custom plugin installation procedure in worklight6.0 - ios

Few days back i started working on ibm worklight platformVersion="6.1.0.01.20140427-1450".
But i am facing some problem regarding custom plugin. For adding native functionality to hybrid application with apache cordova plugin in IOS I found the following link
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/mobile-solutions/worklight/docs/v610/06_03_iOS_-_Adding_native_functionality_to_hybrid_application_with_Apache_Cordova_plugin.pdf
I tried this but everytime on compilation i got "linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)".
So my question is that after cordova 2.9 ,it stopped adding classes and files manually. So we do the same by installing the command line. But i tried the same thing in worklight based project then it gives error that it is not a cordova based project.
So i think that we can't install the plugin into worklight project with the help of command line thats why its giving the linker error.
Please try to solve my problem by proving me the solution.
Thanks in Advance

First, the error you've mentioned as-is is meaningless, you should add the full error.
Regardless,
Worklight currently does not support Cordova 3's Plugman, so you cannot easily "install" plug-ins.
As a way to show how this can be done, you can follow the guidelines provided for this question: Using katzer local notification in IBM Worklight
The solution provided in the above question shows a "step-by-step" of how to add existing Cordova 3 plug-ins to a Worklight application, for Android.
It is the same for iOS with one exception. in iOS you must reference the plug-in's .m and .h files in Xcode's Classes folder (right-click and select "Add files...")

How debug Kotlin on iOS with Xcode

Currently I am working on one KMM project. It would be really useful to be able to debug the shared code which is in kotlin in xcode project.
I am aware of this solution but I have problem to tell Xcode that *.kt files are source files
to be more specific in the above github link it is written :
You need to tell Xcode that *.kt files are source files, and run an lldb formatter script when debugging starts. Advanced users may want to do this manually, but if you have Xcode installed in the default place, you can run the setup script.
Unless you're using Xcode 11 (in which case look here for help), the following script will install both debugging and formatting support:
./setup.sh
I do not know where and how I should run the ./setup.sh or if there is another way to do it?
The setup script is included in the github repository: https://github.com/touchlab/xcode-kotlin/blob/main/setup.sh
The above plugin is great if you want to debug on Xcode and I highly recommend it.
Just an FYI, in case you didn't notice, there is also a plugin for debugging shared code on iOS for Android Studio: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/14936-kotlin-multiplatform-mobile

Ionic app loads using Ionic serve but not with Xcode

I'm currently stuck on a problem related to my Ionic project.
I have an Ionic project on GitHub which i've been working on in the past few weeks, i have a few Cordova plugins as part of the project.
When downloading the project from GitHub, i can run the app using Ionic Serve without a problem. However, when trying to setup the project for xCode to run on local device(s), i run into a multitude of errors
Some include:
When running ionic 'cordova platform add ios' the following error appears
Error: Could not install from "ios" as it does not contain a package.json file.
When trying to run 'ionic cordova run ios -l --external'
Error: Error: terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException
I have not yet tried to transfer my code into a new Ionic project, as i wish to see if my problem can be solved without that hassle.

I figured it out. You have the exact same issue I've had with the android platform.
As I pointed it out in the comments, it is indeed caused by a "corrupted" project architecture.
How it happened
Initially, I had an issue with the cordova generated resources, somehow not being copied into the android platform directory. I tried plenty of things with the cordova-res CLI, including using the --copy and the --ios-project flags to force the copy to happen in the directory of my choice.
I couldn't manage to fix my issue, and then decided to rollback all my changes and start over on a clean project to try something else. Since then, I was not able to add the android platform anymore. Every single time, the following error was being thrown :
Error: Could not install from "android" as it does not contain a package.json file.
Explanation
With all my testing, I noticed that when using cordova to add the platform or copy the resources over, somehow, it had created the android platform in the wrong directory, at the root of my project instead of in the platforms folder. And that's where the issue comes from.
I can't explain it, but you will encounter this error every single time if you try to add a platform with cordova while having a folder with this platform name at the root of your project. I have no idea why this would prevent a platform from being added to the project, maybe this folder is used as a temp folder by the CLI.
Solution
The fix is to simply remove any ios or android directory at the root of your project.
The error will go away and you will be able to add the platform again.
#CodingJunkie
Regarding the Github repository you provided in your post, you will likely run into another error while trying to add the ios platform if you use cordova#>=9.0.0.
Using "requireCordovaModule" to load non-cordova module "xcode" is not supported.
Instead, add this module to your dependencies and use regular "require" to load it.
Check this issue#1033 for a workaround. However, it's not recommended to directly edit the plugin source code, you might want to look for another cordova Firebase plugin.
I also noticed you kinda mixed up cordova and capacitor in your project.
Make sure to use one or the other to avoid potential errors.
Hope this helped !
#Reqven
Thank you for your support! - i was sure that i had done this step while trying to fix the issue. It is such an absurd problem, it seems that there is a new project architecture as you mentioned which needs to be followed. I followed your steps with also one minor additional step as im working on the iIOS platform:
Delete iOS folder
cordova platform add ios
cordova prepare ios
ionic build
If step 2 throws an error causing the version not to be found or integrated into the project run - include '#latest' this also solved my problem

