Swift and scriptingbridge object initialization

Question

I\'m trying to write an application for swift control iTunes. But when initializing the application returns an object of type AnyObject, but must iTunesApplication.

Answer 1

I suspected that the problem was that the iTunes.h file was not being imported. Therefore it's methods where not being picked up.

So I created a -Bridging-Header.h file.

My Project is name swiftItunesTest. so the -Bridging-Header.h file is named:

swiftItunesTest-Bridging-Header.h

Inside of this I placed the #import "iTunes.h" line

And in the AppDelegate.swift file

import Cocoa
 import Appkit
 import ScriptingBridge





class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate {

    @IBOutlet var window: NSWindow


    func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification?) {
        var iTunes : AnyObject = SBApplication.applicationWithBundleIdentifier("com.apple.iTunes")

        iTunes.playpause()


    }

    func applicationWillTerminate(aNotification: NSNotification?) {
        // Insert code here to tear down your application
    }


}

The iTunesApplication (iTunes.) now started to pick up the methods/functions

Here is a slightly updated example.

 func applicationDidFinishLaunching(aNotification: NSNotification) {
        let iTunes : AnyObject = SBApplication(bundleIdentifier: "com.apple.iTunes")!

        iTunes.playpause()


          guard let currentTrack: AnyObject =  iTunes.currentTrack!.name else {

             print("No Tracks Playing")
             return
       }
          print("\(currentTrack)")

    }

    func applicationWillTerminate(aNotification: NSNotification) {

    }
