good to hear ;-)

what you can do is to create multiple UI View Controllers and implement some of them in Swift (for example, one for the About Page, one for the Options menu, etc...)  and then have the AR OpenGL view controller (with Vuforia code) written in Objective-C and C++ / OpenGL.

Using a bridging header you can then "communicate" across different View Controllers (i.e. among different classes).

We have successfully tested this scenario and it worked for us (but there is no tutorial available at this time);

How do you get around the deployment target issue?

For my application the Vuforia libraries break when my deployment target is set above 6.1.

But the minimum for Swift is 7.0. Any help wo0uld be appreciated.

 

Cheers

This issue has been fixed (thanks Alessandro). See the thread: https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/ios/samples-targeting-ios8

You are going to have to wrap the C++ code in Objective-C wrappers as swift is unable to use C++ code.
