Carthage support? about appcenter-sdk-apple

[hixfield]

+1 for getting Carthage support

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

Hey Flo,

on the list, no promises for an ETA, hopefully this year ;)

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

Hi guys, because of the 0.19 release of carthage, I'm actually looking at this =) – I just got "interrupted" by other things.

Stay tuned!

[erichoracek]

Carthage (0.19 and above) has added support for binary downloads, by uploading a JSON file with references to the prebuilt binaries by version number e.g.:

binary "https://my.domain.com/release/MyFramework.json"

See the JSON file spec here.

Is this something that could work here?

@TroubleMakerBen Thanks for the reply, what work is required to make this repo carthage compatible?

[Cosmo]

@TroubleMakerBen Thanks!
I found out, that adding the frameworks for AppCenter manually was quite easy. I won't automatically know when to update -- but still better than using Cocoapods :)

@nboyd-sportdx Check the “Integration by copying the binaries into your project” section.

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

Quick update: it's on our radar but we have to postpone Carthage for now. I can't provide an ETA but believe me: it's something I really really want to do.

+1 would love this

[twodayslate]

Support has been added as far as I am aware. Close this?

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

Hey all,
@twodayslate Carthage support has been added to MC's build-feature but the SDKs cannot be integrated using Carthage at the moment.
Unfortunately, we have to delay shipping Carthage support for the SDKs to fall. iOS 11 is coming up faaast. It's unfortunate, as I wanted to ship this real soon, but we need to focus right now.

Please bear with us and thanks a ton for your patience.*

*We happily review and accept any PRs ;)

[twodayslate]

Ah. I was confusing Carthage support for mobile center in general. My apologies.

[7sharp9]

Is it possible to use this repo as a carthage dependency? I tried and only one framework was produced rather than the three required?

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

Hey @7sharp9,

Our SDK is currently not carthage compatible. Support/compatibility for Carthage is on the list but I still can't give you an ETA for it.

Best,
Benjamin

I'm about to start a new project and was wondering, if this is still an open issue.
And if so, are there any workarounds?

Thanks!

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

@Cosmo yes, this is still an issue that we haven't found the time to work on and I can't give you an ETA when we'll be able to add support for integration via Carthage.

@7sharp9
Last time I looked into it – which was earlier this year and things were very much still in flux – the issue was related to the fact that the different modules, e.g. AppCenterAnalytics depend on the AppCenter module that contains the shared code which gave carthage some trouble.
Feel free to give it a shot and we'd happily accept PRs.

[andrewebling]

What's the latest on this please? Really would strongly prefer not to have to switch my project to Cocoapods - in fact I'd be more likely to not use the SDK until Carthage is supported.

[ElektrojungeAtWork]

It's still on our backlog but no ETA for this, you can add the SDK as a source/git submodule or drag'n'drop the binaries yourselves in the meantime.

[nboyd-sportdx]

can you elaborate on that? where are the binaries, etc
