IBDesignables and IBInspectables #335

raulriera · 2015-02-15T14:13:44Z

Might not be an issue of Carthage per say. But I have ran into problems using IB Designables and IB Inspectables on frameworks using Carthage. Have you encountered this before?

Two examples are MengTo/Spring#11 (comment) and https://github.com/raulriera/TextFieldEffects both are affected by this

robb · 2015-02-15T15:45:09Z

You happen to have a build log?

raulriera · 2015-02-15T16:13:07Z

From carthage update? nothing stands out

*** Building scheme "Alamofire iOS" in Alamofire.xcworkspace
*** Building scheme "Alamofire OSX" in Alamofire.xcworkspace
*** Building scheme "KeychainAccess-iOS" in KeychainAccess.xcworkspace
*** Building scheme "KeychainAccess-Mac" in KeychainAccess.xcworkspace
*** Building scheme "OAuthSwift" in OAuthSwift.xcodeproj
*** Building scheme "Spring" in SpringApp.xcodeproj
*** Building scheme "SwiftyJSON" in SwiftyJSON.xcworkspace
*** Building scheme "TextFieldEffects" in TextFieldEffects.xcodeproj

Are the logs somewhere else?

robb · 2015-02-15T16:39:48Z

Hmm, maybe running the latest carthage with --verbose?

raulriera · 2015-02-15T16:46:24Z

Hmm, seems to build correctly. If you build the framework without Carthage and integrate it, do your custom views show up correctly in Interface Builder?

raulriera · 2015-02-15T17:38:47Z

Hmmm, building the project and the adding the resulting framework from the derived data folder has the same result (can't be used in Storyboards)... Maybe I am doing something wrong here with these frameworks

robb · 2015-02-15T18:02:36Z

I'm tentatively closing this one then, since it seems to be either a configuration issue or an issue with Xcode. Feel free to reopen this if you have any new insights ✌️

raulriera · 2015-05-05T10:26:07Z

Apparently this is a limitation in frameworks? when they are compiled all the IBDesignable and IBInspectable information is lost.

Have you guys ever created a reusable .framework file that supports them?

yoichitgy · 2015-05-10T13:03:34Z

I had the same issue. It looks a limitation of a built framework. Check the header file (TargetName-Swift.h) in the built framework folder. It has no information for IBDesignable and IBInspectable though IBOutlet can be marked to properties in the header file. For now, the framework project must be added to your product project to enable IBDesignable and IBInspectable, or just use User Defined Runtime Attributes instead. I hope a future update of Xcode solve the issue.

cybertk · 2015-09-06T12:48:01Z

Still no good on Xcode 7 Beta 6

BarlowTucker · 2015-10-14T20:37:30Z

Has anyone else filed an issue with Apple yet?

https://openradar.appspot.com/23114017

raulriera · 2015-10-14T20:39:32Z

I did, it was marked as duplicate a loooong time ago

tylerlong · 2016-06-04T15:34:05Z

The issue was reported 16 months ago and there is still no ideal solution.

I have a workaround for this problem and I posted it onto stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29933691/ibdesignable-from-external-framework/37631860#37631860 The basic idea is to create a sub class for the view in the destination app:

@IBDesignable
class MyCustomView: CustomView {

    @IBInspectable override var bgColor: NSColor {
        get {
            return super.bgColor
        }
        set {
            super.bgColor = newValue
        }
    }
}

Please read here for more details: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29933691/ibdesignable-from-external-framework/37631860#37631860

If you like it please vote up. 👍

I found a way to have designables work with Cocoa Touch frameworks. You can supply a source file where designable attributes are provided on categories, and which clients can then use when compiling their project.

For full details, please read http://stackoverflow.com/a/39999914/760435

Forgive me commenting after closed, but I want to add a simple conclusion to this issue. It's sometimes hard to read all comments in SO for non-native English reader.

For library author, this solves the issue.

agiguere · 2017-01-10T17:28:58Z

Xcode 8 and Swift 3, 1 year later, still no solution ???

farshadtx · 2017-02-06T03:54:21Z

Still no solution to this issue ?

SirWellington · 2017-09-22T22:11:18Z

Bump. Any word?

mdiep · 2017-10-03T07:55:19Z

This is an Apple/Xcode limitation. It’s not something that Carthage can fix.
