Proposer
Proposer provides a simple API to request permission for access Camera, Photos, Microphone, Contacts, Location.
Requirements
Swift 1.2, iOS 8.0
Example
Only one single API:
proposeToAccess(_:agreed:rejected:)
In real world:
import Proposer
@IBAction func choosePhoto() {
let photos: PrivateResource = .Photos
proposeToAccess(photos, agreed: {
if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.SavedPhotosAlbum) {
let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
imagePicker.sourceType = .SavedPhotosAlbum
self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
}, rejected: {
self.alertNoPermissionToAccess(photos)
})
}
When you want to get user's location, thanks to Swift's enum, you can even choose the usage mode:
@IBAction func shareLocation() {
let location: PrivateResource = .Location(.WhenInUse)
proposeToAccess(location, agreed: {
print("I can access Location. :]\n")
}, rejected: {
self.alertNoPermissionToAccess(location)
})
}
Depending on your needs, you must add a NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription
or NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription
to your Info.plist
See the demo for more information.
I recommend you add a UIViewController+Proposer.swift
file (like the demo) for show localized alert before the first proposal or when propose failed.
Installation
Feel free to drag Proposer.swift
to your iOS Project. But it's recommended to use CocoaPods or Carthage.
CocoaPods
CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects.
CocoaPods 0.36 adds supports for Swift and embedded frameworks. You can install it with the following command:
$ [sudo] gem install cocoapods
To integrate Proposer into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile
:
source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '8.0'
use_frameworks!
pod 'Proposer', '~> 0.6.2'
Then, run the following command:
$ pod install
You should open the {Project}.xcworkspace
instead of the {Project}.xcodeproj
after you installed anything from CocoaPods.
For more information about how to use CocoaPods, I suggest this tutorial.
Carthage
Carthage is a decentralized dependency manager for Cocoa application. To install the carthage tool, you can use Homebrew.
$ brew update
$ brew install carthage
To integrate Proposer into your Xcode project using Carthage, specify it in your Cartfile
:
github "nixzhu/Proposer" >= 0.6.2
Then, run the following command to build the Proposer framework:
$ carthage update
At last, you need to set up your Xcode project manually to add the Proposer framework.
On your application targets’ “General” settings tab, in the “Linked Frameworks and Libraries” section, drag and drop each framework you want to use from the Carthage/Build folder on disk.
On your application targets’ “Build Phases” settings tab, click the “+” icon and choose “New Run Script Phase”. Create a Run Script with the following content:
/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks
and add the paths to the frameworks you want to use under “Input Files”:
$(SRCROOT)/Carthage/Build/iOS/Proposer.framework
For more information about how to use Carthage, please see its project page.
