I am very new to both Objective-C and iOS programming. I am working my way through creating some graphs using core-plot and want to access some documentation that might help explain the examples given.
The readme file says in order to install the documentation I must:
Quit Xcode
Copy the com.CorePlot.Framework.docset bundle into ~/Library/Developer/Shared/Documentation/DocSets/
Launch Xcode, and browse Core Plot documentation in the Documentation browser
This looks easy but I am having a problem locating the "CorePlot.Framework.docset" bundle. Perhaps I am missing something simple?
Thanks.
Are you using one of the release packages or building from source?
If you're using a release package without the installer, the docset is in "CorePlot x.x.x/Documentation" after unzipping the archive.
If you're using the installer, it should have placed the docset in the right place.
If you're building from source, follow the instructions here to install Doxygen and Graphviz. Open the CorePlot-CocoaTouch project and build the Documentation target. The build script will install the docset automatically.

I'm completely new to macOS development, this might sound quite basic.
I need to distribute a Golang app for macOS.
I built the Go executable for macOS, the executable works fine on macOS.
I made its .app structure following this tutorial
But before distributing it, I need to do a few things like code signing & integrating Sparkle (for updates).
For that, I need to open this .app as a Xcode project. How do I do that ?
Xcode recognizes .xcodeproj extension
I created a sample Xcode Objective-C project but how do I get this project to run my executable/.app ?
You do not need to open the app as an Xcode project - that doesn't make sense as such and cannot be done, as the app is not an Xcode project.
I would suggest instead using the gon tool you can find here for code signing.
The easiest way to install it is usually through HomeBrew by running:
brew tap mitchellh/gon
brew install mitchellh/gon/gon
The above requires you to have HomeBrew installed in advance.
After installing, you create a config.json file as described on the gon GitHub page, and then run:
gon config.json
That will sign, zip, notarize and staple your application for you - creating a .dmg file for distribution.
In regards to Sparkle for easily updating your program, this is something you have to integrate into your Go program. You can find an example of how to do that here.
The example contains a simply Objective-C function sparkle_checkUpdates() that uses the Sparkle framework to invoke the updating mechanism. It also contains a Go function sparkle_checkUpdates() that use C imports to call that C function described before.
In your existing Go program, you just need to call that sparke_checkUpdates from somewhere when the user wants to check for updates.
My goal is to visualize a point cloud using PCL. This is possible according to their official tutorial (link). In the tutorial there is an include path pointing to cloud_viewer.h file (located under visualization folder). After a vcpkg install using "vcpkg install pcl:x64-windows" I couldn’t find the visualization folder. After some research it I found out that "visualization" does not come with default PCL install, but it is an optional feature (link). Then I used the "vcpkg install pcl[vtk]:x64-windows --featurepackages" and I am still missing the needed folder. If anyone could point out to me where am I making a mistake I would appreciate it.
I got the same problem with you. It seems vcpkg is not a good choice for pcl library. Many people have the same problem with visualization module
Using vcpkg does not provide all files, includes and headers for pcl.
I had the same issue, and downloading pcl all in one solved it.
You can find it here for example: http://unanancyowen.com/en/pcl181/
Other thing that can help, is to use this command on vcpkg:
.\vcpkg install pcl:x64-windows-static
I am working on XCode 9.1 project that uses IBM Watson swift-sdk SpeechToTextV1 package. After upgrading swift-sdk to the version 0.19.0 and building XCode project the compiler error has occured: Missing required modules: 'SSCZLib', 'SSCommonCrypto' pointing to the import SpeechToTextV1 statement. swift-sdk updated via Carthage.
Cartfile content: github "watson-developer-cloud/swift-sdk".
command line update: carthage update --platform ios --no-use-binaries.
How can I include SSCZLib and SSCommonCrypto modules into XCode project?
Please help. Thanks a lot.
Use carthage update --platform iOS --no-use-binaries. It takes a while, but it works.
I'm afraid that I haven't been able to replicate the problem on my machine. I started with a new, empty Xcode project and was able to transcribe audio with the Speech to Text service.
