I think over the next few weeks I will try to get up to speed with your
codebase enough that I can make patches. I would like to make the changes
specified in bug 771860, comment 6 , as well as some other changes to the
generated framework so it can be used with Carthage. This requires me to get
familiar with your cerbero recipes which have a steep learning curve. If I can
succeed at this, it should make it much easier to install the framework and no
longer require the template at all. I would appreciate any advice.

For now I've hand-coded it (it's just a hack/proof of concept). I'm sure I've
made errors with the memory management as I'm neither an Objective C programmer
nor a C programmer so I'm fumbling around a bit. Over the next few weeks I'd
like to migrate to a code-gen approach using the GIR file, similar to how the
C# bindings work. Here, for example, is the Objective-C header file:

And here is a swift translation of one of your ios demos (although I've changed
the launch string):

https://gist.github.com/nkallen/6e3f5cf4e174a9d4f9d915fa9ca7a1a3#file-gstreamerservice-swift

The above actually works.

I'd like to make this a public package in some way. Do you have any advice
Sebastian?
