Developers Language Support

We are proud to announce v0.2.1 of IcpKit.swift for iOS with the following features :

  • .did file parser
  • CodeGenerator to produce Swift code from any .did file
  • CandidEncoder/Decoder for converting any Codable Swift value to a Candid Value and vice versa

With these enhancements, the IcpKit.swift Library can be used to interact with any ICP canister using native iOS methods and types.

Installation and Documentation

Installation instructions and more technical details can be found on our github.

Conversion rules between Swift and Candid

A comprehensive list of types as well notes regarding each type can be found in Swift/Candid conversion rules

Examples
