Installing and using pod

Question

I'm having issues using a pod. I want to initialise Backendless and use as backend, but Xcode cannot resolve the library as it seems. When I try(AppDelegate.swift):

import UIKit @UIApplicationMain class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate { let APP_ID = "xxx" let SECRET_KEY = "xxx" let VERSION_NUM = "v1" var backendless = Backendless.sharedInstance() var window: UIWindow?

I get

Use of unresolved identifier 'Backendless'

and what I did was:

Create a new project, closed xCode.
Created a pod file and edited it to take my library
Installed without fault
Opened the workspace file generated with the pod instalment.
Built project

and then I tried to initialise the library as shown above.

platform :ios, '8.0' use_frameworks! target 'Test' do pod 'Backendless' end target 'TestTest' do end

I have tried cleaning, building and restarting xcode. But I suspect I'm missing a crucial step somewhere?

Thanks in advance

Aren't you missing a import Backendless or something similar? — Larme

@Larme Where and how? Next to "import UIKit"? And what may the syntax be? I tried with import Backendless , but it doesn't recognise it. — Benni

@Benni When I use use_frameworks! I almost always import the module using import module then just build the project. This usually fixes any import issues I have — Ollie

If you use Swift, add to your bridging header file the following... see full description github.com/Backendless/ios-SDK — Qadir Hussain

since you are specifing:

use_frameworks!

in your podfile, in order to use any on your pods, you must use import in order to use the specific pod in the file you want to use it.

In your AppDelegate.swift:

import UIKit import Backendless

Second of all, your pod name should be

pod 'Backendless-ios-SDK'

No such Module 'Backendless' is the error when trying to import.

Is the pod name you are installing correct? Check this out pod 'Backendless-ios-SDK' (github.com/Backendless/ios-SDK)

I reinstalled with the correct pod name. Still the same. Saw a ticket on Backendless describing to use "#import <Backendless-ios-SDK/Backendless-Bridging-Header.h>" in the bridging header. But where is that?

You must create a Bridging Header file in order to import objective-c code into a Swift project. Since this is not the original question, heres a like: learnswiftonline.com/getting-started/…
