trying to work with EDSDK from Canon using Xcode

Question

just tried to install the EDSDK framework into the Xcode project framework folder. However I cannot run anything, as I am getting a lot of error messages. for example at this position in the EDSDK.h file:

EdsUInt32 EDSAPI EdsRetain(  EdsBaseRef  inRef );

I get the error message:

A parameter list without types is only allowed in a function definition

I get these all over the place. I really would like to make an MacOS app that takes an image and saves an image with a certain name.

Answer 1

The EDSDK should include two sample XCode projects written in Objective-C, namely:

• CameraControl -- controlling the camera
• RawDevelop -- processing (raw) images downloaded from the camera

If you'd like to skip the Objective-C part, you could bridge this into Swift yourself. Alternatively, have a look at the most recent PowerShot G7X SDK where Swift is used to make a similar example project.
