ST25DVCryptoDemo iOS not working

Andrea123

Hello @all,

 

I've downloaded ST25DVCryptoDemo for iOS from here, in order to take a look into the demo code for a new project.
Once I've tried to build the Demo app I've got a big amount of errors. In fact the console gave me this message "too many errors emitted, stopping now"


Screenshot 2025-10-06 at 12.16.17.png

Could someone please help me to fix those issues and make everything works properly?
I've also download the ST25SDK but, when I've took a look the Readme file I saw that the SDK can be used for Android app and PC app (not iOS app)

Hi,

Our ST25DVCryptoDemo iOS application utilizes J2ObjC, an open-source tool developed by Google, to enable cross-platform code sharing between Android and iOS.

For more details on the compilation process, please refer to an earlier ticket addressing this topic:

Solved: Error while compiling latest IOS NFC source code - STMicroelectronics Community

Hope it helps.

I've tried to do all the instructions that you posted in the other comment.
But it's not working.

I tried both for ST25DVCryptoDemo (version 1.0 build 1.0) and NFCTap (version 23.0 build 1.0).

I've downloaded the master version of J2ObjC.

Once the "make dist" finished to run I've copied and pasted the directory into ST25DVCryptoDemo and NFCTap.

Linked the references of j2ObjC in Build Settings.

Run clean and the build, but it's not working

Hi,

Depending on your environment, the compilation issues could be caused by the following:

  • The header search paths in your build settings might not be in the correct order. Please verify them against my environment, as shown in the attached screenshot.
  • The versions used on st.com rely on J2OBJ version 2.4. The latest version and master branch introduced compatibility breaks with our ST25SDK iOS Objective-C source code.

I recommend switching to version 2.4. If that is not possible, I can provide patches to support the latest J2OBJ version.

Hope it helps. Let us know.

I've tried to clone j2objc 2.4, but I'm not able to run the command make dist.
Here is the make dist command error:

@victor laraison 

can you please help me?
I'm not able to run the command make dist on j2objc version 2.4

I've run git clone https://github.com/google/j2objc.git in order to download J2ObjC

Then I moved into j2objc folder and run git checkout 2.4 in order to get the 2.4 tag.

Then I run make dist and I got this error:

 

make[1]: *** [/Users/degaspaa/j2objc/java_deps/build_result/.maven_generate] Error 6
make: *** [java_deps_dist] Error 2

This usually means a problem running Maven commands or downloading/building Java dependencies.

1) Make sure you have Apache Maven installed and it is accessible from your command line.
bash
mvn -v
J2ObjC requires Maven 3.x 

2. Check Java JDK installation and version
J2ObjC requires a JDK (not just JRE). Verify your Java version:

bash
java -version
javac -version
Ensure you have JDK 8 or higher installed.
If you have multiple Java versions, ensure the JAVA_HOME environment variable points to the correct JDK.

3. Check network and proxy settings
If Maven fails to download dependencies, it could be due to network issues or proxy settings.

Ensure you have internet access.
If behind a proxy, configure Maven proxy settings in ~/.m2/settings.xml.

 

Hope it helps

for  your need, I have uploaded on iCloud shared drive a binary version of J2OBJC V2.4 used within my  environment. You can download then try it with the link
