Running Swift Code from Juce Project?

#1

Hi all,

I’ve written some some code in Swift using the Accessibility framework and want to use this in one of my Juce projects. Googling around I could only find advice how to use c++ code in Swift projects but not the other way around.

In my case, I simply want to call a swift function from c++ and returning a simple boolean.

Thanks
Stefan

You can’t call Swift from C++ (that I’m aware of) but you can from Objective-C++. So instead of adding a .cpp file to your project, and a .mm

Then you’ll need to follow the steps here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/imported_c_and_objective-c_apis/importing_swift_into_objective-c

If you keep your header pure C++ then normal C++ can use your function / class. Keep all the Objective-C++ that interfaces to the Swift in the .mm file.

You will need to be outside of what Projucer can do, so you’ll need to maintain your project yourself.

Thanks G-Mon,

I‘ll have a look at this.

cheers,
