How to set up Google Tag Manager in Swift

I'm currently looking into setting up Google Tag Manager in iOS Swift. The Google developer docs currently don't have anything on Swift, only on Objective-C. Does anyone have any experience with setting up GTM in Swift?

The current iOS docs can be found here: https://developers.google.com/tag-manager/ios/v3/

Thanks a lot to anyone who can point me in the right direction!

FWIW, the ios doc are outdated and the screenshots actually point to a prior version of GTM. Additionally, the code example in ObjC uses a deprecated call to load the container. - Steve

first off I might be a bit too late in helping you here, secondly: I just started implementing this for my app today, and since I write it in Swift, I obviously have the same issue as you. However, I managed to install the SDK now and I can access the TAGManager and the code to open the container.

I installed the SDK using CocoaPods, so unless you also do that I can't really help you with adding the SDK to your project. I would really recommend using CocoaPods though. But since the SDK is written i ObjC you need to bridge the header files in order to use it in swift.

Here is the CocoaPod for Google Tag Manager: https://cocoapods.org/pods/GoogleTagManager

And here is the link I used to get the header files to bridge:http://thiagoborg.es/blog/2014/10/29/manage-objective-c-dependencies-with-cocoapods-on-swift-project/

In the link you provided I'm currently at Getting Started - 3. Opening a Container. Unfortunately I can't get it to open, it stated that it can't find my binary.

Hope this helps somewhat, though :)!

Anyone coming across this may have been frustrated by the rogue tutorials floating around for version 3 of Google Tag Manager. Your Bridging header will not compile !

What you want is the version 5 of Tag Manager
