Carthage support

[rskuja]

Any plans for Carthage support? Just pushing out compiled frameworks with releases would be enough.

When making new release attach zip named similarly like this with similar contents and you are good to go.
SalesForceMobileSDK-iOS-4.1.1.framework.zip

I need this too.

Carthage support would be really welcome. It's often the lighter weight approach and many of us want to use frameworks that pull in the SF SDK in apps that also use the SF SDK, and we run as much of it as we can, using Carthage. Mixing in Cocoapods makes it quite difficult to get builds working.

I would really love to see this feature supported by Salesforce, for this SDK.

Hi there,

Is there any news on Carthage support? Working with the v6.x SDK is a nightmare.

Thanks

[idStar]

No, not that I've heard. I'm not sure why it's not a priority, given Carthage's rise in popularity and it's minimalist, clean approach.

@quidcomobile Could you expand a bit on "working with the v6.x SDK is a nightmare"? It should work well using forceios and Cocoapods. Also, it is possible to use Carthage with Mobile SDK with our framework targets. All you need to do is create a root level .cart file and consume our framework targets.

Hey @bbirman ,

If you have some some documentation, read me or step-by-step on how to build the frameworks using Carthage, that would be awesome. We use Carthage as dependency manager and I would prefer not to rely on Cocoapods.

Thanks in advance.

[idStar]

Agreed. Having some step by step instructions as part of this repo's README doc would be really helpful. Then, it's a self-serve proposition that others can leverage.

[bhariharan]

I'll look into it.

To the extent that I've worked with Carthage and the Mobile SDK, the required documentation didn't need to go further than Carthage's Cartfile docs. The bootstrapping of the Mobile SDK through Carthage is pretty down the middle as a Carthage use case, from my experience anyway.

Thans @khawkins , @bhariharan

I have managed to change my cartfile and I have now the frameworks all in order. Would be good to document this on READ.me though.

[bhariharan]

I have verified that consuming the Mobile SDK by following the steps outlined by Carthage works fine. We will update our developer guide to include these instructions.

I am using below command to include salesforce mobile sdk iOS through Carthage :
github "forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS" "master"

but I am facing an error:

A shell task (/usr/bin/env git checkout --quiet 77462ca5f450c903dce9e6b621497e036cecad76 (launched in //Carthage/Checkouts/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS/external/fmdb)) failed with exit code 128:
fatal: Cannot switch branch to a non-commit '77462ca5f450c903dce9e6b621497e036cecad76'

@kamalmtxb2b Once you create the Cartfile, run the following steps:

• Run carthage update --no-build. This will fetch the dependencies specified in your Cartfile.
• Navigate to Carthage/Checkouts/SalesforceMobileSDK-iOS and run . install.sh to fetch the dependencies needed by Mobile SDK.
• Run carthage build to build the schemes.
