Xamarin IOS Binding library for WorldPayCSE - xamarin

Question

I need to make use of the worldPay CSE (Client side encryption) SDK (https://developer.worldpay.com/docs/wpg/clientsideencryption) for IOS and android within xamarin forms so I have created 2 Binding libraries. I have successfully created a wrapper for android and this is working fine but I am having an issue with IOS.
I downloaded https://github.com/Worldpay/worldpay-cse-lib-ios and followed the below tutorial on creating a binding library and mapping the API definitions using objective sharpie https://www.xamboy.com/2020/07/20/creating-a-xamarin-binding-library-for-ios-and-android-part-1/
I was able to build the solution and it appears to be creating the objects from the header files but when I run worldpayCSE.Encrypt(wpCardData, out NSEncryptError) method I get the following error:
Objective-C exception thrown. Name: NSInvalidArgumentException
Reason: -[NSTaggedPointerString isEmpty]: unrecognized selector sent

It appears to be falling over on the validation method. However when I run the native demo project in xcode it works fine so Im pretty sure the issue isn't with the framework files and I suspect I maybe missing something
I have checked the API definitions and while 2 verify tags did flag. They appear to relate to GetPublic Key and GetJson. Both don't need to be exposed to xamarin IOS and appear to be red heron
I have pushed a copy of my solution onto git hub. The encryptionmethod is trigged from the button on the about page via the dependency service to the IOS implemenation ofthe WorldPayClient.cs
https://github.com/Law85/XamarinForms.WorldPayCSEBinding
Here is also the script I ran to generate the API definitions and strut
sharpie bind --output=WorldpayCSE --namespace=WorldpayCSE --sdk=iphoneos14.5 /Users/lukewinthorpe/Desktop/WorldPay/WorldpayCSE.framework/Headers/*.h -scope /Users/lukewinthorpe/Desktop/WorldPay/WorldpayCSE.framework/Headers
Any assistance anyone can throw my way would be appreciated.
Thanks
Luke

Answer 1

I managed to fix this if anyone needs it in the future. Ill check it into the repo. So it looks like I overlooked step 2 onthe world pay site
Alternative: Manual installation To use the manual method:
1.Download and import WorldpayCSE.framework and openssl.framework into your project. Use the GitHub releases page for this.
2.In Xcode add -ObjC to Other Linker Flags from Build Settings.
https://developer.worldpay.com/docs/wpg/clientsideencryption/ios-integration
On the properties section of both the Frameworks open.ssl and WorldPayCSE make sure you set the linker flags prop to -ObjC
Feel like an idiot but atleast its working :)
