Creating a Custom Capacitor Plugin with Native Swift Code for iOS

We will be requiring two Swift files:

1. ARPlugin.swift

1import Capacitor
2
3@objc(ARPlugin)
4public class ARPlugin: CAPPlugin {
5    @objc func open(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
6        DispatchQueue.main.async {
7            let arViewController: ARViewController = UIStoryboard(name: "AugmentedReality", bundle: nil).instantiateInitialViewController()!
8            arViewController.eventListeners = self.eventListeners!
9            self.bridge?.viewController?.present(arViewController, animated: true, completion: nil)
10        }
11    }
12}

This file is where the methods that will later be executable from the TypeScript code are written.

1. ARPlugin.m

1#import <Capacitor/Capacitor.h>
2
3CAP_PLUGIN(ARPlugin, "ARPlugin", CAP_PLUGIN_METHOD(open, CAPPluginReturnNone);)

These methods are then registered with Capacitor.

In the Web App, the plugin is then used as follows:

1import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core';
2
3const ARPlugin = registerPlugin('ARPlugin')
4
5await ARPlugin.open()
