I discovered that the migration tool seems to work fine if you update to swift 2.3. This is what I did to run this tutorial. I also was missing the rw_icon.png. I did not think about looking for it here in the comments (silly me). I did find it online with a google search, but it was 500x500 pixels, so I have to edit is a little for it to work.

That is my story. I am sticking to it.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Hi,
As discussed above I got various compile error on migration to Swift3. I resolved them as per the auto-suggestions from Xcode. The app comes up fine, however the UI is blank. Is there something specific I can look for.

Regards,
Vishal

Looks like there are no events for the default user mentioned in the code. Changed the username and it worked

Hi! great tutorial but I’m struggling building the example code after converting it to Swift 3 in Xcode 8 obtaining 2 errors:
Type ‘GitHubDataFileProvider’ does not conform to protocol ‘GitHubDataProvider’
and
Type ‘GitHubDataNetworkProvider’ does not conform to protocol ‘GitHubDataProvider’
if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi @lojedi,

I’ve got an updated version of this project on the Swift 3 branch of this repo:

Note that I’ve only updated this project, and not the other two in the repo.

Hope that’s of some help

I’m having the same problem. I downloaded the new HubEvent code and it works fine (Thankyou Sam) and I changed the AppIcon as indicated for the 512 2x to the new one but it’s still showing the default icon. I searched elsewhere and found a suggestion to do : rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall Dock
tried that a couple of times but am still seeing the default.
I also tried changing the bundle identifier and changed the team for the signing certificate to my own, but still get the default. I note that rw_icon.png Is actually 1024x1024. I guess that corresponds to 512 2x. using Xcode 8.2.1

Hi!

I am also having problems building the project. I saw your comment above and downloaded HubEvent_7.1.zip from IntroToOSX/00_geting_started at swift3 · sammyd/IntroToOSX · GitHub, but that has the same problem. When I open the project in Xcode it tells me ‘The targets “HubEvent” and “GitHubData” contain source code developed with an earlier version of Swift.’ If I convert them to a newer version, I get lots of errors when building. Can you let me know what I’m doing wrong please?

Hi all,

You might be better looking at the updated version of this series of articles:

https://www.raywenderlich.com/151741/macos-development-beginners-part-1

The samples are different, but it should be up-to-date for the latest versions of Xcode and Swift.
