Errors

Tried to compile and received a number of errors related to files not being in the proper folders. Been wresting with a few of these example programs for quite a while now. The instructions are vague to say the least, especially for beginners. There appears to be an assumption that everyone is a professional swift coder and can put the pieces together with just a few clues. I don't expect to be taught all the intricacies of swift programming, I completely understand that's my responsibility. However, when I'm told that an example files exist to assist with my education but there is very little supporting documentation to help with learning, it becomes extremely frustrating. Two different approaches would greatly help. First, explain how the program works in some detail and highlight where user information needs to be inserted so the program can be adapted. Some of the examples I've seen in the particle documentation simply provide a block of code along with a statement espousing that the code is needed for logging in, so to speak. I think we all understand there is more involved. Second, make sure the code works. Nothing is more discouraging for a beginner than attempting to compile a program designed for the sole purpose of learning only to receive a number of critical errors. Below are four errors I received when trying to compile the example program "spark-setup-ios-example-master".

I did attempt to move some of the files around but it generated even more errors when doing so. For example, when I researched the first error I found the file structure as indicated in the error did not exist. Further, there is no Keys-dummy.m file. Perhaps it's my responsibly to generate these files somehow but there are no instructions explaining how to do so. Again, for a beginner we need more specificity. It would be very helpful if there was a beginners category where simple concepts could be explained in detail to provide a springboard for more advanced learning.

Shown below are the errors I'm receiving.

Much appreciated if I could get some assistance in figuring out what is happening.

1, clang: error: no such file or directory: '/Users/RS/Desktop/spark-setup-ios-example-master/Pods/Target Support Files/Keys/Keys-dummy.m'

1. clang: error: no input files
2. /Users/RS/Desktop/spark-setup-ios-example-master/Pods/:3:10: '/Users/RS/Desktop/spark-setup-ios-example-master/Pods/Target Support Files/AFNetworking/AFNetworking-prefix.pch' file not found
3. The file “Keys.xcconfig” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file. (/Users/RS/Desktop/spark-setup-ios-example-master/Pods/Target Support Files/Keys/Keys.xcconfig)
