Alamofire Xcode 8 Swift 3 results in 786 compile errors

Question

I am using the Xcode 8.0 GM. I created a default single-view app with my deployment target set to 9.0.

In my Podfile I\'m targeting the bleeding edge Swift 3 branch:

Answer 1

I solved a similar issue by using

pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.0'

in the pod file. I did have to adjust to a higher minimum deployment target.

Answer 2

Not sure if this helps anyone but just in case.. I tried to add Alamofire to a sample quick app on Xcode 8.0 GM using the CocoaPods standalone app.. I kept getting the Convert to swift 2.3 or 3.0 window.. but then I tried from the command line to pod update and it worked. Have no idea why.. I assume the underlying commands for the standalone app are the same.. so not sure what made the difference. In any case after 30 minutes of wasted time mine works.

This is the command line screenshot.. same pod file

Answer 3

I was able to get it working:

update:

# Uncomment this line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'PROJECT NAME HERE' do
  # Comment this line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!
  pod 'Alamofire',
    :git => 'https://github.com/Alamofire/Alamofire.git',
    :branch => 'swift3'

end

pod update Alamofire

It should update to 4.0.0-beta.2

There are a few changes when getting a request:

old:

Alamofire.request(URL_NAME_HERE, withMethod: .get).responseJSON { response in
     //Code here.
}

new:

Alamofire.request(URL_NAME_HERE, method: .get).responseJSON { response in
     //Code here.
}

Hope this helps.

You need to use version 4.0pod 'Alamofire', '~> 4.0' notice that CocoaPods 1.1 is needed.
