All you need to do is pull the latest version from our git repo & you should be good to use Swift 5.0.

The Blink app is not going to work unless it uses UART communications?

When do you think you'll have resources to updated it?

The Blinky app requires a BLE connection, like the documentation states. I will check internally whether we have the resources to update this soon & get back to you.

Hi Ovrebekk,

unfortunately we're not familiar with Swift. It turns out that your code worked in Swift 4.2 and stopped working with Swift 5.0. Also I don't know why there is no backward compatibility as I think 5.0 has the 4.2 compiler option so I assume it might be a library issue.

Could you ask your developers just to assess what the issue is and what needs updating?

If we know this we might be able to find our own resources locally to update it.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian

None of the iOS experts are available at the moment, so I will step in in the mean time.

According to the app developers the nRF Toolbox app is using the old swift version, and haven't been updated for the last couple of years. In other words it hasn't been tested with the latest version of Xcode and iOS, and might be outdated.

One suggestion I got was to update the EVReflection dependency to version 5.10.1 by altering the Podfile in nRF Toolbox:
https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/IOS-nRF-Toolbox/blob/master/Podfile

You can give it a try, but I don't know if it is sufficient to get the code running.

Would it be possible to use the blinky app as a starting point instead?

This app is being actively maintained, and should work fine with the latest version of the libraries.

Best regards
Torbjørn
