apple_swift_logo

Xcode 7.3 came with Swift 2.2 Version. I just updated to Xcode 7.3 and found following warnings because of Swift version change.

List of warnings with it’s solution:

  1. ‘var’ parameters are deprecated and will be removed in Swift 3
  2. Warning Function Var
    Warning Function Var

    Warning with:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    func functionTest(var param:String) {
    print(param)
    }
    [/code]
    Solution:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    func functionTest(param:String) {
    print(param)
    }
    [/code]
    If you want to update that variable inside the function then you have to create copy of that variable to do operations on that.

  3. Use of string literal for Objective-C selectors is deprecated; use ‘#selector’ instead
  4. Warning Selector
    Warning Selector

    Warning with:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    btn.addTarget(self, action: "functionName", forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    [/code]
    OR
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    btn.addTarget(self, action: Selector("functionName"), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    [/code]
    Solution:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    btn.addTarget(self, action: #selector(ViewController.functionName), forControlEvents: UIControlEvents.TouchUpInside)
    [/code]
    Apple Documentation : Added information about the #selector syntax for Objective-C selectors to the Selector Expression section.

  5. ‘++’ is deprecated: it will be removed in Swift 3
  6. Warning ++
    Warning ++

    Warning with:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    var i = 0
    for str in arrStr {
    print(str)
    i++
    }
    [/code]
    Solution:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    var i = 0
    for str in arrStr {
    print(str)
    i += 1
    }
    [/code]
    Apple Documentation : Removed discussion of C-style for loops, the ++ prefix and postfix operators, and the — prefix and postfix operators.

  7. C-style for statement is deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Swift
  8. Warning For Statement
    Warning For Statement

    Warning with:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    for var i=0; i<arrStr.count; i += 1 {
    print(arrStr[i])
    }
    [/code]
    Solution:
    [code language=”obj-c”]
    for i in 0 ..< arrStr.count {
    print(arrStr[i])
    }
    [/code]

  9. __FILE__ is deprecated and will be removed in Swift 3, please use #file

How to create a wrapper for Alamofire and SwiftyJSON? Swift – iOS

This blogpost updated with Swift 3 – Xcode 8 – iOS 10 – Alamofire 4.0

AFWrapper

I have posted a basic tutorial about Alamofire and SwiftyJSON How to use Alamofire and SwiftyJSON with Swift?
And some day before we have learned about Use of Blocks(Closures) or Completion Handlers with Function in Swift – iOS
Let’s combine both the topics to make a WRAPPER of Alamofire and SwiftyJSON.

Use of Blocks(Closures) or Completion Handlers with Function in Swift – iOS

Blocks in Objective-C

In Objective-C we are using the blocks(completion handlers) with functions as follows :

[code language=”obj-c”]
– (void)yourFunctionName:(NSString *)yourString withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(NSString *yourResult))block;
[/code]

Closures in Swift

Closures are self-contained blocks of functionality that can be passed around and used in your code. Closures in Swift are similar to blocks in C and Objective-C and to lambdas in other programming languages.

Syntax with Function

[code language=”obj-c”]
func yourFunctionName(parameter:Type, … , withCompletionHandler:(result:Type) -> Void)
[/code]
For more closure syntax : goshdarnclosuresyntax.com

Example

Function Definition:
[code language=”obj-c”]
func closureReturn(isTest:Bool, withCompletionHandler:(result:String) -> Void) {
if(isTest){
withCompletionHandler(result: "Yes")
}
else{
withCompletionHandler(result: "No")
}
}
[/code]
Calling Function:
[code language=”obj-c”]
closureReturn(true) { (result) -> Void in
print(result)
}
[/code]
Output should be respective to value true/false.


In next post I will write a tutorial on a wrapper class for Alamofire with use of SwiftyJSON by using closures.

It will be related to this post How to use Alamofire and SwiftyJSON with Swift? – Swift 2 – iOS 9 – Xcode 7

Happy Coding 🙂

Issue "This certificate has an invalid issuer" because of Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Intermediate Certificate Expiration

I am posting this article because many users are facing this issue like “This certificate has an invalid issuer”

This certificate has an invalid issuer
This certificate has an invalid issuer

As apple have written :

The Apple Worldwide Developer Relations Certification Intermediate Certificate expires soon and we’ve issued a renewed certificate that must be included when signing all new Apple Wallet Passes, push packages for Safari Push Notifications, and Safari Extensions starting February 14, 2016.

As I found an answer in post on the Stack Overflow : This certificate has an invalid issuer regrading Intermediate Certificate Expiration

Follow this steps :

  1. Open KeyChain access, Delete “Apple world wide Developer relations certification authority” (Which expires on 14th Feb 2016) from both “Login” and “System” sections. If you can’t find it, use “Show Expired Certificates” in the View menu
  2. Download AppleWWDRCA.cer and add it to Keychain access > certificates (which expires on 8th Feb 2023)
  3. Everything should be back to normal and working now (Check the certificate is valid and it should be display in green)

It will create the basic methods of core data in to the AppDelegate.swift

There is core data model called {YOUR-PROJECT.xcdatamodeld} will be there with the project.

It will be look like as follows :
