I would like to use a modify version of stripe_ios library in flutter_stripe library to include a missing functionality I added.
for that I downloaded both libraries and copy them inside a packages directory of my flutter app.
then inside pubspec.yaml I declared the library like that:
flutter_stripe:
path: packages/stripe
then in flutter_stripe library folder I edited stripe_ios/ios/stripe_ios.podspec to make Stripe library reference point to my modified version:
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'stripe_ios'
s.version = '0.0.1'
s.summary = 'A new flutter plugin project.'
s.description = <<-DESC
A new flutter plugin project.
DESC
s.homepage = 'http://example.com'
s.license = { :file => '../LICENSE' }
s.author = { 'Your Company' => 'email#example.com' }
s.source = { :path => '.' }
s.source_files = 'Classes/**/*'
s.dependency 'Flutter'
s.dependency 'Stripe'
s.subspec 'Stripe' do |ss|
ss.source_files = '../../library/StripeIos/Stripe'
end
s.platform = :ios, '11.0'
# Flutter.framework does not contain a i386 slice.
s.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'DEFINES_MODULE' => 'YES', 'EXCLUDED_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]' => 'i386' }
s.swift_version = '5.0'
end
But it seems it's not working correctly and when I do pod install from ios folder it seems to download version 21.13.0 of Stripe ios library instead.
any idea how to achieve this correctly ?
I am trying to include .a files on the iOS side of the plugin. Below is my file structure.
Now when I try to add .a files via vendored_libraries on podspec, pod install is successfully completed. And when I compile the code, I get Library Not Found -lAccuraFace
I tried to add the .a file on the Link Binary With Libraries section on the build phase on the Pod target. It's still the same, how can I define the podspec in such a way that the .a file is included and linked automatically.
Here is my podspec file for the plugin
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'accuraemirates'
s.version = '0.0.1'
s.summary = 'A new Flutter plugin.'
s.description = <<-DESC

s.dependency 'Flutter'
s.public_header_files = 'Classes/*{.h}'
s.private_header_files = 'Classes/CodeScan/**/*{.h,.cpp,.a}'
s.platform = :ios, '8.0'
s.preserve_paths = 'opencv2.framework'
s.xcconfig = {
'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-framework opencv2 -lAccuraFace',
}

s.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'DEFINES_MODULE' => 'YES', 'VALID_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]' => 'x86_64' }
s.swift_version = '5.0'
end

Is it not possible to add/link .a libraries from podspec file on a flutter plugin.
Finally found the issue..
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
# other obvious values
s.source_files = 'Classes//*{.h,.a,.swift,.mm,.m,.hpp}'
s.resources = 'Resources//'
s.static_framework = true
s.public_header_files = "Classes/VideoCamera/VideoCameraWrapperDelegate.h", "Classes/VideoCamera/VideoCameraWrapper.h",'Classes/.h',
s.private_header_files = 'Classes/CodeScan//{.h,.cpp,.hpp}'
s.platform = :ios, '8.0'
s.preserve_paths = 'opencv2.framework', 'Classes/Framework/.a'
s.xcconfig = {
# here on LDFLAG, I had to set -l and then the library name (without lib prefix although the file name has it).
'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-framework opencv2 -lc++ -lAccuraFace -lAccuraEmirate -lDocRecog -lz',
'USER_HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS' => '"${PROJECT_DIR}/.."/',
"LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS" => '"${PROJECT_DIR}/.."/*',
}
s.vendored_frameworks = 'opencv2.framework' # Various framworks you need
# Here the name of the library can include lib as the file name has it too.
s.vendored_libraries = 'AccuraFace','libAccuraEmirate','libDocRecog'
end
Notice two values here OTHER_LDFLAGS and vendored_libraries. Although I have same file, they need names with and without lib prefix. Weird but worked.
You definitely CAN add .a libraries, try to check the following configuration path
TARGETS->Build Settings->Search Paths-> Library Search Paths
Right there, add path where .a library was located.
Here is a valid path configuration demo:
==========================================================================
UPDATE
For flutter plugin
As for ship as flutter plugin ,file with .a suffix is actually static library, here is a snippet for how to do it in a .podspec file:
s.subspec 'Core' do |sc|
sc.ios.library = 'z'
sc.frameworks = 'SystemConfiguration', 'QuartzCore', 'CoreText', 'WebKit'
sc.source_files = 'AppboyKit/headers/AppboyKitLibrary/*.h', 'AppboyKit/ABKIdentifierForAdvertisingProvider.m', 'AppboyKit/ABKModalWebViewController.m', 'AppboyKit/ABKNoConnectionLocalization.m', 'AppboyKit/ABKLocationManagerProvider.m'
sc.resource = 'AppboyKit/Appboy.bundle'
sc.vendored_libraries = 'AppboyKit/libAppboyKitLibrary.a'
sc.weak_framework = 'CoreTelephony', 'Social', 'Accounts', 'AdSupport', 'UserNotifications'
end
Pay attention to line start with sc.vendored_libraries there.Here is the complete source.
ios framework into flutter_plugin
import your Famework or library in both path => Flutter_Plugin/example/ios and Flutter_Plugin/ios .
IN Flutter_plugin/ios/flutter_plugin.podspec file
s.preserve_paths = 'YOUR_FRAMEWORK.framework'
s.xcconfig = { 'OTHER_LDFLAGS' => '-framework YOUR_FRAMEWORK' }
s.ios.vendored_frameworks = 'YOUR_FRAMEWORK.framework'
s.ios.vendored_libraries = 'YOUR_FRAMEWORK'
make your framework embeded and signin in xcode(Flutter_Plugin/example/ios).
!sometimes in DerivedData/.../debug_iphone/flutter_plugin.framework - its not there so make that Flutter_plugin.framework move to that debug_iphone folder , it inside the flutter_plugin folder.
I am trying to develop a Flutter plugin for the Tapkey Mobile SDK.
I managed to add their SDK by modifying the podspec of the plugin and the Podfile of the example:
tapkey.podspec:
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'tapkey'
s.version = '0.0.1'
s.summary = 'A tapkey flutter plugin'
s.description = <<-DESC
A tapkey flutter plugin
DESC
s.homepage = 'http://example.com'
s.license = { :file => '../LICENSE' }
s.author = { 'Your Company' => 'email#example.com' }
s.source = { :path => '.' }
s.source_files = 'Classes/**/*'
s.dependency 'Flutter'
s.platform = :ios, '9.0'
s.dependency 'TapkeyMobileLib', '~> 2.5.10.0'
s.static_framework = true
# Flutter.framework does not contain a i386 slice. Only x86_64 simulators are supported.
s.pod_target_xcconfig = { 'DEFINES_MODULE' => 'YES', 'VALID_ARCHS[sdk=iphonesimulator*]' => 'x86_64' }
s.swift_version = '5.0'
end
Podfile:
platform :ios, '9.0'
source 'https://github.com/tapkey/TapkeyCocoaPods'
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
# unmodified Podfile

