Using CocoaPods with Swift

Question

I'm new to Cocoapods and am trying to use a pod named DateTools in my OS X app Swift project.

I installed Cocoapods, created the podfile, added pod 'DateTools' to it, ran pod install and everything seemed to work fine. (I'm a Ruby dev so I think I got this part right).

As asked by Cocoapods, I now opened my project using the new .xcworkspace file created. I correctly see two projects in Xcode: mine and Pods.

I added a sample model file to my project, let's call it SampleModel but in the code, when I do this:

let date = NSDate()
var year = date.year

I get the error: 'NSDate' does not have a member named 'year'. According to DateTools README, this should work.

As I'm new to both Xcode and Cocoapods, I can't figure out what is the likely error: DateTools not working with Swift or did I fail to import something, somewhere?

You need to import module into your source file

import DateTools

Also, by default is CocoaPods building static libraries - to use those you would need to configure bridging header. Easier way is to make it build dynamic framework by specifying so in Podfile (and run pod install):

use_frameworks!

pod 'DateTools'
