9,123 PointsAdding Custom Controls to Xcode Project from 3rd party source.
Hello!
This question might be too broad but I want to see if I can get some answers to have a better concept understanding. I am using Swift in Xcode and I want to know when adding custom controls, for example like the downpicker, what is require to get it to work?
https://www.cocoacontrols.com/controls/downpicker
The directions states using Cocoapods but if I am downloading the files instead from the Manual install method do I need to import something like import UIKit in the Control file?
Unfortunately I am having trouble grasping the concept of applying custom controls from outside sources. I have not been successful applying outside code. Perhaps I need more help with applying the MVC model.
Thank you, Erik
