Swift is not supported for static libraries

[santiagovazquez]

Hi,

I just started a project with RN and I'm trying to use this library (I'm not familiar with iOS development).

I followed the steps on the readme. I did not have the bridging header file so I followed: #14

XCode won't compile my project, I'm getting "Swift is not supported for static libraries" for RNVideoProcessing:

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! 😃

@santiagovazquez hi, please watch this video
https://github.com/shahen94/react-native-video-processing#how-to-setup-library

[santiagovazquez]

Hi @shahen94, thanks for the quick response!

If I follow the video steps, it works (only iOS). But if I run the command for android set up (react-native link react-native-video-processing), it starts to show that message. Any ideas?

[shahen94]

@santiagovazquez seems like you have to link android manually, i'll write about it in readme when i'll have a chance

[shahen94]

when you're running react-native link it tries to link ios again, but since react-native can't link Swift library it starts fail again

[santiagovazquez]

@shahen94 Great, thanks for your help! Awesome library!

One last question, is it possible to use an URL as a source?

My code:

const source = 'http://10.5.5.9:8080/videos/DCIM/100GOPRO/GOPR0238.MP4'
ProcessingManager.trim(source, {startTime: 5, endTime: 10})
  .then((data) => console.log(data))
  .catch(e => console.error(e))

I get this error (iOS):

It works on my terminal if I do wget 'http://10.5.5.9:8080/videos/DCIM/100GOPRO/GOPR0238.MP4'

Unfortunately no, currently you can't process remote video, VideoPlayer can play that but can't trim/compress or do some processing actions. library still working only with assets-library, do you can give a link from CameraRoll

https://github.com/shahen94/react-native-video-processing/blob/master/ios/RNVideoProcessing/RNVideoTrimmer/RNVideoTrimmer.swift#L206

It's not hard to implement, here we have to download remote video, and after that get info. Just I havent time to work on it , so I'll wait for community

[santiagovazquez]

hey @shahen94,

I'm not an iOS developer, so I do not understand completely what I did.

I read this post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/31383655/avassetexportsession-trim-download
and then I changed:
santiagovazquez@5d5755b

Now I'm able to use a remote URL to cut a video (without having to download it) 😄

[shahen94]

Hey @santiagovazquez .
asset.loadValuesAsynchronously yea, you loaded video info asynchronously, probably that's a better idea than downloading video, great job ! 😄

If you can put back quality options and all functionality and keep only this feature,that would be great.

[santiagovazquez]

@shahen94 let me try that and i will do a PR.
thanks for all your help!

[shahen94]

@santiagovazquez thanks for contributing !

@shahen94 I went thru all the steps above & am still having this issue. Xcode automatically created my Bridging Header file inside the RNVideoProcessing group that I created when following the video tutorial. The contents of that file looks like this:

#import "RCTBridgeModule.h"
#import "RNVideoProcessing.h"

I've tried every single combination of imports, such as the following:

#import <RCTRootView.h>
#import <RCTView.h>
#import "RCTBridgeModule.h"
#import "RNVideoProcessing.h"

Do you have any advice for how to get this package working?

Even "Clean" fails...

[shahen94]

Can you please copy/past the error messages ?

[rpastorelle]

I get the exact error listed above: https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/520412/24073932/830f1f4e-0bde-11e7-8779-4a04f9117bd4.png

[shahen94]

@rpastorelle did you run react-native link ?

[rpastorelle]

@shahen94 I ran react-native link first & had this issue. Then I followed the video tutorial and still have the issue.

[shahen94]

Might @santiagovazquez can help you ?

[santiagovazquez]

@rpastorelle I recommend you to clone the repo again and follow the video tutorial

[rpastorelle]

Yeeeahhh. I did that a few times already but I'll give it another shot

[rpastorelle]

I was able to get this working! A couple notes:

• I did not use react-native link (when I did it caused this issue).
• I did not follow the video setup guide (importing that way also created this issue for me)
• I DID follow the manual iOS setup from the README. √

(Also closed #79)

[shahen94]

@rpastorelle So - You mean that the video demonstration doesn't help ?

Where's the problem, but right now linking this library to project is a main issue. The library we wrote on Swift, and react-native can't link Swift libraries automatically (with react-native link command, facebook/react-native#13030). Sorry for you pain, and glad to hear that you could get it to work

[rpastorelle]

@shahen94 Nevermind. It only worked because I didn't compile sources. As soon as I did that I have the same issue again. Still can't use the library :/

Is there a version of this that doesn't use Swift? That seems to be creating all my issues

[shahen94]

@Gevorg94 can you take a look what could be the problem ?

[shahen94]

I just initialized new project, and have been able to compile it with this library,
Please run react-native unlink react-native-video-processing and then again follow to the demo video

[rpastorelle]

@shahen94 Should I run thru the video demo AND run react-native link or just the video demo?

[rpastorelle]

@shahen94 I have finally got this working! Life lesson: Never ever use react-native link with this (swift) library. I also think I may have been having issues because I was opening the ios/ folder instead of the .xcodeproj file in Xcode ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks so much for all your attention!
