Guide to make it work with Swift

[ricardo85x]

I would like to use the DHlibxls, but I have some problem on how to include it in my project.

On README I found this:

Usage: include the enclosed project in your primary Xcode project. Ensure that there is a dependency on it in an Target that uses it. [It does not use categories so no need for "-forceload".]

What you mean with encloused project?
Do you mean only the DHxlsReaderIOS.xcodeproj? or the TestDHlibxls.xcodeproj?
What about the others files and folders?

Thanks

DHxlsReaderIOS - the other project shows a sample use of this project.

Ok I did follow this guide:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9370518/xcode-4-2-how-include-one-project-into-another-one

But I still get this message:

Do you know what it could be?

Ok I did it:
I have to add
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
on my bridge header

But

When I try to build I got this:

ld: warning: ignoring file /Users/ricardo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExcelFinal-btnecoozlgukhpdhbhkymccgggac/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libDHxlsReaderIOS.a, file was built for archive which is not the architecture being linked (arm64): /Users/ricardo/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/ExcelFinal-btnecoozlgukhpdhbhkymccgggac/Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/libDHxlsReaderIOS.a
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:

type metadata accessor for __ObjC.DHxlsReader in ViewController.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

I am stuck again...

Ok I did it:
Follow the steps:

1 - Drag the DHxlsReaderIOS.xcodeproj inside you main project
2 - In you Project/Targets go on Targets and add DHxlsReaderIOS as Target Dependencies
3 - In you Project/Targets go on Build Phases and add libDHxlsReaderIOS.a as "Link Binary With Libraries"
4 - In your Project/Targets go on Build Settings and change the "User Header Search Paths" to "/full/path/of/the/DHlibxls/**"
5 - On DHxlsReaderIOS project on Build Phases, remove the libiconv.dylib
6 - On your project/Targets on Build Settings change the "Architectures" to "$(ARCHS_STANDARD_32_BIT)"
7 - On your project/Targets on Build Settings change the "Build Active Architecture Only" to "NO"
8 - On your project/Targets on Build Settings -> Other Linker Flags add: -libiconv and -ObjC
9 - On DHxlsReaderIOS projectc do the same as item 8
10 - Add a bridge header to you project with: "<Foundation/Foundation.h>" and "DHxlsReader.h"

sample swift code:

[code]
let file : String = NSBundle.mainBundle().pathForResource("test", ofType: "xls")!
let reader = DHxlsReader.xlsReaderWithPath(file)
print(reader.appName())
[/code]

Sorry for my english.

Great! So you added the above comment to show that you got it to work?

I just updated the project to support 64 bit and had to deal with issues relating libiconv - see https://forums.developer.apple.com/thread/4572.

So the project is updated to latest Xcode 7.1, and the Test App also works and runs on a 64 bit device in the simulator.

yes now it is working fine : )
