CocoaPod Framework #168

Closed bencallis closed 5 years ago

bencallis commented 8 years ago

Are there any plans to make CardIO work as a framework when using CocoaPods? We are currently developing a component (which is also a pod) which we hope to use CardIO in. Our component has multiple UI elements which use IB_Designable (which only works correctly with frameworks).

Are there any plans to make CardIO produce a framework with CocoaPods? I noticed you have Carthage support and that only works with frameworks so it seems like it should be possible?

There's no immediate plans, but if you or anyone else can issue a PR to https://github.com/card-io/card.io-iOS-source then it would definitely move things forward.

danielgalasko commented 8 years ago

+1 would love to tackle this but the source is seriously complicated:(

bencallis commented 8 years ago

@danielgalasko yeah due to the dependencies on the image framework I don't think it is a 2 minute job.

Duffycola commented 8 years ago

I am trying to use cardIO with CocoaPods and Swift, but it just doesn't find the library. I suppose this is related.. Would be great if the documentation would mention that this isn't supported yet.

What's the problem with the image framework? I have developed the OpenCV iOS port during Google Summer of Code 2012. Maybe I can be of help?

As far as I remember OpenCV is build as a static library using a python script that gathers the source and then issues the appropriate build commands. Do you have some documentation at hand on how to compile a dynamic framework? For more information on the OpenCV side have a look here: http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/doc/tutorials/introduction/ios_install/ios_install.html

bencallis commented 8 years ago

@Duffycola I think the issue is CardIO is using a static lib version of OpenCV and you can't (as far as I know) including a static lib in a framework. So to build a Framework of CardIO OpenCV will need be built from source.

mjholgate commented 8 years ago

And I think OpenCV uses cmake as a build system?

Duffycola commented 8 years ago

OpenCV uses Cmake. For iOS it is a little bit more complicated. A python script (opencv/platforms/ios/build_framework.py) sets up iOS-specific flags, compiles the library, and ultimately creates the mac-typical static framework structure.

Now dynamic frameworks are new to me and it would be good to find documentation about how to invoke xcode to not build a static, but a dynamic framework (from the commandline). Maybe someone more familiar with cocoapods has some knowledge?

Have you experimented with https://cocoapods.org/pods/OpenCV ? I think in the future it would be best if the cardIO Podspec would list opencv as a dependency rather than shipping a potentially large static library.

I have also raised the issue here: https://github.com/Itseez/opencv/issues/6186

@Duffycola did you get any further with this?

ghost commented 6 years ago

Any updates in this topic? I need to include Card.IO in own static framework, so any new idea would be helpful...

Any updates?

Any update?

burnto commented 5 years ago

This project and its source counterpart are no longer actively maintained, so we do not expect further updates on this topic. Thanks.

dollykosmos commented 5 years ago

Hello Brent,

So any new repository for CARD IO in Swift? If yes, then please specify
