I do not know how to code in Objective-C and have to get an app working with the G Suite SDK so that I can get information about members of the groups. The problem is that in September Google changed how auth requests work, so this tutorial no longer works. I know I need to switch over to using GTMAppAuth, but it's all Objective-C.
I am currently working on YouTube Data API and trying to implement functions in Swift. The following is what I did:
Install GTMAppAuth using Cocoapods.
Add bridging header and import necessary headers.
The above 2 steps didn't result in a successful compilation, since xcode can't find the headers. I manually add header search path in build settings.
After doing these steps, I can access those Objective-C class & methods from Swift classes.
For the "how to use GTMAppAuth" part, I found an example here (though I haven't test it)
https://github.com/Alder85/AppAuthSwift
Maybe you can also find some hints here.
(Sorry for that this is just my experience and may not be a complete answer. I am new here in the stackoverflow and have too little reputations to post a comment.)

There are several questions addressing this issue already, but all of them (I think) are in reference to earlier versions of Parse using an objective-C bridging header to connect the framework. I am using the latest version of Parse that has support for Swift directly, which is a different setup process.
I've downloaded and added Parse to Xcode in the Build Phases -> Link Binary With Libraries. The directions on their website are extremely straightforward...download the SDK, add it to Xcode, import it, and done.
Parse seems to be added properly everywhere it should be:
But alas, when I use import Parse, I get a no such module error. I've tried adding the framework search path $(PROJECT_DIR) under Build Settings both recursively and non-recursively, and a few other recommendations from the other questions addressing this issue, but with no luck.
I'm wondering if this could be an issue with Parse or the Xcode beta, since both are extremely new, but I'm assuming the error is on my end, just not exactly sure where to look since the quickstart guide on Parse.com seemed so simple.
Apparently if you drag the Parse library to the 'Link with Binary Libraries' section, you will continue to get this error.
You have to drag Parse to the project navigator for it to properly import.
Since it should work regardless of where you drag it into Xcode, it is possible this could be a problem with the Xcode 7.1 beta or the updated Parse API for Swift support. I'm not entirely sure, but either way, it's a really simple fix, so not a big deal.
I am trying to build an iOS swift framework to display encrypted photos. Photos are sent by my server (something like a hashed binary file) after calling a specific API with specific details. I will then decrypt the photo, and display it to the user.
Correct and point me in the right direction if I am wrong, but swift only allows frameworks - meaning no static library. And this will expose my implementation details (such as the method to decrypt my photo).
What I would like to achieve is to create a cocoapod distributable framework for paid developers to implement (once they subscribe to me). It is supposed to expose simple public APIs, and hide implementation details.
I have tried various ways to achieve that but to no avail. I would really like to keep the implementation to swift codes only, with minimal Obj-C codes.
Build a swift framework, and build an objective-c static library as a wrapper
But I cannot seem to get it to work. Any idea if this is possible?
Build a swift framework in a swift framework
Stupid idea, i'm able to see the framework's implementation details within the other framework...
Build a swift framework, and build an objective-c framework as a wrapper
I cannot seem to get this to work either...
I have been working on this project for about 2 weeks now, and have been all over Googling for it. Just in case anybody would like to try, you may try to do the following and check if it works.
Cocoapods Friendly Framework
Implementation Details Hidden
Uses Alamofire (or any public framework that connects to internet)
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Our team is in process of electing programming language to develop a new iOS application in which we have to write features to support video conversation.
The backend is written using WebRTC, now we have to decide which language to use in the iPhone app and we prefer Swift in this case.
However, I'm not sure Swift supports WebRTC or not.
My initial research show that we can implement the features using Objective-C. I found an example written in Objective-C which you can find the source code here.
However, I'm not sure about Swift. Does Swift also support WebRTC?
UPDATE 2023
Unfortunately, as of 2023 there still appears to be no completely Swift framework that implements the WebRTC protocol. Although the iOS framework hosted at webrtc.org can be fairly easily used in Swift apps, it is written mostly in objective C.
