ios8-extension

NB: This is related to this question on project structure, but I have decided to a vastly the use-case to better abstract the problem. Problem How do I include afnetworking in my iOS App and an accompanying iOS Extension ( ios8-extention , ios8-today-widget or ios8-share-extension ) via CocoaPods? Issues For use in Extensions, AFNetworking needs to be build with #define AF_APP_EXTENSIONS , does this mean I need 2 versions AFNetworking? One for the Extension and one for the App? How do I set up the Podfile so frameworks are built and copied to the correct places? Documentation on use_frameworks

Apple documentation suggests setting the height of Today Extensions using autolayout. If a widget has additional content to display, you can rely on Auto Layout constraints to adjust the widget’s height as appropriate. If you don’t use Auto Layout, you can use the UIViewController property preferredContentSize to specify the widget’s new height. However, every example and tutorial I have seen ends up using preferredContentSize . All of my attempts to set the height via autolayout lead to warnings of broken constraints. Setting Height Via Autolayout I started with a fresh xcode template, and a

Selecting images in Photos.app to pass to an action extension seems to yield paths to images on disk (e.g.: file:///var/mobile/Media/DCIM/109APPLE/IMG_9417.JPG ). Is there a way to get the corresponding ALAsset or PHAsset? The URL looks like it corresponds to the PHImageFileURLKey entry you get from calling PHImageManager.requestImageDataForAsset . I'd hate to have to iterate through all PHAssets to find it. I did what I didn't want to do and threw this dumb search approach together. It works, although it's horrible, slow and gives me memory issues when the photo library is large. As a noob to

Sharing class between iOS app and extension app I want to use a custom class in both my app and the extension app. If I just have the class in the main app folder, the extension doesn't pick up on it. I tried making a copy of it and putting it into the extension folder, but I of course get a invalid redeclaration of [my class] error. What's the best solution for this? It's just one class, not multiple resources. Nothing should be copied. Just add required files to compile sources for your extension: Just make sure that the files you want to share gets a tick in the section Target Membership .

I am trying to make an autocorrect system, and when a user types a word with a capital letter, the autocorrect doesn't work. In order to fix this, I made a copy of the string typed, applied .lowercaseString, and then compared them. If the string is indeed mistyped, it should correct the word. However then the word that replaces the typed word is all lowercase. So I need to apply .uppercaseString to only the first letter. I originally thought I could use nameOfString[0] but this apparently does not work. How can I get the first letter of the string to uppercase, and then be able to print the
