Pod Written in Obj C to Use in Swift

Question

Is there any possible way to use the pods which is coded in Obj C in Swift language.

Answer 1

You can directly use Objective c pod into your swift project

Example:

Step 1. Go to your project directory in your terminal and type pod init. This will create a pod file, edit the pod file by writing pod 'Toast', '~> 4.0.0'.

# Uncomment the next line to define a global platform for your project
# platform :ios, '9.0'

target 'ObjcPOD' do
  # Comment the next line if you're not using Swift and don't want to use dynamic frameworks
  use_frameworks!
pod 'Toast', '~> 4.0.0'
  # Pods for ObjcPOD

end

Step 2. Run the command pod install in the terminal which will install pod into your project and thus generating .xcodeworkspace file. Open that file and then write:

import UIKit
import Toast

class ViewController: UIViewController {
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        self.view.makeToast("Toast Here")
    }
}

Now you can run the app, done!

Answer 2

Just use use_frameworks! flag in the podfile before giving pod name that you want to install like this:

   // Podfile
use_frameworks!
pod 'CoolObjectiveCLib'