I uploaded my app here. Can you try downloading it, adding your Speech to Text credentials, and running the app?
Please make sure that the newly compiled frameworks are the ones being used. Carthage does not place the frameworks in a custom location that is referenced in the project or workspace.
For me - in addition to building the library using --no-use-binaries flag - I also had to ensure that under my target's
Build Phases->Embed Frameworks
Build Phases->Link Binary with Libraries
SpeechToTextV1.framework is included
In addition - I found that these two files made all the difference inside the Carthage folder:
Carthage/Checkouts/ios-sdk/Source/SupportingFiles/Dependencies/Starscream/zlib/include.h
Carthage/Checkouts/ios-sdk/Source/SupportingFiles/Dependencies/Starscream/zlib/module.modulemap
I could only get this to work after my project was directly referencing the Carthage folder. Deleting either of these two files caused the error to return.
The v0.21.0 release of the Watson Swift SDK fixes this issue. You should no longer have to add a link to the zlib folder in your project settings. However, you will need to copy Starscream.framework into your application in the same way that other frameworks are copied.
The solution was to externalize the Starscream dependency. Adding Starscream as a recursive dependency for the Swift SDK allows it to build independently with its own environment. When the Starscream library is copied into your application, it should automatically include the SSCZLib and SSCommonCrypto dependencies.
We test each SDK before it's release, but this problem slipped past us. Our test machine happens to have other software that adds SSCZLib and SSCommonCrypto to the path, making it available to the Xcode build. It wasn't until we refreshed the machine with a new macOS install that we were able to replicate the problem. And with v0.21.0, that problem has been solved.
Sorry for your trouble and thank you for your patience while we tracked down the solution!
Possibly basic question but I'm not sure where to begin for an answer. I am very much a newbie to Xcode, Cocoa, Swift and Objective-C.
I'm interested in developing an open-source Markdown editor for the Mac that will build from existing open-source code. I have gone to GitHub to download the source code for two existing projects, MacDown and WriteDown! For both projects I download the project .zip file (and am happy that the button to do so is now easily available), and extract the .zip file's contents on my hard drive. In each project there is an .xcodeproj file which I open up in Xcode... and I see tons of errors, mostly because of things that are missing, so I cannot build and run them.
With WriteDown I see "missing base SDK" (and get a corresponding error when I try to run it), and many other files missing (frameworks, products, and "pods"). With MacDown I get a lot of errors mentioning missing pod files.
If it were just the one project that gave me errors I would assume this was something specific to that project, but since they're both giving me errors it sure seems like I'm doing something wrong in general. Should I be downloading something other than the downloadable zip? Downloading extra frameworks? Taking an extra step in between?
I am using Xcode 6.1.1 on OS X 10.9.5, which MacDown seems to indicate it's compatible with.
Few things:
1) If an .xcworkspace is available, you should open that in lieu of the .xcproj. The workspace contains multiple projects that are important for the building of the application.
2)
Check out this answer for "Missing Base SDK" XCODE Base SDK Missing
3) Go to /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs and check to make sure you have the proper system SDKs available
4) It looks like those projects also require CocoaPods, a OS X Dependency Manager. You need to download the "pods" AKA 3rd party dependencies in order to build the application
I am tryingo to build a GUI application using the JUCE framework on MAC OSX.
I have dowloaded all the API's and got a small hello World program running fine.
However, when I add files to my Xcode project I get compilation errors that say that the Juce library files don`t exist. I would like to know how to get the library API in the build and link path in XCode so that it finds the neccesary files for compilation.
What I would do on Visual Studio going to properties and adding aditional library dependencies, is what I need to do in XCode but I don't know how.
Any help greatly appreciated.
thanks.
Old question but maybe a useful answer in the future....
If you have the "Hello World" up and runnning, it should already be linked to the library. Are you using the introjucer? This should help get everything up and running for you. If you are, you need to add classes etc to the introjucer, as this sets up Xcode / VStudio for you. If not, (Presuming XCode 3 as you are using leopard) goto Xcode > Preferences. Scroll along to source trees, and add the path to the juce folder in there.
