struggling for days over the tutorials of Cheetomoskeeto.

everything has changed since these were made 9 years ago. With much effort (stuck for days) I can get to tutorial 7. almost 8. "UIAlertView" has been depreciated. I cannot find a fix anywhere. "Skip it", one comment said. Build now fails.

Cheeto's sidedrawer doesn't have 'SceneDelegate' for example. The code shown in the video does not exist anywhere. Clearly new version of Xcode has reorganized everything.

I have been cross referencing with this tutorial - it sets up Swift rather than Objective-C, https://defuncart.com/blog/tech/2015/09/22/making-ios-music-apps-with-pure-data-libpd-swift.html
I added a bridging header, Tried to follow exactly the instructions. No go.

Are there any updated tutorials for 2024? Can anyone walk me thru this - willing to pay a tutor for zoom call assistance in setting up Xcode & Swift with Pd.

Any pointers greatly appreciated!

Try the mailing list. All the devs are there, including the LibPd devs/maintainers.

If you are set on using just the native iOS UI tools this solution probably won't work, But I maintain a cordova plugin for libpd, you can find it here: https://github.com/robertesler/cordova-pd. There are instructions on how to use it on the README page. With cordova you can use HTML5/Javascript for your UI and interface with a Pd patch. Cordova will allow you to create an iOS platform which generates an Xcode project.
Otherwise, the examples on the pd-for-ios still 'should' work. I haven't tested all of them for at least a year, but that is also worth a shot if you really need to use native iOS UI tools.
Good luck!

Thank you. I will try elsewhere.
Hope the devs aren't overly cranky... I am trying to RTFM, but where to find it?
