
"United States"
), City: Italy])
Searching for 'Italy' - FAILS
When I type just 'Italy' I only get place mark for the country:
locality: nil
name: Optional("Italy")
country: Optional("Italy")
formatted address: Optional([CountryCode: IT, Name: Italy, FormattedAddressLines: (
Italy
), Country: Italy])
Searching for 'Singapore, Singapore' - WORKS
This is similar to the case with 'Italy, TX':
locality: Optional("Singapore")
name: Optional("Singapore")
country: Optional("Singapore")
formatted address: Optional([City: Singapore, CountryCode: SG, Name: Singapore, State: Singapore, FormattedAddressLines: (
Singapore,
Singapore
), Country: Singapore])
Searching for 'Singapore' - FAILS
Again, seems similar to the case with 'Italy'. It only finds a country:
locality: nil
name: Optional("Singapore")
country: Optional("Singapore")
formatted address: Optional([CountryCode: SG, Name: Singapore, FormattedAddressLines: (
Singapore
), Country: Singapore])
Preliminary guess
At this stage I though that maybe geocodeAddressString: stops searching if it finds a country with the name equal to the search parameter, so I tried changing my code to :
let addrDict = [kABPersonAddressCityKey as NSString: searchBar.text!]
CLGeocoder().geocodeAddressDictionary(addrDict, completionHandler:{ (placemarks, error) -> Void in
print(placemarks)
})
I thought that by restricting the search term to the city name I would get correct results. Unfortunately, I get the exact same behaviour!
And THEN I realised that I have problems not only with cases when city name is equal to the country name.
Searching for 'Tokyo' - EPIC FAIL
locality: nil
name: Optional("Tokyo")
country: Optional("Japan")
formatted address: Optional([CountryCode: JP, Name: Tokyo, State: Tokyo, FormattedAddressLines: (
Tokyo,
Japan
), Country: Japan])
Conclusion
Not only can CLGeocoder omit results (like in the case of 'Italy') but it can also tell me that a place does not have a locality when, in fact, it does (I believe last time I checked a map Tokyo was still a city!).
Does anyone know how I can resolve any of these issues?
Weather app does it somehow - searching for 'Singapore' or 'Italy' there gives correct results. I will be grateful for any help!
P.S. Although I am using Swift I am adding Objective-C as a tag as I think that this question is not Swift specific.
Usage what you showed is completely right and I don't think there is anything else you can do to improve results. It is still just some complicated algorithm that tries to sort results based on set of rules and some assumption.
That being sad, I understand your frustration completely because I've been there and done that. The problem is that Geocoding database is not obviously complete and Apple is not the company who leads this field - Google is. Here you can see technical note from when the Geocoder was introduced saying that there are still countries that are not supported, or just partially supported.
So my suggestion to you is that if you want to get best results (though still not fail-proof), switch to Google Geolocation. For quite great amount of requests it is free and after that it costs some very minor amounts. The success rate is around 99% for all the basic searches from what I experienced and it only gets better if you provide more information. The API options are also quite extensive.
Here are links for developer documentation for both Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/intro
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-reverse
Hope it helped at least a little.
EDIT: After I wrote this I did a little research and it seems that I am not the only person to make this claim (also including the same unsupported link).
CLGeocoder requests are rate limited and if the app goes over the threshold, further requests may not be fulfilled. CLGeocoder requires network connection which may be limiting under some circumstances and the response from the server is not always instant. If you do not insist on CLGeocoder, local database might give you more flexibility and possibly better user experience.
Take a look at the cities???.zip on GeoNames, for an alternative solution where you would import the data to a local database.
You can also do this by google API like this
//chakshu
var urlString = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/autocomplete/json?input=\(searchString)&sensor=true&key=\(Google_Browser_Key)"
var linkUrl:NSURL = NSURL(string:urlString.stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!)!
if(countElements(urlString)>0 && !urlString.isEmpty)
{
// if let fileData = String(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: urlString)!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)
if let fileData = String(contentsOfURL: linkUrl, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding, error: nil)
{
println(fileData)
var data = fileData.dataUsingEncoding(NSASCIIStringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)
var localError: NSError?
if(data != nil)
{
var json: AnyObject! = NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.MutableContainers, error: &localError)
}
}
}
I was facing this problem too here on Brazil, só I made a terrible solution for that:
public func getLatLonFrom(address: String, completion:#escaping ((CLLocation?, NSError?)->Void)) {
//LCEssentials.printInfo(title: "LOCATION", msg: "CEP: \(address)")
let geoCoder = CLGeocoder()

I force the Country Code to BR ( Brazil ) and then i can find the address by ZIP CODE. If it return NIL for placemarks on geocodeAddressString then i call the geocodeAddressDictionary and i receive the correct result.
This solution can cover major zip code from BR. It is a mess code, but for now it works.
Future projects i will use Google Maps.
