+ (NSString *)appGroupID;
+ (NSString *)pathForResource:(NSString *)subpath;
+ (NSUserDefaults*)userDefaults;
@end

Using at swift project

Using the bridge header

If you want to make your keys available to your whole project:

1. Make sure you have a bridging header already setup.
2. In the bridging header, import the generated key file:

#import <AppGroup/AppGroup.h>

Importing the framework

If you've added the use_frameworks! and only want your Keys to be available in specific files, simply use Swift's import statement. The name of the generated module is AppGroup.

import AppGroup
