Building & Debugging

[ggb88]

Hello Jonathan,

I need a little help if possible with two things - running the examples and console debugging

• In regard to the former, I can successfully build the frameworks. I have installed both frameworks into /Library/Frameworks, but when i try to compile an example in Xcode (such as ClientServer), it fails because 'AsyncNetwork/AsyncNetwork.h' cannot be found. I've restarted Xcode (7.2) and tried re-adding the framework, but must be missing some other setting
• In regards to debugging, I'd like to enable the debugging that is in CocoAsyncSocket - what would be the best way to enable this and package a framework with debugging enabled. A quick search of sync-network doesn't appear to have any console logging. Is that right?

Thanks Garry

Hi Garry,

the framework should be installed as an embedded framework, not a system framework:

1. Compile AsyncNetwork
2. Copy AsyncNetwork.framework into your project folder
3. In the project General Tab: Add the framework to Embedded Binaries and Linked Frameworks

This way the framework will be embedded in your application and run on any system.

Concerning your second question: I personally do not like console logging for debugging thus I have not included any such logs anywhere. To debug the framework, I typically include its sources and step through it with the debugger. You can, however, add log statements to your delegate methods.

Best Jonathan