For those stumbling on this question, who just want to get webRTC running in your app this is still relatively easy using the cocoapod
UPDATE 2016
The easiest way is to get webRTC in your project is to simply install the CocoaPod using the directions at https://cocoapods.org/pods/WebRTC
If you have never used CocoaPods before you will need to first follow this guide: https://guides.cocoapods.org/using/getting-started.html
Original Answer
The simple answer to the question is that there are currently no open source libraries written in Swift conforming to the WebRTC protocol. You can still compile the code from the official WebRTC project into your app. Directions which may not lead to a successful build can be found here: https://webrtc.org/native-code/ios/
Finally, to clarify Omkar Guhilot's answer: Skylink is a company with a closed source SDK that is designed to work only with their paid stun-turn service, and https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc requires cordova, which may not be ideal for many native ios developers.
Webrtc comes with Objective C interface. I dont think they will move to swift interface anytime soon. But You can always use them via bridging headers. I have written apprtc (webrtc's demo) in swift 2.3 version with help of bridging headers in github link with a description in this blog . I have planned to write 3.0 version and a swift wrappers over it.
Current version of webrtc framework doesn't require any pods or any extra bridging headers.
The framework can be generated by following instructions on this Link :
https://webrtc.github.io/webrtc-org/native-code/ios/
If you follow them correctly you will generate a framework add that framework in your project and follow the webrtc necessary steps and you will have a WEBRTC integrated project.
To know what all steps are necessary follow this link from appear.in
:
https://tech.appear.in/2015/05/25/Getting-started-with-WebRTC-on-iOS/
This will get you to a stage where you will be able to make calls between a browser and any iOS 8+ device
Yes swift supports WebRTC and there is one more library which you can use in swift link:- http://skylink.io/ios/
And the link that you have shared to which is written in Objective C, we should be able to use that as well in swift by creating a Bridging header
Have a look at this as well https://github.com/alongubkin/phonertc
Thanks

I see there’s many libraries, open source, like Cocos2d, ShareKit, FormatterKit, etc. that seems up to date. (Check GitHub).
But still, implementation, snippets, samples and manual are intended to be written in Objective-C.
But, a method is a method… I think… If I get an instance of any framework/library of these and I call the method in a full Swift enviroment, would I be affected behind the scenes?
After June WWDC Swift gonna get serious, Apple is pushing hard, I’m just getting ready for the move and I don’t want my Apps to implement a soon-to-be deprecated library implementation in Objective-C.
I do not understand your question so much that I will regard your question as "Is it possible to use the Objective-C&Swiftin the same project?"
Yes, Apple claimed that developers can use Bridging-Header to implement double languages development, whatever your main developing language is ObjC or Swift. The specific details and theories about it you shall check from there.
Next I want to tell you some errors occurred in my project when I used Bridging-Header.
I always meet this kind of problem like import 'file not found'. I think you can try to check your file&folder hierarchy. Such as you have a root folder named Project, as is often the case, there is another Project in your previous Project, the root folder.
And Checking the Objective-C Bridging Header in the Build Setting. Sometime error can occurred for Project/Project/Bridging-Header.h. And the error can be corrected by changing the definition as Project/Bridging-Header.h.
If the location of Bridging-Header.h is not matching with the definition in the Build Setting, the error like import file not found will occur.
I just tell your my solution for Bridging issue I already met, I hope it can help you.
Hello I have found two links about AVCam
Apple: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/samplecode/AVCam/History/History.html
alex-chan/AVCamSwift: https://github.com/alex-chan/AVCamSwift
The first link has demo files that work perfectly, but its in Object-C - can someone show me documentation on converting Object-C to Swift?
The second link I have downloaded the files but it will not run in my 4s - can someone tell me why?
I would like to have a swift version so I can easily adopt it into my swift build + thanks again SO!
if you have a working objc version why not just import it with a bridging header? there is no one document about converting obj-c to swift, if you really want to convert it you are going to need to do it line by line.
also what exactly are you trying to do? get a live camera feed displayed? these docs have been ported to swift and would suit that purpose but you would need to get the input port first.
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer_Class/index.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer/layerWithSession:
Update: how to import obj-c headers, a newer way to create them that isnt quite as talked about yet is to just create any normal .m file or objective c file then select yes to creating a briding header, it configures everything for you.
That being said it may be worth while to play around with the basics a bit more and maybe follow a few guides before attempting to implement this type of feature if you are having issues with following the links.
Here is a random application creation guide http://www.ioscreator.com/tutorials/calculator-tutorial-in-ios8-with-swift that should teach you alot. i would recommend following and reading through stuff like this until you have a bit more of a footing and can come up with more of an exact question. no one here is going to rewrite the apple program for you and your questions are extremely broad.
