Carthage support

[raulriera]

Supporting Cocoapods (http://cocoapods.org) and/or Carthage (https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage) is great for libraries. It might not be the easiest thing for "new comers", but for the rest is a must

[MengTo]

Definitely working on this! :D

I manage to get it working with Carthage by setting the Spring.framework's scheme as shared in Xcode and then tagging the version on my fork of Spring. (https://github.com/clooth/Spring/tree/1.0.1)

The merge is going well to have Carthage recognise and build the framework correctly.

However, I had issues with integrating this way is that SpringView's IBInspectable are not correctly showing up in the view properties panel. Classes are also not auto filled when I typed into the custom class textfield on a view. Anyone had some pointers?

[raulriera]

This merge is not in the master branch right? I get a Project "SpringApp.xcodeproj" has no shared schemes error when trying to use it.

There is no "release" for this yet in the tags

[schneiderandre]

@raulriera yes, the 1.0.0 tag was created before #13 was merged.
I'm not sure why Carthage uses tag 1.0.1 for me, but this works. I'll talk to @jamztang and @MengTo and we will either move the tag or create a new one.

[jamztang]

I've moved 1.0.0 from 9ac47a4 to 490a266, let me know if this works for you guys!

[raulriera]

You are correct, they don't show up in the properties inspector, nor they autocomplete in the Custom Class section of a view, but they do show in the code normally if I import Spring

Might be an issue with Carthage?

[jamztang]

Thanks for filing an issue on Carthage. Yeah we didn't have the same problem with other Integration methods, have you seen projects works with IB correctly using Carthage?

[raulriera]

Not at the moment no, the two I put in there are the only UI ones I have seen so far

[jamztang]

Right, thanks @raulriera, we'll keep an eye on the Carthage issue and see what we can do!

[raulriera]

After some testing out I noticed that the framework is stripping out the initialisers from classes and this is why they are not accessible via Storyboard.

For my project, if you do a Carthage (or a normal framework build) and then import the framework into any project, CMD + clicking into the import yourFramework shows you the lists of methods available, and some of the initialisers disappeared.

I am unable to solve this on my own project, but maybe this can give you some idea

[jamztang]

That sounds like a good hint, thanks @raulriera. We'll come back to this.

[schneiderandre]

I tried it again in Xcode Version 6.4 (6E35b) with Carthage and also with a manual Framework Build, but it seems that the issues with the Designables/Inspectables in embedded Binaries still exist.

[raulriera]

Yes, this bug persists in Xcode 7 I opened this (but for real on Apple's) http://www.openradar.me/radar?id=5031199516917760 and it was marked as duplicate.. so at least someone looked at it

[schneiderandre]

Thanks for the update 👍. Good to hear that they are aware of this.

[schneiderandre]

I will close this for now, since it sounds like an Xcode issue 😞.
Feel free to reopen this if you have any new insights.
