Is the Janrain iOS library for Engage compatible with IOS 5?
I am just getting started with the Engage iOS SDK too. The instructions on the Janrain site are not for iOS 5 / Xcode 4. They are targeted at earlier versions of iOS running under Xcode 3. It is still possible to drag/drop the JREngage source folder into your project. The trick is to not use a project that has ARC enabled. When you enable ARC you will get all sorts of compiler errors and warnings and it will fail to build. If you create a new project in Xcode 4 and uncheck the Use Automatic Reference Counting option it should build okay.
I have submitted a support request to Janrain in hopes of getting some clarification on whether this is expected behavior and what their plans are for supporting ARC. When I get a response I will update my comment here.
Here is the response I received from Janrain. It looks like the Engage SDK does not build with ARC enabled, but following their suggested steps you can have it built without ARC within a project that does use ARC.
To use ARC with the Janrain Engage for iOS library, please follow these steps:
- Go to your project settings, select your application's target(s) and click the "Build Phases" tab
- Expand the section named "Compile Sources"
- Select all the files from the JREngage library, including SFHFKeychainUtils.m and JSONKit.m
- Hit Enter, to edit all the files at once, and in the floating text box add the
-fno-objc-arccompiler flag
