How To Use Parse (Swift, Xcode) - Ep 2 - Integrate Parse SDK with Cocoapods

How To Use Parse with Swift and Xcode
Lesson 2
In this series, I'll show you guys how to leverage Parse in your Xcode projects and apps to save data and media (such as images and sounds) and then to retrieve them through the Parse API.

Parse is a backend as a service that gives your app database abilities without having to manage your own. The free tier is very generous and sufficient for most apps.

In this lesson, we'll install the Parse SDK into our Xcode project as a Cocoapod. This will allow us to easily manage updates to the Parse library. We'll also add the code to initialize and connect our project to the Parse backend.

Thank you so much! This was super helpful! But since sign ups for Parse are closed I was able to set it up on Heroku and followed all your steps, my only problem is that I can't get the client key for the code that I need to put in AppDelegate. Any help?

How come you don't uncomment the line that says uncomment if using swift?

Hi Chris,
I have this error:
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Do you know why?

Thanks

[arthursalgadojj]

how about that error: Code=119 "This user is not allowed to access non-existent class"
I google that but didn't help...

Everything was going fine until I tried to build ParseDemoApp.xcworkspace. It fails with 39 issues all related to Bolts framework; specifically BFTask.h & BFTaskCompletionSource.h... repeated Parse issues, Semantic issues & at the bottom Apple LLVM 6.1 Error. I've tried clean & rebuild, restarting Xcode & creating brand new projects several times. This tutorial is using Xcode 7.2 but I'm on 6.4. Does anyone know if this is an Xcode version issue or something else. Been googling for awhile now but still don't know how to move forward...

Parse will be retired next year, 2017; therefor I cannot sign up for the service. I wish someone here will show me how to connect iOS app with Kinvey. I really appreciate that.