Could not build the precompiled application for the device.
I have looked at several similar GitHub issues, but could not solve the problem.
I am trying to develop a custom Flutter plugin for iOS.
The customer has shared a Vendor-specific private SDK (Not available in Cocoapods repo) for interacting with external hardware. SDK is in *.framework format.
So I created a new plugin. Inside the plugin, I want to add the SDK dependencies in .podspec file from a local path. How to add this dependency? Is it the right approach or do we have any other option to resolve this problem? Kindly help me.
I was able to resolve this issue by providing all vendor-specific frameworks as s.vendored_frameworks in the podspec configuration of the plugin.
s.vendored_frameworks = 'x1.framework','x2.framework','x3.framework',
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = 'ble'
s.version = '0.0.1'
s.summary = 'A new flutter plugin project.'
s.description = <<-DESC
A new flutter plugin project.
DESC
s.homepage = 'http://example.com'
s.license = { :file => '../LICENSE' }
s.author = { 'Your Company' => 'email#example.com' }
s.source = { :path => '.' }
s.source_files = 'Classes/**/*'
s.public_header_files = 'Classes/**/*.h'
s.ios.deployment_target = '10.0'
s.requires_arc = true
s.ios.frameworks = 'Foundation', 'CoreTelephony', 'Security', 'CoreLocation', 'CoreBluetooth', 'CoreMotion', 'UIKit', 'SystemConfiguration', 'LocalAuthentication', 'CoreML'
s.dependency 'Flutter'
s.vendored_frameworks = 'SeosMobileKeysSDK.framework','BerTlv.framework','CocoaLumberjack.framework','JSONModel.framework','Mixpanel.framework'
end
All framework libraries are placed in the plugin folder itself
I know how to work with cocoapods in a new swift project?
But how can i create my own cocoapod using swift?
pod lib lint produces this error:
- NOTE | [xcodebuild] warning: no rule to process file '/Pod/Classes/SomeClass.swift' of type text for architecture armv7
Edit:
Just found this swift branch:
https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/tree/swift
Cocoapods now supports swift : Pod-Authors-Guide-to-CocoaPods-Frameworks
Although Swift is officially supported, there are no official templates available for Swift and documentation is still slim. Here's a step-by-step tutorial for creating CocoaPods in Swift that may help though.
Essentially the steps are:
Create a git repo
Create your Xcode workspace
Add an iOS/OSX example project
Add Swift framework and make it as a dependency to your example project
Create your pod spec file, here's an example for a Swift pod:
Pod::Spec.new do |s|
s.name = "MySwiftPod"
s.version = "0.1"
s.summary = "This is my amazing Swift CocoaPod!"
s.description = <<-DESC
This is my long description here... yada, yada.

s.homepage = "http://basememara.com/how-to-create-a-cocoapod-with-swift/"
