Cannot add geofence on iOS device about ionic-geofence

[bob1th]

I think for ios testing, you need to add the geofence plugin. However, when I do, I get compile errors with Swift using SDKROOT = iphonesimulator8.3. I am not familiar with Swift at all, so can't really tell what's wrong.

Sample error message:

.../.../ionic-geofence/platforms/ios/ionic-geofence/Plugins/com.cowbell.cordova.geofence/SwiftData.swift:1018:149: error: 'AnyObject' is not convertible to 'String'; did you mean to use 'as!' to force downcast?
let docsPath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSSearchPathDirectory.DocumentDirectory, NSSearchPathDomainMask.UserDomainMask, true)[0] as String
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~

In my case, the compile error was due to the fact that I have the latest Xcode 6.3 beta 2 with Swift 1.2. I had to convert swift codes to Swift1.2 and everything worked.

I believe that should be fixed by now.
