In my tvOS app, I have a class that generates sample data to work with.
import Foundation
import UIKit
class SampleData {
class func initializeSampleData() -> [Object] {
var data = [Object]()
// Cities

I want to be able to call that same class function to retrieve the same data from inside my topshelf ServiceProvider.swift. When I try the following code, Xcode gives me an "use of unresolved identifier SampleData" :
var topShelfItems: [TVContentItem] {
let objects = SampleData.initializeSampleData()
//return []
}
Any help is much appreciated.
When you want to share files between targets (iphone/ipad/tv/watch/other services), click on the file in Xcode, you on the right part of the screen, you will see a "target membership" option. Select whichever target you want your code to be accessible to.
Now that I have answered my own question, my advice: DO NOT retrieve data to your topshelf the way I was going about it. There is a predefined way of getting data into topshelf. Just download the code sample from Apple here and look at the code: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/samplecode/UICatalogFortvOS/Introduction/Intro.html
