Language - Swift

Get Started

With the Phidget22 library, it's easy to create Swift applications that work with Phidget devices.

If you've installed the Phidget drivers for macOS or iOS, then you already have the files you need for your project.

You can find examples for macOS and iOS on our Code Samples page. Make sure you download one for the correct OS.

Xcode is an IDE provided by Apple that's used to develop code in a wide variety of programming languages, including Swift.

**Instructions**
Use Our Examples
Start by downloading a Swift example that will work with your Phidget. Open the folder and run Package.swift to open it in Xcode.
Next, simply press run.
Here's what the VoltageInput example will look like when it's running. Try playing around with the device and experiment with some of its functionality. The next step is configuring a new project and writing your own code.
Starting a New Project
Create a new XCode project and select a macOS app.
Name the project, select Swift as the language, and continue.
Now that your project is created, you need to add the Phidget libraries. Go to File > Add Package Dependencies
This will pop up the Swift package manager.
Type this URL into the search bar in the top right: https://www.phidgets.com/git/phidget22-swift.git Then select the phidget22-swift package and click Add Package.
Now you can access the Phidget libraries by adding the following line to the top of your files: import Phidget22Swift The project now has access to Phidgets you can begin coding. See Phidget Programming Basics for guidance on writing your own code.

Starting a New Project
Create a new XCode project and select an iOS app.
Name the project, select Swift as the language, and choose which devices will be supported.
