Failing to run in Swift project

[ian-hutchinson]

As reported by Mark Barrasso (@barrasso):

Current error: eegeo ASSERT: /data/buildAgent/work/e3c2755ad067b864/platform/Fonts/FontLoader.cpp

I started with a new Swift project, and I have installed eeGeo (1.0.778) via Podfile.

Next, I have dragged a view onto my controller, and subclassed it to a EgMapView. I imported eegeoApi in my viewcontroller and setup the map delegate.

When I compile and build, I get that FontLoader.cpp assertion.

Am I able to build this library using a swift project? Looks like some linker error type.

Thanks for the help,
Mark

Hi Mark,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with our iOS API Example.

I've run through the developer setup and all seems to be working fine for me. Part of that process produces an xcworkspace, which contains a project with all of the necessary settings needed to build the app such as compiler settings, sources to build, resources to copy to device etc.

My guess is that the project that you've manually created is missing some of these resources - the assertion would suggest that it's probably one of the font resources.

At present we currently don't support Swift and our deployed pod is written in Objective-C++ so I'd anticipate problems when trying to use it in a Swift project. There does seem to be several resources dedicated to integrating Objective-C based pods in Swift projects, which might prove useful:

If you do manage to integrate our pod in your Swift project, we'd be grateful for your feedback of the experience.

Best,
Ian
