UIApplication.sharedApplication() is unavailable

I just upgraded from XCode 6.4 to Xcode 7 GM and get started to change the code to be compliant with Swift 2. I could not come over the following errors.

The project is a keyboard extension and the snippet is from the containing app. 

    let s = "https://itunes.apple.com/"
    UIApplication.sharedApplication().openURL(NSURL(string : s)!)

Error 1: 'sharedApplication()' is unavailable: Use view controller based solutions where appropriate instead.

Error 2: 'openURL' is unavailable.

This might be something to do with Xcode and AppDelegate, I might have screwed up my project.

Solution

  • The classes in containing app somehow went in to the compile resources list in the extension Build Phases. I deleted them, it is ok now.

    I did not do that. Obviously upgrade to Xcode 7 GM process somehow did it.
