Swift Package Manager support

[rextremotabaresDtt]

Hello,
my company has a paid account for Opentok and I'm migrating our App dependencies to SPM. OpenTok is using Cocoapods but I'm wondering if there are any plans to allow integration with Swift Package Manager (which is getting more and more support from Apple itself such as supporting binary libraries ) or if it's already done how can we configure the dependency for Opentok.
Thank you

+1 on SPM support!

@rextremotabaresDtt @xezero thanks for your interest on SPM support, I filled the product request for this feature.

Thanks,
Aida

hi @Vonage-Aida 👋 any movement on this one? thanks!

[egarni]

+1 for adding SPM support! OpenTok is the only dependency I have not supporting SPM =^(

[DogeWowzie]

@egarni same here, Opentok is the only dependency blocking me from removing CocoaPods completely. Are there any plans to add SPM support?

[Bastianowicz]

@DogeWowzie same here. This is a serious problem to us and we have to evaluate other providers in case this cannot be resolved. What are your plans regarding this issue?

[jweg29]

@Vonage-Aida @abdulajet is there any timeline for supporting Apple's Swift Package Manager? Similar to what others have said OpenTok is the only dependency in my project that has not added support yet.

[abdulajet]

I can bump the request with engineering. Thanks for the patience

+1 for adding SPM support! Is there any expected timeline for supporting SPM?

Any update on this?

[Lontronix]

Would love to see SPM support added as well.

[jffmrk]

+1 🤞

[ben-p-commits]

Yes please!

[falkobuttler]

+1 here. Unfortunately, the latest versions of OpenTok or OTXCFramework do not seem to work with Xcode on M1 Macs, while SPM packages of incompatible CocoaPods packages worked fine.

[MattKiazyk]

👍 Please for SPM Support. Like others, Opentok is the only dependency in the project not supported

[ben-p-commits]

@Vonage-Aida - is there any timeline for spm support?

[Nikojoel]

+1 SPM support

[MattKiazyk]

Looks like (a first step at least) is coming with 2.23.0 - https://tokbox.com/developer/sdks/ios/

Version 2.23.0 of the SDK will not be packaged as a universal FAT framework. It will be packaged as an XCFramework.

[murillotomas]

Come on OpenTok. It has been 1.5 years already since this was requested and no sight on the horizon for SPM yet.
On top of that you guys make money with this. You should be taking a little bit more care of your customers.

[maxxfrazer]

Seems swiftpm isn't happening for opentok (yet).
It does work with Agora.io though for almost a year now (I work there, full disclosure), maybe the opentok team would find the motivation if others are doing it already 😉

• Core SDK - https://github.com/AgoraIO/AgoraRtcEngine_iOS
• Video UIKit - https://github.com/AgoraIO-Community/iOS-UIKit

Also works fully with M1 Macs - why do some businesses find this requirement so hard to meet? 🤷

[samitaha2]

Agora probably has less bugs too

[ben-p-commits]

@Vonage-Aida any roadmap updates on SPM support?

Looks like this didn't happen! 😢

[tumata]

@MattKiazyk The XCFramework looks available but is lacking some architectures (if I remember well, the M1 Simulator).

See: https://github.com/opentok/opentok-ios-sdk-samples/blob/main/Basic-Video-Chat-XCFramework/Podfile

[samitaha2]

So is this happening?

[MattKiazyk]

⏳

Can I say please?

[DogeWowzie]

Can confirm own Swift Package from OpenTok.xcframework works only on Intel Macs (tested running on Simulator and Real Devices). Without Rosetta you will only be able to compile on a real device when working on a Apple silicon MBP.

Within Basic-Video-Chat-XCFramework I just ran pod install and created an own swift package with the OpenTok.xcframework output located in Pods/OTXCFramework.

I placed it in the main directory of my swift package and added following manifest:

let package = Package( name: "OpenTok", platforms: [ .iOS(.v12) ], products: [ // Products define the executables and libraries a package produces, and make them visible to other packages. .library( name: "OpenTok", targets: ["OpenTok"]), ], dependencies: [ // Dependencies declare other packages that this package depends on. // .package(url: /* package url */, from: "1.0.0"), ], targets: [ .binaryTarget(name: "OpenTok", path: "OpenTok.xcframework") ] )

I wanted to host this package for everyone to download, but upload limit of Github is not allowing me to do so. Was able to upload my package on the private company server though.

Instead of dropping the huge OpenTok.xcframework into your swift package directory you can also host a zip file of it and reference the url in your manifest like so:

.binaryTarget(name: "OpenTok", url: <YourURL>, checksum: <YourChecksum>

@DogeWowzie with the M1 simulator? That's the piece that wasn't working.

The xcframework from the pod location (https://s3.amazonaws.com/artifact.tokbox.com/rel/otkit-ios-sdk-xcframework/OpenTok-iOS-2.23.1.tar.bz2) doesn't have the right architectures

Thanks for pointing out my mistake. Unfortunately I forgot to uncheck "open with Rosetta" yesterday.

When run on a M1 simulator, I receive following errors:

file is universal (i386.x86 64) but does not contain the arm64 architecture

Background: Simulator ARM64 Support for Static Libraries in M1 Machines - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/673387?answerId=685907022#685907022

[DogeWowzie]

Simulators run on a M1 with iOS 13.7 or below work though (they don't have an arm64 executable)

[murillotomas]

I got my reply here:
opentok/opentok-ios-sdk-samples#258 (comment)

Apparently they are not supporting SPM...

[MattKiazyk]

In Xcode 14.3 (currently in Beta). Apple has removed support for Xcode running under Rosetta. Hope including arm64 is available soon!

[vona-ben]

Note: We are currently working on an iOS SDK Swift Package Manager, which will be available soon. I will keep you updated on the progress in this thread

iOS SDK Version 2.25.1 -- May 2023

• Added support for Swift Package Manager.
• This version removes support for FAT binaries.
• This version fixes linker errors when an application uses multiple WebRTC libraries.
• This version fixes some memory leaks.
• This version fixes an issue where occasionally the app would crash if it was publishing for a very long time.

You can add the Vonage Client SDK Video iOS by adding the https://github.com/opentok/vonage-client-sdk-video.git repository as a Swift Package Dependency.
