Swift-Watson-Guis

Please find the GUIs for the 3 SWIFT - Watson LABs:

• My Cognitive Sentiment
• My Cognitive Visual
• My Cognitive Text-to-Speech

As soon as you fork each of the labs you might want to run Carthage to enable Watson SDK frameworks needed in your Swift application. You need to run with the following command from the command line at the root of the project:

carthage update --platform iOS

Installing and running Carthage

The initial setup of the Carthage is the following:

https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#installing-carthage

We will use the Carthage dependency manager to install libraries used by our app. To install Carthage on our system, we can use Homebrew and install the Carthage tool on our system simply by running brew update and brew install carthage. (note: if you previously installed the binary version of Carthage, you should delete /Library/Frameworks/CarthageKit.framework).

If you’d like to run the latest development version (which may be highly unstable or incompatible), simply clone the master branch of the repository, then run make install.

Install the Watson SDK

• In a Bash shell in the root directory of your project run:

cat > cartfile

• Enter the following line:

github "watson-developer-cloud/ios-sdk"

• Enter a new line
• Enter "control+C" to leave the edit

from the command line at the root of the project run the command:

carthage update --platform iOS

If you receive a compile failure for the framework AlamofireObjectMapper, run the command again.

• Getting all the dependencies to the project with the help of the Carthage:

The process will issue “Fetching”, “Checking out” and “Building scheme” messages for the library components, including at the end a set of warnings that can be ignored.

Add the SDK to the Xcode project

Create a new Group in your Xcode project called "Framework" under the project name. And select all the framework files in the Carthage/Build/iOS/ directory of your project (RestKit.framework and your selected service(s)). Drag-and-drop those files from Finder into the new "Framework" group inside of your project in Xcode. When the dialog appears, make sure you deselect the option to copy items. This will create a reference to those Framework files without copying them.

Build target. In the "Build Phases" tab, add a new Copy Files Phase and set its destination to "Frameworks". Copy all the frameworks that have been added one by one.

Section in Build Phases: "Copy Files" - Add all of the frameworks you added to Xcode to the Copy Files Phase.

We will now update info.plist with the ability to call outside services of Watson.Add the following to your info.plist. In order to make network calls to Watson, we need to whitelist the URL to the watsonplatform.net server.
