This is version 2. I have ugraded the entire project to use Carthage, Alamofire and SwiftyJSON. And the app can only support iOS8+, if you want to support iOS7 or use CocoaPods and AFNetworking. Please have a look at README.v1.md and Release Using Cocoapods and AFNetworking. Happy coding.

Known issues

Because we are using Carthage to build the third party packages. There are some build warings like ld: warning: linking against dylib not safe for use in application extensions: /Build/Products/Debug-iphoneos/Alamofire.framework/Alamofire

How to build

Because the app uses carthage, we need to install carthage. To install the carthage tool on your system, please download and run the Carthage.pkg file for the latest release, then follow the on-screen instructions..

1. Open Terminal app.
2. Change directory to the project folder. cd $project_dir
3. Use ls to list all the file to check whether Cartfile file is in the folder?
4. If the Cartfile has been found, then execute carthage update.This will fetch dependencies into a Carthage/Checkouts folder, then build each one.
5. On your application targets’ “General” settings tab, in the “Linked Frameworks and Libraries” section, drag and drop each framework you want to use from the Carthage/Build folder on disk. In our project, which are Alamofire and SwiftyJSON
6. Press Cmd + B to build the app.
7. Press Cmd + R to run the app on Simulator.
