Swift 2.0 not supported

[dickverbunt]

It doesn't support the new syntax of Swift 2.0 yet. Will this be added in the near future?

I know it uses Alamofire and it's not fully Swift 2.0 yet but has a working swift-2.0 branch.

hey @dickverbunt,

we hear you on this! We're likely going to be dropping Alamofire support in the next update which will make it easier for us to make a swift-2.0 branch as well.

[dickverbunt]

@varenc Thanks for the update. Looking forward to it.

Please do point out this lack of support for Swift 2 in the docs & Tutorial on the Dropbox website(s). Wasted a lot of time trying to fix syntax errors & resolve dependencies, after going through the install/tutorial before I found this thread.

Hi all,

I have opened up swift 2 support, for now in a separate branch until swift 2 and Xcode 7 are out of beta. The swift-2.0 branch is here.

This requires the latest Xcode 7 beta 6, available on Apple's developer site.

We currently still depend on Alamofire (2.0.0 branch from the swift-2.0 tree)--I wonder if anyone has any opinions as to whether we should work for a standalone library or whether continuing to depend on Alamofire is okay.

I'll leave this open until we merge to master.

Libraries that don't have dependencies are always easier to manage. Alamofire is not that big a deal, since it is well tested and maintained, but if you can get rid of it it would definitely be better.

Swift 2 is now merged to master!
