Storage API is unreleased

[rnikander]

The documentation for the storage API says to download the latest release and extract the .framework files:

https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-ios/tree/master/sdk/storage/AzureStorageBlob

But, the latest release (1.0.0-beta) doesn't seem to have those files.

Hi @rnikander, The AzureStorageBlob library is still in active development and we haven't yet published a release. The installation instructions will be updated before we publish our first release, but for now there is no release version you can consume.

If you'd like to give it a try (in its development state, of course), you can clone the Git repository and import the AzureCore and AzureStorageBlob libraries. Keep in mind, this code is still in a very early state and should not be used for production applications.

Since this is likely to be a common refrain until storage is released I have pinned this issue.

Storage is not released in any preview form.

For folks needing Storage, this Objective-C-based library from the Storage team is probably your best bet: https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-ios

We need Storage and tried using https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-ios as suggested.

Our first attempt at building ended up with this error.

Based on that error we found suggestions to build the framework manually

We ended up with "legacy build system" error that causes the build to fail

Any suggestions on how to get this working?

You would need to engage the maintainers in the https://github.com/Azure/azure-storage-ios repo.

Closing this issue as PR #1336 removed the experimental storage code from the main branch.
