Catch Objective-C exceptions in Swift

Overview

ExceptionCatcher

Catch Objective-C exceptions in Swift

There are many Cocoa APIs that can throw exceptions that cannot be caught in Swift (NSKeyedUnarchiver, NSTask, NSObject#value(forKey:), etc). This package wraps an Objective-C exception handler to make it possible to catch such exceptions.

The ability to catch exceptions should really be built into Swift. If you agree, duplicate this Feedback Assistant report.

Install

Add the following to Package.swift:

.package(url: "https://github.com/sindresorhus/ExceptionCatcher", from: "2.0.0")

Or add the package in Xcode.

Usage

import Foundation
import ExceptionCatcher

final class Foo: NSObject {}

do {
	let value = try ExceptionCatcher.catch {
		return Foo().value(forKey: "nope")
	}

	print("Value:", value)
} catch {
	print("Error:", error.localizedDescription)
	//=> Error: [valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key nope.

	debugPrint(error)
	/*

  • complied xcframwork throws

    complied xcframwork throws "missing required module 'internal'"

    I have my own framework and that is now dependent on ExceptionCatcher.

    After compiling my framework to xcframework and then using into test app, before distribution is throwing error at build time with the message `missing required module "internal"'

    Do you know how can I get this internal module of exceptionCatcher into the xcframework?

  • SPM Warning with deployment target iOS 13+

    SPM Warning with deployment target iOS 13+

    Our current deployment target: iOS 13.0 And we get the following error for the added Swift package:

    The iOS Simulator deployment target 'IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET' is set to 8.0, but the range of supported deployment target versions is 9.0 to 14.0.99.
    

    A version bump to v9 in the Package.swift could solve the problem. If you mind I can open a PR for that.

  • Allow for throwing function in closure

    Allow for throwing function in closure

    Hi, nice library!

    I've added the possibility of passing a throwing function as the callback. I don't think this impacts existing code, since you can still call it with a non-throwing function.

Swift Property Wrappers, but in Objective-C. And done horribly.

TOPropertyAccessor is an open source, Objective-C abstract class. Similar to Realm's Cocoa API, it uses the dynamic nature of the Objective-C runtime to access the properties of any of its subclasses, and routes calling them through overridable access points.
