Bluemix Push Plugin error for Cordova iOS build

Question

I am trying to integrate bluemix push services to my Cordova application. Using the sample from the link below:

https://github.com/ibm-bluemix-mobile-services/bms-samples-cordova-hellopush

When i follow the process on iOS and try to build the app, its giving me the following error on IMFClient from the framework.

Updated:

Answer 1

There seems to be architecture build issue when the app is run on a simulator.

When the app is directly run on a device, I am able to build and run the app. :-)

Answer 2

This may help too: In a previous question, I wrote the steps to set up Cordova and iOS.

Keep in mind you will also have to disable bitcode.

Unable to run bms-samples-cordova-hellopush - bms_samples_cordova_push-Swift.h file not found

---

I was able to get the bms-samples-cordova-hellopush sample application running using the following steps:

1. Cloned the sample:

   git clone https://github.com/ibm-bluemix-mobile-services/bms-samples-cordova-hellopush

2. Added my APPLICATION_ROUTE and APPLICATION_GUID in my [your-directory]/www/js/index.js (after configuring Push Notifications for my Mobile Services Starter application on Bluemix

3. Added the iOS platform to my application:

   cordova platform add ios@3.9

4. Added the Cordova plugin:

   cordova plugin add ibm-mfp-push

5. Opened my [your-app-name].xcodeproj file in my [your-app-name]/platforms/ios directory with Xcode (when I was prompted: Convert to Latest Swift Syntax, I clicked Cancel)

6. Added the Bridging Header. Went to Build settings > Swift Compiler - Code Generation > Objective-C Bridging Header and added the following path:

   [your-project-name]/Plugins/ibm-mfp-core/Bridging-Header.h

7. Add the Frameworks parameter. Went to Build Settings > Linking > Runpath Search Paths and added the following parameter:

   @executable_path/Frameworks

8. Built Project

9. Uncommented the following Push import statements in my bridging header. Went to [your-project-name]/Plugins/ibm-mfp-core/Bridging-Header.h:

10. Updated my client application to use the Push SDK

Here is my updated AppDelegate.m:

10. Ran the sample on an iOS device to actually register and receive Push Notifications

Answer 3

You will see that error if the Bridging-Header.h file has not been correctly configured in the sample.

Please see https://github.com/ibm-bluemix-mobile-services/bms-clientsdk-cordova-plugin-push/#configuration

At the top of your AppDelegate.m:

#import "[your-project-name]-Swift.h"

If your project name has spaces or hyphens, replace them with underscores in the import statement.

And then from https://github.com/ibm-bluemix-mobile-services/bms-clientsdk-cordova-plugin-core#4configuring-your-platform

Add the Bridging Header. Go to Build settings > Swift Compiler - Code Generation > Objective-C Bridging Header and add the following path:

[your-project-name]/Plugins/ibm-mfp-core/Bridging-Header.h

Hope this helps.
