Question

I want to render SVG images in iPhone without using a UIWebView. How can I do that?

I have checked these 2 links:

Answer 1

Jason Morrissey, author of the extremely excellent Alien Blue app, the best iOS Reddit client on the store (can you tell I'm a fan? I'm also a beta tester.) recently put up his SVGKit framework, which renders SVG images as Core Animation layers. I haven't used it, but I know it exists.

And then, look... if you're just getting lots of errors when you bring in other people's classes, my strong suspicion is that you're not following their "how to use" instructions. They'll mostly tell you what frameworks are required and what platforms they support. Every time I've tried to use something like this and had a compilation bloodbath, I've gone back and found some installation instruction step I missed.

It's easy.

SVGKImage *svgImg = [SVGKImage imageNamed:@"add-control-panel"];
SVGKFastImageView *imgView = [[SVGKFastImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(10, 100, 420, 280)];
imgView.image = svgImg;
[self.view addSubview:imgView];

Answer 3

I just managed to compile SVGFlashRenderer. For iOS you need to open the project from the directory SVGRendererTouch. And don't forget to separately download contents of the lib/MROGeometry dir from github (just follow the link in the source tree).

P.S. For me, the best working solution was SVGKit, but not the version from Jason Morissey (mentioned in another answer), but a fork from reklis. It has many bugs fixed and works in a much more correct way.