Cannot build IOS for bms push Cordova project

I'm not able to build IOS for my cordova project. I have added bms-push plugin and I'm getting error cannot find cannot find module bms core
I was just able to successfully add the bms-push plugin and compile a project. Without more detailed error logs and recreation steps, it will be difficult to diagnose your error.
Make sure you have followed the steps in the README here:
https://github.com/ibm-bluemix-mobile-services/bms-clientsdk-cordova-plugin-push/#configuration
Installing the bms-push library (cordova plugin add bms-push) should automatically pull down bms-core as a dependency.

PLCrashReporter frameworks integration produce "Could not inspect the application package." error

I am actually trying to integrate PLCrashReport using either a Framework (the one given on the official website) or Carthage.
Carthage won't compile the framework, and the manual drag & drop with the one downloaded from the website would produce the following error when installing the app on the device (Run build)
App installation failed
Could not inspect the application package.
I use a build target of iOS8, I linked the framework as an embedded binary to ship it with the app ; and this error is very annoying.
Xcode is in 7.3
Right now, I tried manual build for the framework, clean of the project. None would work.
By curiosity, I tried Cocoapod integration for this library, it worked, but Cocoapod is NOT an option on my project so I can't go with it.
Does anyone have had the same issue, any ideas for correcting it ?
Finally found a way to make it work :
PLCrashReporter should NOT be in embedded frameworks, just in linked frameworks. Works like a charm now, debug and release builds !

Gstreamer 1.0 ios sdk installer failed to install

This is my first time trying with Gstreamer for ios , I went with the tutorial and installed the SDK with the link provided by the tutorial:
http://docs.gstreamer.com/display/GstSDK/Installing+for+iOS+development
The installation works fine, but after I start trying the tutorial example projects, there couple of compiling errors compiling about missing gst/video/videooverlay.h . Then I looked into the header folder under the installed GStreamer header folder, there is no filed called video/videooverlay.h
Then I search online, found this information:
Gstreamer for iOS provided is out of date. I used the freedesktop packages
from https://github.com/braincorp/gstreamer_ios_tutorial
Then I downloaded another installation pkg for GStreamer
Then while I was trying to install the later version, the installer give me error saying:
you cannot install GStreamer 1.0 (Development Files) in this location.
Then I thought I might need to uninstall the previous version, but I couldn't finder a standard uninstallation option from the installer, then I searched online, find one post suggest remove the GStreamer folder under ~/Library/Developer
I have removed the installed folder, so I don't have any header files, but the new installer still gives the same error
I have been trying to figure this out for sometime, couldn't find useful info on line , I really appreicate any clue and help you might have!
Thanks!!

Answering my own question here..
not sure what's the issue, after restarting my mac, and run the installer couple of times with the same error, it suddenly worked ....... i am not sure what's the matter here, hope gstreamer team can improve the stability of the installer in the future.
At work we are currently trying to get the IOS tutorials from the streamer 1.0 sdk to run.
1) Compilation: Same thing: we managed to bootstrap (cerbero ... bootstrap) and compile (cerebra ... package streamer-sdk) using the official cerebero git repository.
But:
a) We had to mock around with the /cerbero/cerbero/enums.py file:
Add in the collection of supported old IOS (6.0, 6.1, 7.0, etc...) the one corresponding to our Xcode version : IOS 8.4
b) We had to customize the /cerbero/config/ios.config and iOS-universal.config files to get them to use the right architecture in our case: arm7v or arm7 instead of X64_86 or x86
c) We removed the not found is_asm() function from the x264 plugin's recipe file in the /cerbero/recipes.
For a reason we ignore, for all other platforms but IOS, the recipes check on the architecture available using:
if self.config.target_arch == Architecture.xxx:
of iOS is was using that missing function: is_asm(self.config.target_arch)
We replaced it by:
if self.config.target_arch == Architecture.ARMv7:
Compiling an iOS app using streamer:
So far it is a failure. we bumped into the same missing overlay.h header file. We couldn't find it anywhere.
DIFFERENCE between gstreamer.com (the sdk provider) and the official streamer website (free desktop.gsteamer.org):
We found out that gstreamer.com is clearly a commercial goal company that is making available the sdk, that people struggle on with for IOS (tested and working fine on linux) and the official website is providing the gstreamer library only without an sdk.
So this is what we are trying to use instead as of today.
Versions infos:
sdk (from gstreamer.com): current cerbero git master branch: git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer-sdk/cerbero
official gstreamer library:
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/pkg/ios/1.5.2/
