iOS Question trouble with external SDK

[JordiCP]

I need to use an existing IOS SDK into my app, but I am a bit confused about the steps to follow: I have read some posts but it is still unclear to me when a wrapper library is needed or when can it be used directly from inline Objective-C...

This is the platform: https://developer.mocaplatform.com
It is quite large, but I only need an initialization step and declare a callback to be called when a beacon is detected. So, I thought (wished!) that it could be solved using inline objectiveC


For this, I have tried to follow the instructions here: moca-ios-sdk-installation , so I do the following steps

• Download the SDK and decompress it
• Copy the .a and the various .h files to my local builder libs folder
• Then, in my project, I try to just add a single call from inline objective-C

#If OBJC

#import "MOCA.h"

- (void)MocaInit {
    [MOCA initializeSDK];
}
#end if

But the builder tells me that it doesn't find MOCA.h (it exists in the B4iBuildServer Libs folder)

Is this approach correct/possible? How should I proceed to use this SDK?

Have you added a reference to that library with #AdditionalLib ?

Now in the B4I code I have just added

#AdditionalLib: MOCAlib      'also tried with libMOCALib, libMOCALib.a, MOCA

but the error remains the same.

The existing files in the SDK are libMOCALib.a, and some header files: MOCA.h, MOCAAction.h, ...
I have copied them all to the LocalBuilder Libs folder without any folder structure

I'm sure I'm missing/mixing some concepts yet.

Change the h file name to MOCALib.h

I did it but have needed an additional step to make it work. Perhaps this gives a clue of something wrong configured in my mac

#AdditionalJar: MOCALib       ' The .a file is "libMOCALib.a"

#if OBJC
#import "../../../Libs/MOCALib.h"        // <-- only worked with relative path of the libs folder respect to UploadedProjects folder
//#import "MOCALib.h"                      // <-- this didn't work
   
- (void)MocaInit {
   [MOCA initializeSDK];
}
#end if

Not tested yet since I need to setup other things, but now it compiles

 

[Erel]

Try it with:

#import <MOCALib.h>

 

[JordiCP]

Try it with:

#import <MOCALib.h>

Same result. The only combination that seems to compile without error is the one in #5.
