In both the above repositories update the Cartfile the following way: change github "LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift" ~> 1.2 to github "yourgithubusername/dexcom-share-client-swift" "master", where yourgithubusername is the username of the github user you used to fork the repos
Delete the Cartfile.resolved files
Back in the Loop folder, in the Cartfile change the lines github "LoopKit/CGMBLEKit" ~> 3.2 and github "LoopKit/G4ShareSpy" ~> 1.1 to github "yourgithubusername/CGMBLEKit" "master" and github "yourgithubusername/G4ShareSpy" "master"
Also change the line github "LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift" == 1.2 in Cartfile to github "yourgithubusername/dexcom-share-client-swift" "master"
Delete the Cartfile.resolved file from the Loop folder
Build the Loop app. Now the option to select a custom share server should appear in Add CGM -> Dexcom Share
What is this useful for:
I have the Medtronic Guardian Connect standalone CGM which connects directly to my iPhone and data is retrieved from the Carelink portal and uploaded to Nightscout. The CGM can't be connected in any other way so this is the only solution to use it with Loop. I'm assuming there are more systems that can be used this way.
Some CGMs don't support connecting to Loop and the easiest way to do this is to upload their data to Nightscout and retrieve it from there. This was already discussed in https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop/issues/84, but this does not consider CGMs that are not compatible with xDrip+. It also seems that this was possible in Loop v1.4.0 (https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop/pull/535, https://github.com/LoopKit/Loop/pull/492) but it's not possible currently.
I created a pull request (https://github.com/LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift/pull/9) in https://github.com/LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift that allows the user to use his own Dexcom share server. This can be used with https://github.com/dabear/NightscoutShareServer to retrieve data from Nightscout.
How to use this feature as of now:
https://github.com/dabear/NightscoutShareServerto set up a Nightscout Share Server NOTE: NightscoutShareServer is no longer supported by the original author. You can get the last working version from here: https://github.com/Andrei0105/NightscoutShareServer, but this is not currently being maintained (although I plan to in the future).https://github.com/Andrei0105/dexcom-share-client-swifthttps://github.com/LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift and follow the instructions in ShareClient/ShareClient.swift: uncomment line 44 in ShareClient/ShareClient.swift, add the URL of your Nightscout share server and uncomment lines 34 and 35 in ShareClientUI/ShareService+UI.swiftgithub "LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift" ~> 1.2togithub "yourgithubusername/dexcom-share-client-swift" "master", where yourgithubusername is the username of the github user you used to fork the reposgithub "LoopKit/CGMBLEKit" ~> 3.2andgithub "LoopKit/G4ShareSpy" ~> 1.1togithub "yourgithubusername/CGMBLEKit" "master"andgithub "yourgithubusername/G4ShareSpy" "master"github "LoopKit/dexcom-share-client-swift" == 1.2in Cartfile togithub "yourgithubusername/dexcom-share-client-swift" "master"What is this useful for: I have the Medtronic Guardian Connect standalone CGM which connects directly to my iPhone and data is retrieved from the Carelink portal and uploaded to Nightscout.
